My specs are in my signature, except I have the 8350 OC'd to 4.6 @ 1.4v now...
Basically, in games like Sleeping Dogs, Crysis 2, parts of Crysis 3, and BF3/BF4 multiplayer, I am getting low gpu usage, and I have no clue why.
-all drivers installed and updated to 14.4 chipsets and graphics
-latest MOBO chipset and BIOS
-clean PC, no viruses, and all driver clean installed with DDU
I get 50-60% in Crysis 2, and my FPS goes from 80 or so to 40's... CPU usage about 50%
BF4 Multiplayer (my favorite game) drops from 94-99% down to 60-85% in some maps (hainan, paracel storm, etc.) and My FPS drops from 70-110fps all ultra down to 40fps... Whether its low or ultra settings :/ and on low settings, I only use 30% GPU...
It seems the lower my gpu usage, the lower my fps, so I have no idea why my usage is dropping. it obviously needs more GPU power. My CPU usage is the same no matter what the gpu usage is...
except in Sleeping dogsm where Even on high settings, I run 50% gpu usage, and only 45-70fps, 40-65 on extreme...
What is going on? My CPU shouldn't be a bottleneck, and OCing didn't help either (loving the Cooler master Hyper 212 Evo btw, gets the job done for cheap)
