I just installed a new gpu to my system i previously had an AMD Radeon HD 6870 what in games like LoL would cap at the games 60fps setting and then in games like Skyrim max settings i would get things like 60-70 fps now i have a AMD Radeon 7970 and something is wrong. In lol i get like 25-35 fps and in skyrim like 20-25 fps and thats bad because my laptop does that with integrated graphics and it's almost a year old. So any suggestions as to a fix would be greatly appreciated thanks. Also i just reinstalled windows if that has anything else to do with it thanks.

Bad frame rate issues from a upgraded video card tend to be down to the power supply usually not giving it enough juice, What power supply are you running watts and make of the PSU, I'd start from there and also can you list me all of the other specifications of your PC need to workout the total load of your system typically.

good news for anyone paying attention it seems as though the random cut outs and fps issues were all of the same cause
when i installed the new drivers i edited the game 3d render settings in amd catalyst control and the little things i changed really messed stuff up so now with defaults in place i can play everything with high fps again and everything performs better including the card even stays a little cooler while surfing the web
