Windows 10: R9 390 Not Performing Well On GTA V

Hi,
I recently upgraded from a HD7790 to an MSI R9 390 8gb. Every single game has an obvious performance increase, except GTA V. For some reason my old HD7790 can run GTA V on higher settings than my R9 390. Clearly something is wrong, but I'm not sure what. My CPU is an AMD A8 5500 and it does not pass the minimum CPU requirements for GTA V, so is it massively bottlenecking my GPU, or is the problem caused by something else?
Thanks.

:)

 

How do I change Taskbar icon preview from Thumbnail peek to List peek in Win 10 v 1703?

I'm running Win 10 Creators Update v 1703 build 15063.332 on a Samsung 850 EVO SSD \ i7 desktop PC \ R9 390 GPU with Crimson 17.5.2 drivers.

How do I change the Taskbar icon preview from Thumbnail peek to List peek in Win 10 v 1703. It would be the same type of taskbar icon previews as it was in Win XP.

Is there a way to change this natively in Win 10 v 1703?

Thanks

Thank you for your feedback so soon as it is greatly appreciated. I got a usb media tool for windows 10 but when I tried to connect my monitor to my graphics card then start my computer it couldn't get signal. I tried using a DVI cord as well but it didn't
work. The monitor itself if working fine since I am using it when plugged into my mother board. The graphics card is assembled correctly in the mother board and is detected through device manager so I don't know how it can't be connecting. I also tried using
the start up repair when connected to my mother board and it said that it couldn't repair my pc and said try other options. Is there any other way to repair my windows and be able to connect my monitor?

Thank you.

 

I would say the bottleneck is the issue. Recommend you upgrade the cpu.

 

Thanks for the quick reply *Smile .

 

Make sure you have the right drivers. I ALSO have a cpu that is under powered for GTA5 and it wouldn't run UNTIL I got Win 10 (had Vista) despite getting a new GPU (the 290 in my case).

Even though they udated the AMD drivers, when you click on the update page it shows the same update. Download it anyways and check for yourself what version is on the installer.

Once I got the right update, it ran great.

 

Ok, thanks, I will try that. I did check for updates using the AMD software but this might not have been enough.

 

Yeah, that A8 is definitely bottlenecking you. I had an A8 with an R9 290 and got a 20+ FPS increase when I switched from the A8 to an FX-8350.
