Problems with GPU (not using all of it)

Hi forum,

I am not getting the performance I am expecting out of PC (Specs down below). I purchased Watch Dogs and Dragon Age: Inquisition and neither of them run smoothly. Upon further examination I realized that the activity level on my GPU ( Radeon HD 7970 Ghz) was only reaching 60%. Is this what would cause the issue, and if so how would I fix it?

Specific Problems with each game:

Watch Dogs: On lowest settings it only hits 50 fps, on ultra it hovers around 30

DAI: Hovers around 30 fps, about every 30 seconds or so it drops to 0 then jumps back up to 30

According to various benchmarking websites my GPU should be able to at least hit 45 fps on ultra. I am running on the latest AMD drivers. Any help with these various problems would be greatly appreciated.
 
You would get a better response in the Video cards & Graphics forum.

That said, what CPU do you have, is it over clocked, and how much RAM?
