im running 290 xfire and initially thought it was the xfire making things horrid, annoying thing is if you watch youtube videos no one has this issue or comments on it

i did this upgrade a little while back, so worth it higher fps (most games were 10+ fps higher) but it was the average fps where it really shone the 8350 used to dip all the time

ive seen alot of other bench tests that claim the complete opposite, il be open minded but from own experience so far ive had the 8350 for about a year now and il admit, i didnt know alot about computers and was instructed by a friend (at the time i thought he knew alot about pcs) to go with that amd cpu?gpu combo

spending alot of money to play games to find out it runs like a sack of shite is very stressful, to me anyway anything red/black really has a msi 970 gaming currently it fits the build

390? i will be keeping the 290s

hiya guys, since fallout 4 has just been released and will not work, its the straw that broke the camels back, my current rig consists of r9 290 xfire, 16gb ram and a 8350 i seem to have bad performance in most games and get the occasional freezing and general annoyances, because my monitors freesync and because i don't think AMD graphics cards are bad in part, i wont be changing those but i have come to the conclusion shit or bust and have decided to change my cpu to intel, i dont want to spend too much because i have thrown money at this build and and quite frankly sick of it. so my question i5 4690k and an asus maximus v11 hero? or can i do better for the money. Before people tell me dont bother, i am at my wits end i have tried everything to get my performance in multiple games up (fallout 4, gta, mad max until i changed the power options to max) ive tried drivers, ive tried fresh installs, ive tried overclocking the cpu it just wont. It has a h100i and the 8350 will become unstable over 4.2ghz. by bad performance in games i means lower than intel cpu fps, i mean massive fps drops for no good reason, my gta on mainly max settings runs around 40fps with dips to 30 and it doesnt matter if i change the settings to low it has the same performance, by this rant/question im sure you can tell im just about ready to throw the towel in. cheers for any responses and help, i really do wanna be part of the pc master race lol but the effort and stress is too much. thank you
