So my FPS in morrowind is horrific. I know what youre thinking "How can you have poor FPS in morrowind?" the answer is extreme graphics and general mods. Normally I would say that they are just optimized poorly and I need to turn settings down, but then I checked CPU and GPU usage, both my GPU's are at 55% usage and one core on my CPU is at roughly 75% while core 2 is probobly at 10%. Why wont my computer utilize the nice toys I bought for it?

I see you have GTX 470 SLI...

I have Morrowind Overhaul installed. This is a very demanding package for Morrowind. First time I started, it was unplayable. Turned out the reason was I had to turn off SLI from Nvidia driverprofiles.

Just go to the Morrowind profile and select it using only one card, and you will be okay.

Haha, thanks. I gained 10FPS by underclocking and switching to a single GPU :p
