Ltmatt, does that look right to you below? That is my GPU Usage when playing BF4 in Crossfire?
What settings are you using in game and what res are you playing at? How is performance?
Try unparking your cpu cores.

EDIT
Just did another quick run on a different map and a similar story. Ran at stock this time.

I'm at 1440P, ultra preset with x4AA. I think you might be a bit cpu bottlenecked at 1080P. Try running at the highest settings and overclocking your cpu as much as possible.
Thats the same as Im running. So your running the same i7 but just 200mhz more?

Good man, glad to hear it working better. Core parking made little difference for me, but for some it seems to help. Doubt your gpu's are getting much of a work out at 1080P. Once Mantle hits and is more stable you should see a big boost.
So if thats the case, would you say this score for Firestrike Extreme is about right?

Yes
Here is two of my 290Xs running the same clocks
I have turned off a couple of cores on my 4930k and run the ram @1600mhz to even up the CPU performance.

Excellent many thanks for that. So im probably worrying about nothing. LtMatt is probably right that at 1080p the 290x are not needing to break a sweat. So in that case, lets get a new monitor
Any recommendations.

I don't know much about monitors but some of the other guys know loads.
If you post a pic of your 290Xs in the link below I can put you on the Roll of Honour.

As LtMatt says the 290Xs don't break a sweat @1080p.

Any decent IPS 27"-30" 1440P-1600P panel would be ideal.

Hows the new PSU, ok?
Hi, yes its been superb. No issues whatsoever. One drawback is the cables are not long enough for the Corsair 650 cable management. So When you put the cables out the back they won't reach to top of the case and back in . Other than that its terrific. And yours?
Caporegime
Is that for the cpu plug? Because i found that as well. I had to take my h100i out of my 600T before the wire would just stretch enough to fit. Other than that its a lovely psu.
Yes, In the end I couldn't be bothered and just ran everything in the case. Looking at 1440p monitors now. Never ending expense
Managed to bag a EVGA 1300watt G2 at a great price elsewhere. Turned up today so will be swapping this beast Superflower PSU out, would have kept it if I could have got the cables to reach!
Will be on the MM shortly
