i have the msi gtx 970 gaming edition and even when i overclock it un afterburner, it will not reach its full potential unless the gaming app is on and OC is selected. Its not terribly annoying, but its close. I dont know why it cant just start on windows startup so you didnt have to click it...

cpu: fx 6300 @ 4.8 cooled with h80i Gpu: hd 7870 2gb AND Msi gtx 970 (was happening with both cards. cant figure it out) mobo: gigabyte ga-990fxa-ud3 samsung 840 evo cx600m

Can someone please tell me why a graphics card isnt running at 100% load in some gaming benchmarks im running. The cpu doesnt seem to be running anywhere near 100% yet the gpu doesnt want to go to 100. Please help. i am going crazy.

I just built my system and im pretty sure ive got an overclock of 5.0 going on. Will my fx6300 at 5.0 bottleneck my msi gtx970? I just ordered my gpu and i want to make sure i can get the most out of it.
