Playing at lower frame rates on Code Aw can help improve performance.
You're facing performance issues because the game isn't optimized for your PC's hardware. The R9 290 series graphics cards are powerful, but running them at 20 FPS on a mid-range PC suggests compatibility or driver problems. Check your GPU settings, update drivers, and consider using a more capable card if possible.
It seems like the issue might be with your CPU or you could wait for a patch release.
Crossfire assistance becomes accessible only once AMD releases an updated driver version. Perhaps this is the problem; until then, the safest option is to turn off the second component and test it to determine if the issue lies there.
You haven't played Crossfire much, but using a GPU-capable catalyst might help. It could push performance up to around 60+ frames per second.
I turned off one of the settings and my FPS increased noticeably, but I still experience occasional drops in the 30s and 40s.
Remove the GPU and possibly boost your CPU speed to 4.5-4.7Ghz, then test performance changes.
