I just bought a new PC that should have pretty decent performance. But I am having sub par performance, and what's worse the two programs that are supposed to be able to configure my GPU won't damn well work.
Intel Core i5 3750k
AMD Radeon HD7870 2GB OC Edition (Gigabyte)
ASRock Extreme 4
8GB 1600 RAM
1TB HDD
620W PSU
I am trying to play Assassin's Creed 3. I can play it at comfortable FPS at 720p, medium settings. However there are videos on youtube of people playing it at 30fps with fraps with max settings at 1080p with my graphics card!

Now when I play, I am usually under 30fps in enclosed spaces (the ship at the beginning) with graphics set to high (middle) and AA / Shadows at minimum.
To the real point of my question. There are supposed to be two ways to configure the graphics settings.
1 is AMD Catalyst Control Centre. This from here, there is supposed to be a "gaming" tab I can use to adjust things like AA. But when I load it up, all I get is this

2 is "Gigabyte OC Guru II" I have installed this from the disc, and when I try to run it, simply nothing happens. One time I saw the screen flash up then disappear immediately. I can't get it to work. I think this program is meant to be used to adjust voltages and such.
Please help, I am extremely frustrated with this, I don't have much time to game at the moment and I am very angered that I have spend my afternoon trying to figure out how to configure this accursed machine.
