Ever since I bought this card, I've never been entirely satisfied with the performance.

For example, playing Saint's Row The Third, Saint's Row IV, or Saint's Row Gat out of Hell, it's next to impossible to achieve a stable framerate above 40. The framerate will always fluctuate between 25 and 60

CPU: AMD Phenom X6 II 1055T (2.4Ghz)
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
RAM: 8gb

I always felt that there was a bottleneck in my system but nobody has ever been able to identify it. I really don't understand. The newer Saint's Row games aren't the only games I have issues with either. It's pretty much any game released post 2005, I'll have framerate issues with. It's just very difficult to achieve a solid, stable framerate in any game.
