Ive been out of the gaming scene for awhile but just before falling out I bought a pair of Sapphire 290x GPUs. Ive started trying to get back into BF4 but the experience isn't matching up to expectations in terms of performance. Regardless of crossfire and whether I'm using DX11 or Mantle, I get poor performance in the area of sub-30 fps with everything turned on at 1920x1200 resolution. I'm running 14.4 drivers. Here's the system specs:
ASUS P8Z77 motherboard
i7 2600k
16GB RAM
x2 Sapphire 290x
SSD
According to [H]ard's review, I should be pulling way more than double the framerate, any ideas??
Initial Update: Running GPU-Z with crossfire disabled, the main GPU was running at 71c at idle. I blew the dust out of the card and its dropped to 63c after about 10 minutes of being back in place. I'd assume, could be wrong, that its throttling itself under load and that's causing my issues?
