Quick question about GPU Load

[justin4pack]

I was monitoring my gpu temps while in BF3 and noticed that my GPU load while in bf3 was around 65-70. Does that mean my cpu is Bottle-necking it?

It was GPU-Z that i was using.

First, what are your specs?

Second, most likely yes.

Do you have vsync on?

Likely you are CPU bottlenecked or are running with Vsync on which caps your frame rate.

Vsync is off. Will be getting my i5 setup in the.next couple days so will know for sure then

CPU plays a big role in BF3, particularly on 64 player multiplayer servers. I gained 20% FPS going from an i7 920 @ 4.2 to a 3930K @ 4.6.

Your description certainly describes a CPU limitation, BF3 is intensive enough if you are not frame capping or using vsync it will use 100% of your GPU(s) all the time.
