Well you ignored my post. Again: the R9 380 simply isn't a good card for lower resolutions than 1920x1080, I would change the monitor / use VSR or get a GTX 960, that's less/or not CPU limited in that low resolution you use for gaming. Again, AMD drivers are single threaded, NV use 2 threads, they are way less CPU limited, this is just "on top" of what you already know, you should not ignore it. AMD cards all in all are good, drivers are good enough too, this is rather a specific problem with your PC + low resolution. btw. I don't think it's the hard drive, you only lose FPS with a hard drive if Ram needs to be loaded again by it, mid game. That's rarely the case though, maybe in Skyrim more than in other games.
PS. A card that's bottlenecked by CPU would clock down, because it's bored by the low resolution and missing data from the CPU. The lower the resolution, the better the IPC of the CPU must be, for Radeon drivers at least, to not bottleneck the GPU. You use a i5 2400 @ 3,8 GHz @ 1440x900, that's basically the opposite what Radeon drivers like. Optimal with an R9 380 would be a resolution of 1080p or 1440p with the same CPU or a bit stronger. But only the resolution makes a big difference, because it needs so much more graphics power to drive a 1920x1080 resolution compared to 1440x900, that the bottleneck would shift from CPU to GPU here, and I don't think (with fixed bios and all) that the GPU would then still clock down.
