I don't know if there is a problem but my overclocked R9 270 seems to be running a bit sluggish in games,

let me elaborate, when I am playing minecraft, modded minecraft and a few other games I seem to be getting ridiculously low frames I check MSI afterburner to see what is happening and my GPU is sitting at maybe 10-11% utilization. Now I know that this card is capable of running games on high settings because I play battlefield 4 on ultra with no problems it just seems to be when I play minecraft or modded minecraft. I am on the latest 14.9 drivers if that helps.

Any information to getting my frames up would help a lot.

My CPU shouldn't be a problem AMD FX 6300 overclocked to 4.4Ghz. The temperatures on my CPU are around 40 and for my GPU 55 just to let you know.
