hey everyone, i recently installed another 780 superclocked edition with the acx cooler and am running it in sli with another card of the same, i just wanted to know what the gpu usage should be while playing games like bf3 etc.., mine never seem to get up past 50-60% on both cards while gaming. also my fps will fluctuate quite abit (200 down to 90 then back up to 150 then to 200 etc..) is this normal?

    Sounds pretty normal to me.  What resolution are you playing at and what driver are you using?

    With all that graphics horsepower and just play on low?  Seems kind of silly, but to each their own I guess...assuming you have only a 60Hz refresh on your monitor, you know anything above 60 FPS is not any benefit, right?

    i play on low because i dont see any real discernable difference between low and ultra, i play at 120hz on 3 monitors in surround. also a clean install of the latest driver seemed to have helped my issue, SURROUND IS AWESOME

    Cool, yes 120Hz makes more sense...just assume you were running at 60.  Glad you figured it out.
