BF4 CPU Usage (3770K)

That's after a 15 minute TDM blast. I only really play 16-24 man and I hold 90-120 FPS ultra w/ FXAA off. Excellent game imo!

Something not right there! Curiously your task manager is only reporting 1,600MHz :p

Here's my task manager http://i.imgur.com/5ecIedN.png

do I need virtualisation disabled, or does it not matter? Is there a reason mine isn't showing Hyper-V Support?

(Speed is looking like 5.98GHz, no idea why)

EDIT: It appears disabling Virtualisation in the BIOS makes it appear. Is it best to have Virtu enabled or disabled?

Just ordered a 3770k which should hopefully last me another couple of years :cool:... I also decided to throw in one of those 'Sapphire Radeon R9 280X Vapor-X OC' cards while i was at it :D. I was going to get the Asus DirectCUII TOP version, but then decided the extra £37 wasn't worth it for for a minimal increase in memory speed (cores are clocked the same on both cards).

Anyway, i've not had a Sapphire card for quite some time and i remember them being pretty decent several years ago. I'm hoping they're still a good quality brand!

EDIT: Woah! Why does sapphire have the PSU requirement as 750W for the 280X Vapor-X?? My PSU is a gold certified 600W 'Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold' (modular)... I hope it'll cope ok :eek:. AMD recommend at least a 500W PSU for a 7970 GHz card and i thought the 280X was basically a tweaked 7970?

I'm running two 7950s off of a 750W supply, so I reckon you'll be okay.
