[extradry]

Hey guys,

I currently use two gigabyte 7970 ghz edition gpus. I'm currently getting low frames in both BF3 and BF4, The gpu usage is also low at most of the times, how can i fix this?

My specs are as follow:

i7-3770k @ 4.4

z87 sabertooth

Any help would greatly be appreciated

Sounds like a heat problem to me.

Can't be, i've got a h100i

edit: by low i mean 60-70 frames, it can achieve 130-150 frames but dip really really low then go back up.

lol! An H100i is for a cpu.
Back to the original problem, you may have a heating problem.
Your cards arnt getting enough airflow. Or possibly your PSU
is choking your cards.

Its normal for crossfire configs to get drops, crossfire still is not fully ready.

But i've seen and heard of people who have somehow hit 100+fps with 2x 7970's while im hitting 40-60 fps

Do you have a crossfire ribbon? And are poth cards powered up with the connectors from the PSU?

How is Arma 3? in terms of optimized because i'm reaching 100 fps on ultra graphics and i heard it has problems with optimization, do you know?
