Hello, I recenlty bought a pc for my cousin. But the gpu, AMD r9 270x, isn't performing very well?

 

In a game like, let's say, borderlands 2. I get about 20 fps on low with physx turned off.... Whiilst a guy on youtube (I'm adding the video down below) get's and avg of 59 fps on ultra! (physx off)

This is insanely annoying. Same with some other games I've got like: CS:GO, Age of Empires 2 HD edition (YES IT*S TRUE I GET LIKE 30 fps.. I mean come on), crysis 3 (You're supposed to be able to play this in very high with aa at 4x on like 50 fps avg.) also the DayZ standalone. I get like 30 fps in the woods and like 8 in cherno.... WIth LOW!!!!!

 

Oh and for your info, I've also OC'd the card. To about 5% more but the cooling is amazing and it never reaches higher than 55 degrees celcius

Help me please! There's a bunch of games on top of these I mentioned that the gpu CAN handle I know it can! but just won't for this one. Here's my gpu btw:

XFX Radeon R9 270X 2GB GDDR5 PCI-Express 3.0, "DD-Edition", GHOST 2.0, DL-DVI-I + SL-DVI-D, HDMI, 2xmini-DP799016.jpg

Video with a guy haveing an insanely great Borderlands 2 experiance :( I want that too.

 

 

PLEASE HELP ME! // Deadran and his let down cousin

I can't pin point your problem but if the card is only reaching 55 degrees then it's definitely not being used, under load that card would easily exceed 70 degrees or more. Obvious question would be are your drivers up to date and what are your PC specs.

A double D cooler maxing out at 55c is hilarious 

 

as stated above the card must not be under max load, the DD cooler is barely better than reference.

The 270x runs pretty cool. 55c is perfectly normal.

Unless his case is a turbine I wouldn't think so, especially in the scenario that the GPU is the limiting component.

Run a few games and monitor the GPU % usage and clock with GPU-Z or Afterburner performance logging

Double check, uninstall the current drive and download the latest stable from AMD's website.

I see that you have a CD drive, you didn't use the disks that came with the GPU did you?

Not that it will make a big difference, (I'm with everyone else wondering if you have the latest drivers and only them installed), but is the memory running at DDR3-1333MHz or DDR3-1600MHz - check the BIOS settings?

Well, as you can see your GPU is not being fully utilized for some reason

 

what's strange is also your memory usage, it looks maxed out at 1GB.

OMFG! D: Is there some way to change that? Or should I just send the pc to the guys that built it so they can take a look at it.

I know the feeling. You might want to be a little more restrained. At least until they acknowledge that it is indeed a faulty gpu. Otherwise it could be quite embarrassing if they found something unrelated to the gpu or other hardware.
