fps drops the longer i play

So speccy was reporting the temps wrong. I'm not sure what would cause the fps to go down so I'll try to get some help.

Yes. If you want to be sure right click on each and select open file location. If any are outside of the windows\system32 folder then you have a problem.

I am trying to get someone else to post on this. How do you know that frame rate is dropping? Have you validated that your gpu meets the requirements, preferably the recommends specs rather than minimal if applicable.

Ok, since you've opened another thread on this issue, please answer the following questions:

1. What games are you playing that only run at 20 fps?
2. What graphics settings are you using in the games?
3. What are you using to measure your frame rate?
4. Have you benchmarked the card to see if you can even run games at 1080p at a decent frame rate?
5. If you have, what benchmarking software did you use?


I think that part of your problem is that you have a low capability graphics card and you're trying to run high resolution games at a higher end graphics card frame rate. When you said you were going to buy this card in another thread, you said that you would not be gaming at high resolution. Having had a similar card myself in another rig, I advised you that you would probably be disappointed with the gaming performance of the R7. I'm not surprised that you are having low frame rates. That card is simply not up to the task.

The first thing you should do (if you haven't already), is use something like Unigine Heaven to benchmark the card at 1080p and see what you can realistically count on for average frame rates. I think you'll find that it's near or below 20 fps. Make sure to set the benchmark software to use the same graphics settings that you are using for the games you're having trouble with.

Here's where to get Unigine Heaven. Please run the tests and post the results:

You could also use this, instead:
