I just purchased a new ASUS branded AMD R9 290 graphics card with 4GB vram and the performance with Trainz is the same or even worse than my previous card (EVGA GTX 650ti BOOST with 2GB Vram). I have tried DirectX and OpenGL and the game still runs slower than expected. I was hoping to max out the settings on Trainz and still enjoy smooth game play. Older routes seem to work fine, but newer TS12 routes do not perform so well. I have the latest drives from AMD installed and have all the latest drivers for my motherboard. I have Trainz install on a Samsung 840 EVO 250GB solid state drive and am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. I have the power options set to "High Performance" as well, so I am not sure what the problem is. I reinstalled Windows 7 after installing the new card to avoid NVidia/AMD driver conflicts. I have all the updates and latest drivers for everything so I am not sure what the problem is. Any help is appreciated.
Specs:
ASUS P8Z77-V PRO Motherboard
Intel Core i5-3570k Quad Core CPU @ 3.40Ghz
Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x 4GB) 1333Mhz DDR3 RAM
ASUS AMD Radeon R9 290 Video Card w/4GB GDDR5
Samsung 840 EVO Solid State Drive 250GB
Seagate Barracuda 1TB Hard Drive
Corsair CX750M Power Supply
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (fresh install w/updates, drivers, etc.)
ASUS VS247 1920x1080 Monitor
Again any help is appreciated. This video card was not cheap and I do not want to have to buy a new one.
