Hey, i've recently built a PC:

My spec:
-M5A99FX PRO R2.0
-FX 6350 black edition 3.9Ghz
-Crossfire r9 280 dc2 top
-8 gigs of 1600 ram
-WD 1tb hdd
-RM 850W

When playing AC4 (everything maxed out ) "with only 1 card " i used to get 48 fps while looking at the city, but as soon as i enable the crossfire tech, fps at the same place will be 32 or 33.
Not only the AC4, even at the other games ( such as planetside 2 ), there's no fps boost.

Also when i play with crossfire enabled, both card usages are about 40% and 50%.. is there anyway to improve their usage?

* Unparking my cpu cores sometimes cause 0 gpu usage in crossfire ( ULPS checked )

CrossFire (and SLI, but CrossFire gets it worse, usually) is usually a questionable improvement at best in many games. Dual-GPU support is typically the first thing to be left from quality testing when deadlines loom and gets patched in later if people complain enough. Sometimes you'll see good gains, but many times you'll see no improvement, or even a loss. This is just the nature of a relatively niche use-case.

You're right but nowadays games support crossfire good enough, or at least what benchmarks say.
