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

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.
