Poor performance, hardware not maxed

maybe you guys can help me out, so in the hardline beta and even bf4 my gpu usage is never maxed, it usually hovers around like 40-50 percent if not less. sometimes spiking to almost 70%. my cpu usage on my 6 cores is never more than 40 % on any core. my ssd is not being maxed and my ram is not maxed either. yet I only get around 35-50 fps. ive messed with the settings and such but nothing seems to change. My question is, if my gpu/cpu/ram/ssd are not maxed why is my performance low? 

cpu is a phenom 2 x6 1055t thuban 1.575 volt at 2.8ghz boost to 3.1
gpu is a amd hd HIS 6970

ram is 8 gigs of 1333
ssd is the samsung 840

happens in other games too but not very many. off the top of my head.... warframe 

if anyone can help or point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. I fully understand if its my older hardware just not being optimized or what not but if you know or have dealt with this before I would very much appreciate any constructive feedback

On this one I will say it is a beta, so you can't complain about how the game runs. But why are you playing Hardline? The Beta sucks, and honestly the fact that you can't drive all cars killed my interest.

for other games maybe drivers? idk if you are running 14.4

im running the newest drivers, whats your setup? and have you ever experienced this? ive been experiencing it in a few games now for the past year or so. I'm more curious as to why its happening. and why the hardware seems to not be utilized past a certain thresh hold. im sure if I upgraded my entire machine it would be a non issue. but If i can isolate it to being an issue with just my oldish graphics card and amd drivers than I can just go and nab a 880 ti when they come out without having to immediately upgrade my cpu/mobo. which I can always do at a later date assuming the right deal comes along
