R9 290X CRAZY LOW Performance/FPS HELP!

[mahdisolidsnake]

Hey
So I tried out my new Built PC and I've been getting very low fps in every game, there is no difference between low or ultra It's at 15-20 fps in all games.
I tried Watch dogs, Crysis 3 and Far cry 3 and all of them are unplayable
I deleted amd drivers twice using Display Driver Uninstaller and reinstalled them but still the same 
Even tried Unigine Heaven 4.0 and got same score using low and Very High settings
Any Help is appreciated  

Specs:
gigabyte Z87x-OC 
i5 4690K 
Hyper Evo 212
Sapphire R9 290X Tri-x 4GB
Lepa B1000m 1000W
Kingston HyperX Fury 2x4GB 1866

Hmm. First things first, you are using the GPU graphics aren't you? I've made that mistake before.

[Arcanekitten]

do you have the drivers installed ?

[Arcanekitten]

yeah

I would say check to make sure you're not using the iGPU, but that would be a fairly good score for intel HD graphics.

Yes i'm using GPU graphics

Try using an older driver. Or, make sure you are using the AMD provided driver.

Was the card used, or brand new?

Does your motherboard have a low power mode or something like that? There was someone else on the forum who had the same problem only to realise it was the low power mode in his/her motherboard that was activated...

Is Cpu core speed normal? It's at 800Mhz while benchmarking

no....

Check for thermal throttling?

[mahdisolidsnake]

Check for thermal throttling?

sorry this is my first build i'm kinda noob so how do I check for Thermal throttling?

[mahdisolidsnake]

no....

check the image its at 798.10 Mhz

Use Msi afterburner to measure gpu and cpu temps and clock speed. If the temps get really high/ the clock speed goes down you are thermal throttling. Use msi kombustor to stress your gpu and cpu to perform this test

Ok I'll try it and get back to you

hmmz i see a DC cpu on a Gigabyte Z87 board.

Thats not allways a good combination, check your cpu voltages and such.

 

I have seen allot of people having cpu voltage issues, with a Devils canyon cpu on an older Gigabyte Z87 board.

The bios of these boards, dont seem to work verywell with the newer cpu´s.

Ofc this does not mean, that that is causing your problem,

but i would double check the cpu voltages.

you do have the money hdmi or do I cable plugged into the gpu and not the mobo right??

[mahdisolidsnake]

I checked and while testing 
gpu clock 999 Mhz
Memory clock 1250 Mhz
Temps got to 72C

yes it's connected to GPU

[mahdisolidsnake]

Ok so now I think it's my CPU and not GPU 
found other guys that had the same problem
the cpu is stuck at 800 Mhz while gaming and benchmarking
can anyone help me?

Run a CPU benchmark like Prime95. If CPU-Z is showing 800 MHz while doing the SmallFFT test then you have problems with your CPU, board, or BIOS settings. Make sure to explicitly stop Prime95 though, I think it'll just minimize and run in the background if you just click the X in the top corner that virtually every other other program in the world interprets as close the program.

 

Heaven is extremely CPU light (I get the same scores with my GTX 970 whether I use my quadcore Xeon or dual core Pentium), so I wouldn't take the CPU downclocking itself to 800 MHz as a bad sign there necessarily.

It's almost certainly a BIOS configuration error, it always has been in the past here when people have had the exact same problem you do. Call Gigabyte's tech support and they should be able to help you get things configured correctly.

 

Are you sure you have turned off the igpu in BIOS? This image you posted is strange, in that it's showing both your Radeon and the integrated graphics for GPU model. I don't think it did that for me with my G3258 + GTX 970 (now I use a Xeon E3-1231v3 which doesn't have an igpu, so I can't test whether that would show up now on my system). It looks like you still have the HD Graphics driver installed also.

just did a cpu stress test using AIDA64 Extreme and all cores stayed at 798 Mhz
