CPU/GPU usage seems weird. is this normal?

garretts43 · Aug 6, 2014

when i play bf4, the average I get for GPU usage is around 45-55% though I have seen it go lower than 45 at random. I go higher in % with my GPU usage when its a less demanding area. My CPU stays at around 30-45% the entire time its under load. Does this sound right?

4960x cpu @ stock. 780ti sli. 4x4 16gb 2133mhz. asrock extreme9 x79 mobo. 1500w psu EVGA

I use MSI afterburner

Pretty much no game currently is going to be able to max out GPU usage unless you're running in 4k resolution or running a pile of monitors or something. The way GPUs work just doesn't really lend itself well to 100% utilization by games.

Okay, cool. I just wasn't sure if I was not getting the max out of the card, or if something was screwing up. What about the processor though, same thing applies?

You don't say what monitors/resolution you're running. As said - one monitor at 1080p won't stress 2 x 780Ti's at all.

I forgot, sorry. yeah, its a 1080p 120hz BENQ monitor. I have another monitor to, but thats a standard 60hz used for monitoring things

You paid a lot for 2 x 780ti's. You should get your money's worth from them with at least a 27in 1440p monitor.

Well, the asus 1440p 144hz monitor has yet to be released, so that is a possibility. But for the cpu, that load % is normal, right?

Yep. Even heavy gaming won't move the cpu much.

Alright, thanks for your help guys. Wish I could choose two solutions here but I have to pick one, sadly
