Hello, everyone. So, around 20 days ago I purchased a MSI R7 260X OC 2GD5 from Newegg to replace my old GT 430. In those 20 days I've mostly been playing simple games like Don't Starve, Dota, etc, so I hadn't really noticed if the card was under performing. But just today I decided to try out Far Cry 3. Now if I set this game to ultra on DX11 at 1080p, I get a max of 25 fps which is obviously unplayable. But when I set it to the lowest settings possible, I only get around 35-40 fps which just feels too choppy. To add on to this, I also tried NFS: Hot Pursuit, a game from 2010, on the highest settings and I get 45 fps at the highest. Should I send it in for a replacement or is this normal?

The performance looks about right on ultra settings. But on mediums settings they get 67 fps. Do you have AO or something on when you run it on the lowest settings.
