what fps do you get in games like bf4? i have 2 7970's (asus hd7970 directcu ii) in crossfire yet in bf4 im getting low fps about 40fps average. on youtube there is vids of people with a similar setup as mine and they get much higher fps. i dont think its a cpu bottleneck since bf4 wont even max out my cpu usage. sits at about 70-80%. theres not one core thats 100%. i tried to overclock my cpu but there was no difference. all drivers are up to date. this is a brand new windows install. another thing i noticed is that the gpu usage is never a 100%.
gpu #1 sits at about 70% - 80% usage and gpu #2 gets about 60% usage.

my specs:
ASUS crosshair v formula z
2x asus hd7970 directcu ii
amd fx 8350
8gb (2x4gb) kingston hyper x black 1600mhz
bf4 is installed on a adata 256gb ssd
corsair ax 860 psu
