hi guys, just been playing BF4 and i think my GPu is bottlenecking my CPU

FX-6300 @ 4.6
XFX 7950 @ stock (900/1375)

Temps after 3 hours of play are: CPU: 45c, GPU 66c

Task manager is saying 60-80% CPU usage, and GPU is @ 99%

can someone confirm that i am getting bottleneck on my CPU ?

do i need to clock my card back up ?

i get decent FPS at stock hence why i dropped it backed down.


any help would be good :)

thanks
 
Well, i have clocked it to 1100/1500.

and now my cpu is 70-90%, and my GPu is 80% ish, so i dunno what its doing now :(

but the good thing is, since iv clocked my gpu, it only tops out at 55c :/, which is strange because @ stock it was 66c lol

wierd!

thanks for the tips/help :)
