I am running an overclocked Q9650 at 1800 FSB, ddr2 900 5-5-5-15, pushing 2 Sapphire toxic 6950s in crossfire running the 6970 bios. Running Dirt3 at 2560x1600, Ultra settings, 8X MSAA, VSync On I get
average av_fps_ms="16.089470" min_fps_ms="16.862392" av_fps="62.152451" min_fps="59.303566. CPU usage is around the 70-80% mark, 100%while loading. Am I am bottlenecked by the CPU or not? Interestingly running this at lower settings (1920x1080 no vsync I get 90% CPU usage).
Statistics
Average FPS: 62
MIN FPS: 59
CPU Usage: around 70-80%
System memory usage: 50%
GPU usage: 80-85%
Graphics Settings
Video Mode: 2560 x 1600 (60 Hz)
Ultra Settings
8X MXAA

I read a previous thread comparing the 4.05 ghz Q9650 with a similarly overclocked i2500k and the FPS were comparable across CPUs in other games.
