Wrong graphics card sent

still the same problem highest gpu usage on both cards is 38%, fresh install of windows 7, 13.5 beta2, then with caps then followed your 1-12 steps to 13.6 with caps still very very low usage. gona try it with a benchmark or another game

Are you using vsync or an fps limiter?
 
1080p 120hz, all settings low apart from mesh(ultra) basicaly want to keep a constant 121fps.. a single 7970 does a good job with those settings but does drop in to 80s.. thats why i wanted another card

:D

Use Ultra settings if you want to stress two 7970's at such a low res. You will never get high gpu usage with such cards, at such a low res and with the low detail preset.
 
i'm not bothered about gpu usage.. its the fps i get more stable and lower minimum fps with 1 7970!

2 x 7970 should be able to keep a constant 121fps at those settings i've seen video on youtube fully maxed settings with pretty much 120 fps constant

Yeah somethings wrong there mate i think. Not sure what else to suggest sorry. I'm running crossfire at 1440p Ultra preset and getting bf3 below 70fps is almost impossble. Quite often its up at 100fps or higher and im running stock pretty much.
 
seems to be driver related, newer drivers are giving very(30%) low gpu usage 12.10s giving 55% on each card but feels awful ingame.. back to 13.5 beta2 for now
