Hey guys, i was wondering if it was normal to have 50 to 60% gpu usage between the two cards with a demanding game such as crysis 2. I get a pretty much constant 62 fps ultra 1080p.
I just don't know if that's normal or a driver issue.

Thanks for reading!

What's the rest of your system? You could have something else creating a bottleneck for the GPU's.

Constant 62 fps? You have Vertical Sync on which limits framerate to your monitor's refresh rate (60hz). This is good on a 60hz monitor, it creates a smoother image although at the cost of a little lag.

I actually don't have v-synch on. It just wont go past 62 fps.

It's silky smooth, i just found it odd that it only had sometimes only 40% gpu usage.

Either you have Vsync on without knowing it or there's a framerate limiter in place. The latter will happen only with some in-game console command or by forcing it via a RadeonPro profile.

Did you check both in-game settings and CCC?
