Issues with R9 280x performance

[DrHazard]

Hi,

My R9 280x began dropping frame rates down dramatically the other day, the only way I seem to be able to fix this bug is by rolling back the drivers then launching a game. Then, when I next boot my PC on ti will do the same so I need to update the drivers. This fixes the issue again, until the next time the PC is turned on when once again I must roll back the drivers and so on..

Any suggestions? Thanks.

What game?

Any game really, I've tried - Assetto Corsa, GTA V, Project Cars 2 and even brawlhalla drops slightly (onboard graphics can run that well).

Maybe it's thermal throttling. How are your temperatures. And have you overclocked anything.

When the issue is occuring, GPU is around 35/40°C so no issues there. Without the issue temps are still good too.

When monitoring afterburner I did however notice that with the issue occurring my gpu is maxed out in usage whereas after changing the drivers round it does not reach max when locked at 60fps. I've got no overclocking on the card.
