I am having poor performance on Planetside 2 even thoughI I'm well above the recommended settings.
My gaming computer is brand new and not even a month old and I'm quite displeased.

I think that 300MHz is what the card is currently running at, when you put the GPU under some stress, that number goes up. I am in CCC atm and mine also says 300MHz.

Download ASUS GPU Tweak or MSI Afterburner and see what the numbers in there tell you

The CCC shows you the current GPU clock.

Since you are not running any graphics intensive application the card clocks itself down to save electricity.
What you need to do is monitor the graphics card's usage while you are in a game.

Download MSI Afterburner and run the game. After a bit of playing check Afterburner's GPU Usage in the monitor window. GPU usage should always be around 100%. If it is too low another part in your computer might be bottle-necking the card.
