ASUS HD 7970 MATRIX Platinum low performance problem

Level 7
Hello guys.
So i have build my first computer and bought this card as used. I have installed the latest catalyst from amd sites. My first game i started was dirt 3. I set it on ultra full hd and it couldnt even do average 30fps. I saw guys having 100 and more on this gpu with this config. Anyway, when i start playing, i never go 100%. It always stops on 99% (via gpu tweak and msi afterburner). Another thing that bothers me is that lights never go red (extra heavy load), but only goes purple/pink. I had something about 6,5k on 3dmark firestrike (i5 4460, 8gb 1333). One last thing, the guy i bought it from wrote that the card has bios from r9 280x matrix plat. Please guys help i have no idea what to do. What i am planning is to use warranty. Btw sorry for english, not my native language 🙂

Sounds like something went wrong when the guy you bought it from flashed the bios. One has to wonder why he flashed in the first place since the 7970 matrix has higher default clocks than the 280x matrix 😄
What happens when you push the safe mode button or change the bios switch on top of the card?
You could also try flashing back the original bios or as you said go with RMA, not sure that will work with a flashed bios though.
