Hey Guys,

For christmas I got a wonderful GTX 760 FTW 4 Gb card. Now I'm having some issues with the GPU not being used at 100% utilisation. This issue occurs in many games including Crysis 1, Assassins Creed 3 and Far Cry 3, to name a few. However, in games such as Crysis 2 and 3 the GPU is running at 98 - 99% utilization the whole time as it should. I am really not sure as to why it is doing this.

I know that I'm not CPU bottlenecked because my CPU isn't maxed out. I played the beginning ship level as well as some of the Boston level in AC3 and logged it so that I could make some graphs to backup my point.

Processor: Intel i5 Ivy-Bridge 3550 @ 3.5 GHz (turbo-boost).
GPU: GTX 760 FTW 4gb
RAM: 16gb

I have 3x monitors, and run my gaming monitor off my GTX 760 and run my secondary monitors off of intel hd.

Nah I'm not using vsync. I don't like to use it anywhere unless I'm getting issues with stuttering or huge framerate changes, etc.

And yeah, i'm pretty confident as well that its not a CPU bottleneck, which is why i'm so confused about it - thanks for backing it up :)

Thanks
