Hello, in someway my GPU never get up to 80%, 72% max on Arma 2: OA so with that i get a decent 20-30 FPS on very high settings, In other games like Skyrim,Chivalry and Battlefield 4 my GPU Usage is at 90% above this low GPU usage is only in Arma 2. I have the latest Geforce Drivers (Beta) 331.93. My GPU is MSI Twin Frozr GTX 660 2GB oc'd.

Full system:

Core i7 3770k @4.2 Ghz
16GB 1600Mhz PVI Ram
PC-K63 Lancool Case
700W Silverstone PSU
GeLid GX-7 Cooler
MSI TWIN FROZR GTX 660 2GB

Arma 2 is just ones of those games that never seem to make sense. I believe it is mainly due to the gpu not really being placed under that much stress due to it not being that visually demanding. It's more reliant on the cpu than anything, I was in the same boat earlier on in the year so i had a little mess around with my system. With just the Intel HD Graphics 4600 integrated within my cpu, Arma 2 OA manages about 20-30 frames with high settings, but with my 7950 in it only does usually around 5-10 frames more.

** The game is poorly optimized in general so its no surprise that many people have problems with getting high fps on it.
