Im getting really low GPU usage on any kind of game, but on benchmarks my GPU's are working just fine, while im playing the usage is usually around 20~30%.

- GTX TITAN SC sli
- i7 4960X
- RAMPAGE IV extreme
- 32gb corsair dominator platinum 2133mhz
- 1200w PSU

What could be causing it?

Reasons :

1. you didnt maxout your game
2. being Bottlenecked by CPU

thats pretty low FPS for such a monster system . & bottleneck would be weird because you have a great CPU .

just pull out 1 or two Graphics & make it run single GTX titan & see what are the results .

i run that game with my GTX 760 + i5 3470 ( maxedout ) ( almost over 100 FPS , im not kidin )

Single GTX titan can ROCK . so just try what i said . try it with single then go for dual & go for what you already have now & see if you notice any difference . if yes & if single or dual Titans work better than sell the third one :D , try not to OC your CPU . that cpu rocks at stock . no need to put it under Bad condition .

Ill use BF4 as an example.

I'm running the game on ultra, 1920x1080p and my fps is usually 60~80, but sometimes it drops to 50ish fps.

Sometimes my usage fluctuates, it has some spikes of 80~90%, but most of the time it wont go past 30% and my fps is terrible.

Do you have a framerate limit set with EVGA PrecisionX or Rivatuner or anything like that? Unlike normal limiters, some set a framerate "target" and not a "limit". So your card will run just hard enough to usually mostly hit the target.

Tried using a single GTX titan, still the same. Low usage and terrible fps.

Well single GPU is always better & safer to go with because every game will take advantage of its performance . but theres no such thing in SLI or Crossfire .

But man if you had the same thing with single card then just hold on till you fix this problem .

if i were you i would do a clean installation of windows 8.1 & Use most recent WHQL drivers & then i would turn off VSYNC & would try the games again . just to make sure it has nothing to do with your os & softwares .

i really dont believe that that monster rig can give you any trouble .
