Ok, how about using more than one version of the earlier drivers?
I can't explain why you would get bad fps with low GPU and CPU usage. Also see if your PSU is fit to handle the power draw. It draws 50W more than your 6870.
Is the gameplay smooth? can you play without that laggy experience? Cause that doesn't seem like bad fps to me on Ultra without AA on. Try turning Shadows and post processing to medium, see how that goes. They kill FPS.
Your psu may be a 650w unit but its of very poor quality one. High ripple at medium to high loads and terrible voltage regulation. Not to mention the unmatched 12v rail outputs..
Wouldnt be surprised if the psu's output is causing your system to act weird. Perhaps the gpu is throttling due to being starved of amps. Well worth a look anyway imho.
I would steer away from overclocking completely on this psu (even if the system were running fine) good chance it would cake it soon enough.
Best of luck mate.

yea i definitely need a new psu, but if it was holding the gpu back it wouldnt perform in benchmarks. just started with the overclocking. i found this guide, but it's hard to apply because he uses a different bios. i'm currently at 4.0 ghz, here is the cpu-z screenshot
tried with a 22.5 multiplier but it wouldnt boot

i heard that the rated fsb is important and mine is only at 2Ghz. my goal is 4.6ghz, i will definitely not reach that just with the multiplier.
You mean the "FSB AKA Bus Speed @200 " , that's you will need to change. Just be careful because the FSB changes the clocks of all the stuff in there like RAM, HT Link etc, so you need to keep those values closer to normal as possible
Hmm I am not experienced with Those kind of boards but my guess is you have an unstable overclock. It would be easier to help if I was there.

i could provide some pics from the bios
That would be so nice, Also you could provide info about how you over-clocked your CPU so far, what you changed, what you increased, stock settings all that stuff please.
the old overclock was an auto overclock, but i do know the settings. 230 core clock, 18x multiplier, 1.44V
i also had a failed overclock to 4.6 with 230 core and a 20x multiplier. same voltage
Tyy a FSB of 210 with 20X multiplier , set the Loadline Calibration to High, and set the CPU/NB and HT Frequency to manual and if they havae a multiplier set it in such a way that their frequencies don't go up too much. Not above 2500 anyway. it should be about 2100MHz but if you decide to go further keep in mind that increasing those clocks could result in instability so you will need to decrease them multipliers so you stay within the limits. Overclocking takes time especially when no one is teaching you, it's up to you to find those settings and do the research... just like I did.
i dont have any multipliers for the nb frequency, i can just set it to something
this is quite weird, in the description it gives me values, but i can only choose enable, disable or auto
