Hi, Ive run a bunch of benchmark on tomb raider with different settings,

Ultimate preset: 120 avg fps 99% gpu usage
Ultra preset: 189 avg fps 99 % gpu usage
High preset: 258 avg fps 99% gpu usage
Low preset: 329 avg fps 50 % gpu usage

Im running 2 7970s with a i5 2500k @ 4.5, I was wondering if this was a bottleneck or this is normal that the gpu usage is lower when lowering the settings to the minimum or what is the right way to determine a cpu bottleneck

Hi thanks for your reply, Ive run 2 test, 1 at low preset and the other at high, at low I was at 100% cpu usage all way and 50-60 gpu and at high 99% gpu and 80-95 cpu usage, so it means there is a bottleneck ?

EDIT: ive run a test without crossfire, the single gpu was 99% and cpu 80 so it means that theres no bottleneck for 1 7970 with the i5 2500k @ 4.5 but with 2, there is actually a bottleneck right ?

I tried to play in game at low settings with 1 gpu, 50 % gpu and 80 cpu, does it mean there is also a bottlenekc with 1 card or.. this is the game or the card dont need the 99% usage to run at low settings I dont really understand, wanna make sure to not upgrade my motherboard to get a new cpu for nothing

When running crossfire, on low settings, your GPU is hitting 50-60 and cpu 99, that is a cpu bottleneck. On high, with 80-90% CPU,99%GPU is just the GPU reaching its limits.

playing on low settings when the GPU is @ 50% and 80% CPU, do you have VSync on? That would cause the low GPU usage.
