Bit disappointed with my 390x

will the bios make a difference considering my card is essentially a 290x from 2013, around the same time my motherboard was released?

To be honest with you, I don't think it'll make much difference; I was just trying to think of something that might be worth a shot. Perhaps wait until someone confirms its worth doing before going ahead. Good luck. :)

I get 45fps average so not too far. You're also well below the review benchmarks!

I've probably mis-read, but i think he was getting that at 1440p not 1080p which I thought was what you were running at? So a fairly significant difference in performance - he's slightly below the reviewed performance but not much, you're miles off.

(Apologies if I've totally misread that, it's early...)
 
yeah his fps was around the same as mine. On the one hand it was a higher res but on the other hand it was a fury which is more powerful than my 390x so I assumed that it balanced all balanced out!

Try using vsr for 1440p and see how different it is then.

For Firestrike @ 1080p.,

I just ran a stock clock Firestrike and I had a result using an 1100mhz overclock (extra 60 mhz) on the Fury from months ago

I also added 2 results from my MSI 290x gaming, one stock and one with an 1130mhz overclock (extra 100 mhz).

Add yours to compare.

How do you compare?

Your graphics score should sit nicely between them.

Looking at there Dirt rally result is shows identical minimums and averages which is impossible so they've messed it up somehow, I'd of liked to know the true minimum. It would be interesting to know what the differentiating factor is for there extra 5 odd frames.

EDIT: Hold on I'm slower with a Fury when that's a 390 score :(

That dirt rally one is interesting- with maximum setting, when I run the benchmark I get 45fps.

Is it throttling or anything? It usually sits at 75c+ after half an hour of gaming.

Hmm this is interesting. With my 1440p monitor I get 30fps with my Fury X, i5 4690k, windows 7. Dirt Rally everything maxxed out benchmark - with Vsync. Latest Crimson.

Turn Vsync off and results are much better... but also 45fps average

That is odd compared to my result with the lower Fury Tri-x model. The only significant differences are the cpu and OS, you have the i5 (4690k) & Win 7 while I have the i7 (4790k) & Win 10,

As a lover of Win 7 and a hater of Win 8 you should move up to Win 10 while it's a free upgrade. With a few small tweaks like how it downloads updates it's as good as Win 7 was.

Leaving aside other reasons why I don't want Win 10 that opens another can of worms with Skyrim i.e. an unwanted border around the edge of the screen from Win 8 onwards in Fullscreen. One Tweak plugin will fix that but its a borderless windowed mode and that doesn't play nicely with Freesync not to mention FRTC. There are reputedly other issues too. And I play Skyrim much, much more.
 
I think I have figured out what might be causing my problems. When I load into a game (playing a lot of Far Cry 3 and 4 and GTA V at the mo) I get a stuttery 35fps or so. If I turn off vsync and turn it back on again it locks to 60fps. Is this a driver issue or something?

What driver are you using? It could be the clock fluctuation issue, it is magnified under Vsync and present for some users on Crimson drivers. Catalyst 15.11.1 Beta should improve your performance, download here.

We hope to have a fix for this issue shortly, stay tuned!

I'll give the beta a try cheers
