Hello,
I know that many questions are asked about why people are not getting their GPUs to 100 percent load and most of the time the answer seems to be a CPU bottleneck, but probably not in my case. I have got two GTX 1080s in SLI, an i7 4790k (not overclocked yet) and 16 GB RAM.
The problem is that my GPUs do not go to 100 load, but mostly stay at about 60 to 70, when I am getting 40 to 50 FPS (V-Sync on or off does not matter) I did a fresh install of my OS (was Windows 10, now 8.1), which made no difference. I then did a BIOS reset, which seems to have reduced my problem, but certainly did not solve it. (I do not think I had made changes in the BIOS regarding the CPU) I have even seen my CPU hit 100 load in Watch Dogs 2 for half a minute or so, I was hitting 58 to 60 FPS, but then CPU usage and FPS went down out of nowhere. (Has happened several times now) Has anybody a good hint for me, I am out of ideas...
