R9 series GPU - severe FPS drops
" I'm not saying the game doesn't have optimization issues as well, but historically, there were MORE issues with AMD cards than Nvidia cards. As I also said however, most of those have been resolved. I'm speaking from the lifetime of the game from Closed Beta until now (which is a lot of time). Over that time, there have been consistently more issues with the ati/amd cards where as most of the nvidia ones seemed to "just work" (for the most part). The issues that plagued nvidia cards were also different than the poor performance of the ati/amd cards. They both have had some issues, but there seemed to be a more difficult time getting the ati/amd working properly. More configurations, and to a degree it seemed like more luck was involved. It also doesn't help that the AMD guys basically refuse to talk to GGG while Nvidia has worked pretty closely with them. I think that also speak volumes. I'm also partial to nvidia now because of other issues in the past as well.. but I think my position has been solidified that I'd rather support nvidia as a company based on my experiences and how willing they are to work with indie developers to ensure the games and their cards work together properly. |

" Yes I play other games, I've been playing Skyrim recently and it runs incredibly smooth considering the 4k texture packs, ultra settings and the 20+ mods that I'm running simultaneously. With my previous card I could only achieve a stable playable framerate at medium/high settings. Path of Exile seems to be the only game with which I have problems. " 1. Yes, I've tried the latest stable and the latest beta drivers. Currently using latest beta catalyst drivers. 2. Can't I'm on Windows 8, unless there's a way to do that on Win 8 that I'm not aware of? " Ok, will do that. |

" That could very well be it, but I also got an SSD and installed everything from scratch, so no remnants for sure. Last edited by Hubologist#1650 on Aug 2, 2014, 3:37:35 PM

Start with Drakiers suggestion first, why do you ignore that? Your list of installed Catalyst software looks messy...

" You mean performing a clean driver installation due to lingering nvidia drivers? I didn't ignore it, as I said, I did perform a clean installation of everything because my hard drive is also new. Other than that I also used DDU http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html to upgrade catalyst 14.4 (latest stable driver - the one I had installed before) to 14.7 (latest beta driver) to try and see if there would be any improvement. There wasn't. I can always try that again of course, but no I did not ignore his advice. Why do you say it looks messy? Last edited by Hubologist#1650 on Aug 3, 2014, 11:51:53 AM

Im having the exact same problem.
I had a hd 6870 before, about 2 weeks ago, that ran the game pretty well at the max settings. Now with a far superior card I have inconsistent framerate and stuttering. I already reinstalled the drivers and updated to the 14.7 beta, without changes. My PC specs are: AMD Fx 6300 @ 4.2ghz (already tested with stock clocks, no changes) 8gb hyperx blu ddr3 1600mhz r9 270x powercolor turboduo video card with stock clocks 1tb wd hdd 250gb samsung hdd OCZ 500w sxs power supply (yeah, im about to buy a better one) I'm playing Tomb Raider, Battlefield 4 and Batman Arkham Origins smooth at max settings, even Watch Dogs is running better. Someone solved the problem? Any idea? |

i think every one of you has the same problem in common and that is the same video card driver or at least close to it. Video card drivers are generally just a patchwork of mess so newer drivers wont do anything for older engines...generally speaking. You may want to try downloading older ati drivers and installing them in lieu of your current drivers. This is just a guess though but seems logical as its mostly the newer ati cards with the newer drivers having these issues :/
