Hello community,

I have problems here. My R9 280X can't performs well.

-Graphics lag/stuck
-Drop FPS for sometime.

But, I tried to fix it by clean the dust, apply the new thermal paste, and update the drivers. I still got the same result. I just played Garry's Mod, Battlefield 3.

GC: R9 280X
Proc: Intel i5-4570
RAM: 8GB
Mobo: Intel DH67BL

Normal without game around 40°C-70°C, 70°C-80°C while in game, sometime reached to 90°C.

About power supply I don't remember the brand name, but I trust it has 550W.
