Does it work?

hello does anyone know why MW3 only uses about 40% of my gpu when every other game inc BF3 uses 99%??

plus i can only get about 45 fps when its not using the full power of the card?

also im running the xfx hd6870 along with the phenom 2 x4 955 and 4gb ram

Not every game uses resources the same. It sounds to me like your GPU is the bottleneck in BF3, and your CPU is the bottleneck in MW3. Since you have a 955 you should try overclocking it and see if more of your GPU is used and if you get a better FPS.

it cant be bottleneck in bf3 as it uses 99% gpu power all the time in that game its just MW3 that it only uses about 40%. MW3 is the only game that doesnt use most of the power also my cpu is oc to 3.9ghz prime95 stable
