Hello,

I have felt for some time that my 770 has been underperforming. A few days ago I downloaded MSI Afterburner to check if it actually was. I loaded up Borderlands 2, Counter Strike: GO, and Battlefield 3, but my GPU usage seemed to stick around 50-60%, with a max of 70%. My i5 3470, on the other hand, runs at high usage with all cores the entire time.

Is my graphics card underperforming? It may be that I'm just imagining all this, but I'd really like to see if something is holding me back. I have the latest drivers for my 770 and Windows.

Here are my specs: http://speccy.piriform.com/results/rh0EZKkZtEJmFSDT72umQdq

Thank you for taking the time to consider my problem.

V-sync is not on in any of my games, and I have disabled it as a global setting in Nvidia control panel. I'll try reinstalling the Nvidia drivers, but I've tried it before and it didn't help.
