Hello,

Recently my dad gave me his old drafting computer from 09, and its got a i7 950, reference GTX 465, and 6 gigs of kingston ram. The cpu is overclocked to 3.72.

So, I was playing ArmA 2 DayZ mod the other day and I noticed in afterburner that my gpu usage was only around 35-50%. Im almost 100% sure my cpu isn't bottlenecking my joke of a gpu. So I'm confused as to whether it is simply the game being uber cpu intensive or if it is something else.

Thanks.

Its not the bottleneck.Obviously you have good knowledge in this stuff so you figured it out. I think its just that your GPU is not powerful enough to smoothly run the game.
