Fx 8320 + R9 270x Troubles

[ceptalis21]

Specs:

8320 @ 4ghz

8gb 1333

xfx 270x

500 watt 80+

 

 

I have been having some performance issues in the following games.

 

Rust=Stutter

Gta 4=30 FPS avg.

Dayz SA/mod=unplayable no matter the settings or fixes

 

 

Are these games just broken on AMD?!? Dayz is the game i really want to be able to play but I have yet to figure out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

All of those games are broken for everyone. Very poorly optimized.

I have a rig on my home with a OC'd FX 8320 and a R9 280X that won't ever be able to max minecraft at 60fps due unoptimized mods.

 

Try messing around with settings, different driver versions, and see if there is any patch/mod that can get you better frames; also try to see if you can choose different APIs and versions.

Like Annoyedshelf said, those games are pretty much broken, even people with OC'd 4790k CPUs have trouble on poorly optimized games like Arma 3.

Rust is still in alpha essentially, so performance will be bad for everyone.

 

GTA 4, again a POS game engine which is very taxing to run.

 

DayZ, another title with a piss poor game engine.

Rust/Day Z and pretty much any MMO's (lots of people in an online game) Intel will run much better. Problem is our API sucks (not low level) and core optimization for those games are horrible. The worse optimization is in a game, the more Intel is ahead. GTA V should run better on AMD than GTA 4 though and most newer console ports should run fine. 

 

Eventually API will fix this and the AMD 8xxx will get closer to the I5, but we are probably about 2 years away from total adoption. Until that happens, Intel is just the way to go on some genres of games. GTA IV? That was just really crappy optimization. Most single player games run just fine on AMD. 

 

When you have 1-2 core optimized games (which most massive online games are atm) all that matters is this (see LTT results from forum users). Single core performance. You can see how AMD's compare at clock speeds against Intel's. This is why many of us recommend that people who want to play the bigger online titles go Intel K chips, and those that are more into console ports are just fine with an AMD.
