R9 295x2 FPS at 3440X1440

[ScottWood]

hi,

i bought a new display at 3440X 1440 and now i have issues running must games such as gta, bf4 ect i can only think the card cant handle it as on 1080p its fine but at 3440 x 1440 i am getting frames like 15-20 on most these games. does anyone know whats going wrong as the benchmarks at 4k i see on the internet are much higher.

What cpu do you have? It could be a bottleneck

[ScottWood]

i have a 8350 at 5.2 however would the increase in screen size cause more strain on the cpu? 

[Patrick Bateman]

could be that crossfire is disabled. iirc it is treated as two 290x's

[ScottWood]

how do i know if its disabled?

iirc you can see in catalyst control center. also please quote me when you reply to my post

download msi afterburner and see with osd if your gpu usage isnt really low. and what game was this?

are you sure it's not overheating? what are your cpu temperatures?

wont be a problem. CPU has nothing to do with display resolution. i have a 3440x1440 samsung monitor myself, running a R9 295x2. No issues here.

 

however, you prolly used HDMI, which at those resolutions will only allow for 30FPS... this DOES fuck with the R9 295x2

Get a display port cable. That will fix some of it.

 

EDIT:

also, what motherboard are you using?

im using display port and a asus crosshair v formula z

the cpu is not overheating its in a 780t cooled by a kraken x61

this is on Battlefield 4 http://imgur.com/ASu2w4z

anyone think this could be due to the new drivers i got them and the new display at the same time?

nah, that doesnt seem right

 

do you have a second DP cable?

if not, get one. the cable itself may be broken, causing communication errors between the display and GPU...

 

second thing to test:

also, if possible, have a fan inside the case blow directly at the top of the card... the VRMs might be getting a bit toasty and thus throttling.

 

worst case:

PSU may not be good enough...

 

try to downclock your GPU using Crimson control panel. Just go to "Game" "global" then set your GPU core to -10% and GPU power limit to -10%

 

see what happens...

well it appears to be fluctuating quite badly..

[jimakos234]

is it possible to give us the full specs?

[ScottWood]

Yeah the full specs are 

R9 295x2

asus corsshair v formula z 

Amd Fx 8350 @ 5.2

16gb 1600mhz ram

Evga 1050w supernova 

kraken x61

i dont think its the cable as in some games its fine

ill try underclocking it

Evga Supernova 1050w gold

The cooler may be broken or the thermal paste not applied correctly. Don't assume it's not overheating, use a tool to check. Also, try lowering your cpu overclock to see if that does anything, sometimes overclocking can mess up performance.

the cpu wont go above 70 with an overclock and 50 with out.

[ScottWood]

i might roll back the drivers see if thats anything to do with it.
