I just upgraded from a 5750 to a 7950 and was hoping to get a huge fps increase. But it seems to be around the same 30-40 FPS on most games and 60 on some when running low. My CPU and GPU usage is usually around 50-60% and the temps are around 50C. I tried the standard driver and the 13.11 beta driver, and updated my bios already. I'm out of options hopefully someone can help.

Thanks for reading :)

Specs:
Processor: AMD FX-8120 Eight-Core 3.1GHz
RAM: 8GB
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 7950 Sapphire
Mobo: GA-970A-UD3
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit

Do you even know what a bottleneck is?

This dude does not have a bottleneck!

He might have a bad card or something because his specs look fine.

You're going to be heavily CPU bound in Skyrim on medium, your CPU will only be able to push ~35 fps in some cases, so you might as well max the graphics out for some IQ since you're frame limited. I don't know about SR3, but I've heard it's not too well optimized which means it's also a candidate for a CPU bottleneck.

So would you recommend overclocking or just upgrading my CPU?
Also would the stuttering in games like minecraft or sleeping dogs could be because of the cpu?
