On my r9 270x MSI hawk edition when I run FurMark at 1930x1080, full screen and with 8xmsaa I get about 9fps and (with 99% utilisation) I get 63C. However without msaa I get 45fps and 75C. My clock speed is 1250Mhz and memory is 1550Mhz with +20% power. Is this normal? And what causes this?
 
Furmark is useless man!!!

Use benches like Firestrike X or 11X or Heaven maxed out if you wanna test temps under artificial loads.
 
Furmark used to damage a lot of cards by drawing a lot of power and runing high temps.

Now the GPU manufacturers don't allow furmark to work how it used to in the drivers. So now as a testing tool its pointless.
