GTX970 Poor performance

[Jp_182]

Hello,
i Just bought a new graphic card: Gtx 970 gigabyte g1 gaming windforce.

And i can't use more than 50-60% of my GPU.

that's my pc:
CPU - FX 8120- black edition
Motherboard gigabyte GA-970A-UD3 rev. 3.0
memory: Corsair vengenace 8GB 1600mhz
Power supply 600W seventeam

I already updated my bios to the last version. Reinstalled windows and the drivers several times. I am currently using the last version of the nvidia driver.

The only problem i can see is the CPU, maybe bottlenecking the GPU. But since i am not sure about this,I would like to get some information. i REALLY WOULD LOVE TO USE MY GPU FULL POTENTIAL.
Here's a screen with my cpu, and gpu usage.
cpu temperature doesn't even reach 45ºc
gpu doesn't reach 65ºc

I think you are right, the fx8120 ( Zambezi ) does bottleneck the gtx970 in the batman. You can try oc the fx8120 if you don't oc yet, remember buy a cooler like hyper 212 evo, I add one review, check oc cpu section, like they said oc the cpu for AMD users. http://www.techspot.com/review/733-batman-arkham-origins-benchmarks/page5.html because your MB has enough power phase ( 8+2), which is good for oc the cpu.

Also can you check your PSU spec?

Already tried. Running the cpu on 4.0 instead of 3.1, and i actually lose some fps.
