AMD Radeon R9 M370X Struggling to play games (i.e. GTA V) - bootcamp

Hello I am running bootcamp with windows 8.1 pro.


I have the latest retina Macbook pro (mid-2015) with AMD Radeon R9 M370X graphics, with 2.8 ghz processor and 16 gb of ram.


it's completely maxed out spec-wise, yet it struggles in bootcamp, for games.

I haven't been able to try it with other games, but with GTA V it is really struggling, it lags, even when the lowest resolution settings are on, and is next to unplayable.


Is this what I should expect with my maxed out macbook? Or is there another issue that maybe causing this.

Thanks in advance!


Things I have tried:

- Update graphics drivers, (which windows says its up to date) but I'm unsure if it is or not.

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015), Windows 8

Question to everyone who has the M370x. Does your Catalyst control panel show more than just "Presets" and "Pinned"? Mine doesn't, and mine has been throttling down to 400MHz a few times a minute. Drives me insane. I can't help but think my driver isn't installing properly. I've talked to ATI and they say to talk to Apple... I talk to Apple and they say to talk to ATI.
