Hello folks This will be my first post at guru3d, but i have in many years been watching on the sideline The issue is that my two AMD 7850 cards are not at optimal usage, shows ASUS GPU Tweak. Sometimes as low as 50%! While my CPU seems to be around 85-98 or so in usage in eg. Battlefield 3 My specs are: AMD Phenom II x4 955 @ 4ghz Gigabyte ga990fxa d3 4 gig Kingston @1600mhz Thermaltake 530w 80+ I have had many suggestions and i'm almost confident that it's the CPU but i would rather hear you guys out before investing in a new CPU. THANKS!
If v-sync is off, then yes, you are definitely cpu limited. However, if v-sync is on and you are maintaining 60 fps, things are working exactly as they should.
I just noticed your psu and I'd say you're pushing that thing extremely hard. Personally, I like much more headroom. Just something to consider...
I think those video cards are being bottleneck by that cpu, but if everything is playable, dont worry about it, I would be more concerned with that psu tbh
