Hi guys, what should my CPU/GPU usage be during games? I wish to test it using Battlefield 4 multiplayer, as many people as possible. Also, what program should I use to monitor it? Thanks a lot.

Your usage is going to depend on which CPU/GPU you have and how old it is.

Good monitoring tools are:
-MSI Afterburner (for GPU usage And temperatures)
-CPUtemp (usage % and temperatur of each individual core.

Which CPU and gpu do you have?

I cant imagine that 780ti struggling too much, definitely handle any game without breaking a sweat.

But your i5 is gonna be working noticably harder, even with that higher clock speed.

That being said your CPU will probably be pushing 70-100% as the previous poster stated.
But I doubt you GPU will work nearly as hard.
3Gb memory on your video card gives you tons of breathing room and probably will be significantly less in usage. Unless your GPU picks up some of the load for your CPU.

Hard to give you exact numbers, but the software I listed before will be exactly what your looking for in those terms.
