CPU: i7 950/Hyper-threading is enabled OC'd @ 4.0 and cores are unparked.
Geforece Drivers: 331.82
OS: Win7
GPU: GTX 670 SLI/ OC'd almost similarly. 1 is from msi and the other from evga.

So I chose a spot on Flood zone(BF4) that I knew gave me a performance hit(everywhere in the middle of the map.lol)
I tested it on presets ultra & low, but gpu usage never went over 70% when on ultra and my frames stayed relatively low:(

Low: http://i.imgur.com/b2Y2mEt.png
Why is my gpu usage low on the more intensive parts of the game? shouldn't it be higher at more intensive parts? Thinking of just buying the 4670k.
Any ideas?Thanks!

I disagree. It's quite well optimized, it's just very demanding.
