Please help me guys. I am playing a very old game. Burnout Paradise is a old 8 year old racing video game. I have a very powerful and capable computer to run a 8 year old game. I have a MSI R9 280X Twin Frozr 3GB. This card is a beast at running an 8 year old game. When I played Burn out Paradise at 1440p the game was dropping frames below 60fps but was getting above 30fps. This is a weird issue because the GTX 960 has similar performance to the R9 280X, In this video this person has a GTX 960 and is playing Burnout Paradise at 1440p 60fps no problem. Has the exact same settings as me, all max settings. So I assume this is a driver issue with the R9 280X. What drivers do I need to download so Burnout Paradise will play better? Also the audio is messed up too. Burnout Paradise is the only game that is giving me audio problems. I hear a buzzing noise from my monitor speakers whenever I play Burnout Paradise. I know there is nothing wrong with the monitor speakers. My monitor is the Acer H257HU. Here is the video of a person playing Burnout Paradise at 1440p with a GTX 960. Well I can't post youtube video link because I am new here but just search this on youtube, GTX 960 | FX-8320 Burnout Paradise (1440p Resolution) (1440p60FPS)
All other games ok? I would try the latest 16.1 betas, they are pretty stable drivers. Be sure to use DDU first.
You guys will not believe this bullcrap!! All this time I thought my computer had a R9 280X. It turns out I had a R9 270 all along. The R9 270 is extremely weak and slow graphics card. No wonder it could not handle Burnout Paradise at 1440p. The seller that sold me the computer lied to me and said he put a R9 280X in the computer. I am so fed up now
Where did you buy your PC from? You seriously need to look into getting your money back. While the 270 isn't the worst card in the world, it's a huge step down from a 280X in both performance and cost.
Where did you buy it? Internet listings? Or just off a personal ad? Something tells me their lie went into the cost. Pretty scummy move on the sellers part to fake a gpu.
The 270 is not a terrible card. I have a 270X and play most games on high at 1080p. But you can't play much at 1440p on that card because it has 2GB of VRAM. Sorry you got duped man.
