Guys, can you please educate me a little here please.
I've now got my rig totally stable, so been testing a few games today (my free ones from the gold ticket) Been playing Deux Ex, Sleeping Dogs and Saints Row 4. Each game I've put my eye candy levels as high as they can go, max everything. When I'm running Afterburner overlay, both my GPUs only seem to be working at silly low levels. Deux Ex only like 30% on each card. Saints Row 4 the same and Sleeping dogs around 50% on both. Now, it's not like I have a CPU bottleneck, all 4 cores have been below 50% usage on all those games the majority of the time. Is this just because I'm playing @ 1080p with Vsync at 60fps? Are the cards just not needed and not breaking any sweat at all even with extreme AA and AF etc?
Do I need a 1440p panel sooner rather than later to unleash these puppies?
