So iv had my gtx 770 for a little while and I feel like its not worth the 400 I paid for it. I bought it at best buy (the NVidia version only sold there) and iv been just not impressed. I play ate 1280x1024 resolution and even on metro 2033 everything max besides DOF I get fps drops to 35 ish. I have a stock 6300 cpu. I get drops on witcher 2 and skyrim to about the same fps. I mean the max fps is well over 100 I most cases. And my gpu usage goes to 100% usage. The gpu temps are 30c idle and 80c max. When the card smells a bit when it gets to 80c. Dunno if its because its new. and I havnt ran it a whole lot. Anyone have any input cuz I can still return it to best buy.

I would try playing at a higher resolution. The CPU has to be bottle-necking that system.
What % usage is your processor at while playing these games?

What % usage is your graphics card at while playing these games?

What are the rest of your system specfications?

At 1280x1024 the graphics card is NOT the bottleneck. It shouldn't be the processor either.. but I am leaning more towards the processor due to the type of games that you play.
