R9 390 severely under performing.

[AskingForAFriend]

I have an i5-6500 and an R9 390, which should be a good match, but the GPU seems to be really under performing. This is in every game, but the one which really stood out was far cry4, which on ultra it would have 60-80fps, but me playing at very medium settings (I'm talking no MSAA or SSAO or any fur or game works or godrays) I only get about 50fps. I'm on the latest drivers and I have a Corsair RMX 650 for my PSU. Any help?

turn off vsync

 

sometimes vsync breaks itself and runs the game at ~45fps.

not even using vsync. Freesync.

Nope. Vsync, not Gsync. Vsync is a technology that is supported by many games regardless of the card manufacturer. It hits the performance of AMD cards. You should find it in the game's settings.

Freesync locks fps as well

Assuming you're playing at 1080p, what does your GPU utilisation look like?

they are actually fluctuating a lot. My CPU was at 100% and still got 55fps, now its at 55%and still gets arround 50fps! My GPU right now is 55%, and before it jumped to 80%, 70%, 90% and still gets the same fps! Something with power settings? I don't have power saver enabled in my power plan on windows or amd drivers

Use some actual benchmarks (furmark, unigine heaven, firestrike) and come back with those easy to compare results.

well, my gpu is still underperforming, instead of 100 fps in cinebench (which was an average with a video of the r9 390 and an i5 6600k) I get 63. Any fixes? No, I don't have any bottlenecks.

Try the others, cinebench is more of a cpu tool.

Try Firestrike, then post the results here.
