not getting 100% GPU usage in company of heroes with my 6990

[beasty6]

hey guys,

so ive been playing company of heroes a lot recently and noticed that on my OSD its saying that only 18% of my GPU's are being used and i struggle to hold 60FPS at 1080p!

btw im running the blitzkreig mod with HQ textures, could it be a VRAM issue? surely is dose not use 4GB?

is there a way to fix this? as it gets worse when theirs rockets and explosions all over my screen!

cheers

its the first company of heroes, sorry yes i forgot 2GB (card is described at 4GB)

ahh ok, im looking at upgrading to a 4770k and Z87 board, will this resolve my issue and i will probably buy a new GPU when AMD release them

so how can i resolve my bottlenecking issue out?

my system spec:
i5 760@4ghz
msi p55 gd80
xms3 2x4GB 1600MHZ
HD 6990@900/1375
OCZ 120GB VERTEX 2E SSD

ahh i see,

ok ill be upgrading soon anyway, ill just carry on for now then

cheers guys

its the fact that my 6990 should be pushing out 60FPS on this game easily

and it dips into mid 20's and i get spikes in the fps while playing the game.... sooo annoying!
