New R9 290x running worse than old GPU

[D4MAGED]

So I recently purchased a new GPU (http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131665&cm_re=290x-_-14-131-665-_-Product) and it's running at lower FPS than my older GPU (ATI HD5830). I manly play CS: GO and I used to get 120-180 FPS never dropping below 100 and now I get less than 100 FPS. I have 144Hz monitor so I need at least 144 FPS, but more than that creates less input lag(yes, I know that sounds crazy, but it is true in CS: GO).

Specs:
12GB of ram
Windows 10
Intel Core i5 660 @ 3.33Ghz
Power Color R9 290x GPU

Things I have tried:
Uninstalling and reinstalling the driver (x2)
Changing PCIE ports
Upgrading PSU
Overclocking

What are your temps at? is FRTC in CCC enabled?

That seems pretty weird, are temps fine?

[Agazed]

Re-install drivers.

 

EDIT: Didn't read post smh. What are your specs?

Yah you should be getting at least 300 fps with a 290x.. Hopefully someone can help you..

Try updating the motherboard bios too, I've seen that affect performance sometimes too.

What are your temps at? is FRTC in CCC enabled?

My temps are usually around 39 Celsius and I don't know where to enable FRTC(looks like it might only be on Fury X cards?)

 

From FRTC site: "Available on the following products: AMD Radeon™ R9 Fury X GPU, AMD Radeon™ R9 300 Series, AMD Radeon™ R7 300 Series, and AMD Radeon™ R7 260 and above GPUs"

FRTC is "Frame Rate Target Control" - it's a frame limiter AMD built into the Catalyst Control Center- it's available on all GCN cards - i have it, you should have it, we all have it.

Where in CCC would I find it?

Performance I believe - the same place where AMD overdrive is located.

Not there. Do I have an outdated CCC?

 

CCC version: 15.8 Beta (I switched to the beta earlier to see if that helped, it didn't)

It's there - under performance - then frame rate and there's your slider

It's not enabled so I guess that's not my problem

Yup - like I said - check temps - open GPU-Z and run a game for 15-20 mins and check them. Watch both core and VRM temps

Uninstall the Driver and run a drivercleaner in safe mode. Chances are high that its just a corrupt driver file in the registry.

Have you tried other games??

He's done it twice already - not sure if using DDU tho.

So I was playing CS for a few minutes and my temp went up to 45 degrees but I found that my core clock maxed at 700MHz and averaged 600.

fps must be capped in some way - check the ingame options - it should be running at max clocks unless you have V-sync enabled.

Here are my in-game settings: http://imgur.com/an56ijV

and my CCC settings for CS GO: http://imgur.com/e3rKHHv (I added a profile because I didn't want it to be changing my settings; like V-Sync)

 

(I get 800 FPS in menu but its capped at 120 and in-game its capped at 300 and my FPS stay the same when changing the cap)

In Minecraft I only get 50 FPS

Try putting -freq 144 in your starting options when right clicking the game on steam. I had this problem a few days ago.

 

Edit: Just saw your comment about Minecraft (still try it though)
