R9 390 problem

[c0mekillme]

Hello and sorry for my bad English. So i just bought a r9 390 nitro and i officially joined team red ... ok.

 

My problem is that i have very low framerates in games and lots of my games are  crashing. I am running windows 10 dev preview tho so crashing maybe has something to do with that OS but that doesn't explain why do i get low fps in games like Smite,The crew,NFS Most Wanted etc.

 

I did run Heaven Benchmark and i did get 1560 score with Avg 60 Min 8 and max 120 fps. And my old card was a gtx 660ti which had no problem running all of my stuff including that hungry Witcher 3 at 50 fps but i had to sell the nvidia card. So i was left with a single pci x16 slot hungry for another GPU and i figured that if i buy i better one i will atleast get the same or a bit more performance out of it.

 

My system is (please don't laugh.. alot)

 

CPU - intel core 2 quad Q9450 OC 3.2ghz (and can't get more out of it from this mobo)

GPU - Sapphire R9 390 Nitro 8g

RAM -  6g ddr mushkin redline 1000mhz 

Mobo - gigabyte ga-ep43-ds3l

PSU - Corsair cx 750w

SSD - Samsung 850evo 120gb (YES ITS ON SATA2 sue me!)

HDD - Hitachi 1tb

Case - NZXT H440

CPU cooler - zaward 120mm rad&fan

aaand another 6 fans in that awesome

 

I know that the cpu may be the bottleneck of my system but it do think that it can hold up for a few more moments and it actually did until amd came into my system.

Any suggestions/questions are welcome and thank you in advance.

Do you have all the correct drivers? I'm not sure if there is a driver for that OS or not.

totally not out of the ordinary

 

On topic: Which NFS Most Wanted? The Crew might just be a result of an old Uplay installation.

Maybe CPU bottleneck... See if you can upgrade that sooner rather than later.

DDU is your friend. Also, installing your drivers is your friend.

well .... duhh after my 35th installation of random amd drivers ... i was left to believe that it is the os  ... but my stupid mobo wont boot that cursed flash drive i guess it doesn't like it. As for DDU that was the first thing i did.

A little update. I tried the video card on a different pc with i5 cpu and it ran crisys 3 70 fps max 1080p so i guess my cpu really was my problem ;( and i have to let it go . So i ordered a brand new cpu i5 6600 ,gigabyte mobo, 8 gig ddr4 ram see how that goes for me. Thank you to everyone that replied to my first ever created thread
