I play CRYSIS 2 at extreme setting with
16AF and 32AA in Nvidia control panel
I get 120fps average
WHY MY CPU USAGE WAS AT 35% while playing and
my GPU USAGE WAS at 98% both cards is this mean i got to much CPU and not bottleneck????

i7 [email protected]
GTX 580 SLI

What? Your usage seems normal to me, not too sure what you are asking.

GPU bottleneck.

GPU are not fast enough to cause the CPU work on full load.

In other words, you're fine, nothing to worry about. You want low CPU and high GPU usage all the time.

Because games generally use GPU more than CPU?
is THERE A REASON you TALK like THIS?

Seriously though...
Your CPU will never go to 100% during gaming, or even close, and if it does the game you are running is probably bugging out. You don't want high CPU usage.

this is the righ answer i was looking for thank
If a game uses more GPU than CPU, then it must be properly optimized.

You want that. It's best to have your GPU be at 99% usage because that tells you your CPU is not lagging behind and can deliver info to the GPU.

If you have 70% or below GPU usage then there's a problem.

thats why ask because i dont know, thank i see that you have alot of experience
Your detail settings are very high. The GPU is the "bottleneck" with those settings. If you lower your resolution and detail settings to the minimum, the CPU becomes the "bottleneck."
turn on radial blur and motion blur and see if that would increase cpu usage lol. Plus dude you got a i7 @ 4.5ghz that is heller fast there bro!

i dont think GPU is bottleneck with this two beast cards , i run this game at 125 fps with those setting
it probably can go to 150fps with those setting, i set it up to 120fps max limit in the advanced graphics option..

Because you're not using an AMD processor
