Hey there, I'm currently running into issues with my I3 4130 while running crossfire with two Sapphire vapor-x R9 270x's. CPU usage is generally at 98-100% when running games such as battlefront 3/ battlefield 4 whle GPU usage is averaging 70-80%. I'm experiencing low fps, screen tearing and flickering textures when crossfire is enabled. But the games run perfectly fine when only one card is used.
With just one GPU, the CPU generally sits at 60-70% so it's leading me to believe that the CPU may be a problem. If this is the case, are there any relatively powerful cpu's in the $200-300(AUS) range?
Cheers
