Amd 390 performance

[jehannes]

Hello,

I have got this new amd r9 390, and i play alot of games like h1z1, arma 2 dayz mod and rocket league.

The thing is, that i heard i could max out every game with the 390, but on h1z1 (which is not hardest to run of recent games) i get like 40-50 fps when im in a city. Still great of course. And on arma 2 get like 50 fps with some big drops here and there. And on rocket league i get like 59-60 fps.

Now i know that it is not the best card, but shouldn't it be. Bit higher? Should i overclock?

And is this safe?

Thanks in advance

Btw my cpu is i5 4670

They are two very badly optimized games if you had 4x titan x in sli your won't get stable 60fps..

And with rocket league just turn off vsync

OS?

Driver version?

ARMA 2 is awfully optimized.

ARMA 2 is awfully optimized.

Os: windows 8.1

Driver version: idk, but i updated it today, and there were no new drivers detected.

arma is optimization hell...

 

a friend of mine used to run arma at like... 50ish fps on a 4770k, when his mobo needed repairs he temporary ran an FX8350, the lags were hilareous

That is probably true, it seems like todays games are nearly always badly optimised.

Guess theres something to do with AMD's optimization on those games, my 760 OEM could max out H1Z1 with around 40FPS

key word "seems"

I've always found the games that people say need a supercomputer to run smoothly run fine..

Watchdogs and ac unity I had no issues with on a gtx 650

And games do come out great like GTA v and mad max

What's the rest of your system? Which 390?

That is probably true, it seems like todays games are nearly always badly optimised.

The developer teams on H1Z1 and ARMA 2 are small so don't expect much optimation there. Games that are more popular have a larger and more experienced developer team, so games like rocket league and call of duty have better framerates.

It's the sapphire nitro

It's funny, because when i played on my old laptop, i played games on lowest settings on 20-30 fps, and i found the games to run perfectly smooth, now i'm annoyed by drops to 50.

I have that card, doesn't overclock much. Mine quit at 1100MHz. Even running 1110MHz produces artifacts. But I run Witcher 3 at ultra with it. "If" there's an issue I wouldn't suspect the card. What temps are you running?

How do i check that?

How do i check that?

I use MSI Afterburner. Great overclocking software and provides GPU temps and usage in real time.

Download HWmonitor or MSI afterburner. You will need something like afterburner to overclock, although you can also overclock through CCC. (catalyst control center) but I recommend Afterburner.

Great advice guys, ill update the temps later,

I keep getting suprised by this community man, its awesome!
