    Low GPU usage with SLI 970s in BF4

    Yes I did check that SLI was enabled. That's how I turned on one or two cards. Lastly Temps are golden. Around 50 C when gaming for the 970s. For the CPU it's around 45 C load while gaming.

    Starting to question my components - Very low FPS in Battlefield 4 with 290x Crossfire

    I had the same system, except I had SLI 970s. I think your i5 4690k might be the bottleneck, it was for me. I gained over 20 fps going from the i5 to the i7 4790k. On a side note, I got the achievement that my CPU was bottlenecking my GPU in Steam 3d Mark. I have the same problems too though...

    8350 or i7 4790k?

    Any sub $100 graphics card can max out at 1280X720 or 1440X900. If that's the case then I'd recommend the 8350 if you are gaming at that resolution. I recommend this to save money if you are gaming at these resolutions...

    8350 or i7 4790k?

    1. I want this system to be future proof for at least 4-5 years. Goes to the i7, beats 8350 in every benchmark. 8350 is good enough now, but i7 beats 8350 and will be a good processor for years to come. 2. I will be playing every latest upcoming title like AC4 etc. Toss up, depends more on...

    I know what these blue screen codes are when overclocking, but where are the settings on the MSI Z87 G45 gaming board?

    I know where Vcore is, Uncore voltage and VCCIN is but what are the rest. Here are the codes: I am overclocking the 4670k and keep getting 0x124 error code. I don't know where the QPI/VTT setting is on my MSI Z87-G45 motherboard. 0x101 = increase vcore 0x124 = increase/decrease QPI/VTT first...

    GTX 760 SLI vs. one GTX 780

    I rolled with the GTX 780 mainly because it was cheaper to run in the long term (power bills). Also there is tech that is newer and better just around the corner. I also didn't want to deal with the heat added from SLI. But if I want to deal with that stuff, I could get a second 780, have a boss...
