Hi there! I have GTX 760 dual SLI.. My max gpu usage in BF4 (or any game really) has only made it to 98% flucuates from 85-98% while on load. The power usage is 101%. Shouldn't I be getting 100% GPU usage all the time in BF4 since I have a 144hz monitor? My FPS seems to be on par with benchmarks. Just curious.
 
Solution
It's just having dips in FPS when the CPU gets overtasked. It's really hard for any of today's CPUs to keep up that high of FPS, especially in crowded online games. Pretty normal stuff.

I have..

Intel i7 4770
12gb DDR3 RAM
650W Seasonic PSU
Sound Blaster Z
ASUS/NVIDIA ROG MARS (2xGTX 760's in 1 card)
Asus Z87m-PLUS MoBo

Also, I was playing borderlands 2 and my usage in that is like 50-70% with a power usage of 80%.. This is normal? My temps are fine.. under 85C for both GPU cores and the ROG MARS is rated for a MAX of 125C.. Also.. I saw in the Nvidia control panel that there is the option for SLI to do "nvidia recommended" or "alternating frames 1" or "alternating frames 2". I have it on nvidia recommended. Is that what I should have it on?
