Lower than normal FPS in a few games with R9 390

[AmbellinaThePrise]

Okay, so I just built my computer some 3 days ago, I got the Sapphire Nitro R9 390, and have used it both stock and overclocked to 1115MHz core clock and 1585 mem clock and I'm noticing something a bit off when playing CoD 4 and Modern Warfare 2. My FPS sits around 90 pretty steadily, I don't have a frame limiter turned on, and I don't have Vsync or anything like that turned on anywhere, and other games, like CS:GO(295 FPS), Bad Company 2( 145 FPS) and Rocket League (220 FPS) run totally normally maxed out. But these two games are the exception right now and I don't know if it is something to do with the latest AMD Crimson drivers (16.3) or not. 
 

I know it's over 75, and as such for my monitor is fine, but it worries me to see it so low when I have seen a friend's GTX 770 get over 300FPS in CoD 4. Also worth noting that memory usage when playing those games is a little over 3 GB, and usually sits around 35% GPU usage.

 

Thanks, all.

You do know that CoD 4 and MW2 are like 7+ years old right?

You are most likely only getting around 90FPS because the games aren't optimized.

No, that's the actual engine cap.

Those games are old - they use 1 or 2 cores from the CPU, that might be the bottleneck.

No, I'm a complete hermit with absolutely no concept of time...

If this is the truth, then I wonder how it is I've seen frame rates higher than that. Maybe some tweaks in the game files or something?  Either way that would make me feel rather silly for worrying about it. It just didn't seem right.

I believe the cap applies to multiplayer.

If it doesn't, I think there's a way to remove it as I've hit 144FPS in CoD 4.

Now my worries are finally laid to rest. Finished installing Fallout 4 and I keep a solid 60 most of the time  besides a few super intense moments with maxed out settings. So I know for certain the issue isn't anything with the card and is just the game. and maybe, if anything, the current AMD drivers and DX9 games.
