    GTX 970 and low GPU util %

    I have a 3770k and GTX 970

    CPU runs at around 40% and I can't find any other bottleneck, yet the GPU doesn't exceed 70% and Far Cry is really laggy/jumpy when looking around. It actually jumps 30 or 40 degrees of movement when looking horizontally.

    Is this to be expected? I've just been playing Unity and that's fully using the GPU and is nice and smooth.

    Thanks

    Oh. Every 20 seconds or so there's a few completely black frames :\

    I have an EVGA GTX 970 FTW and I stutter a lot as well, no matter what drivers I use. GPU usage while moving around in game is horrid (20-60% mostly), but when I'm in menus other than the map, my usage sky rockets to almost 100% constant. Funny how that works eh?

    GTX 970 works fine

    My MSI GTX 970 works fine. GPU usage goes up to 99% on occasions but stays mostly around 80%. Performance is very good, full nvidia settings apart from motion blur. Had a problem with the GTX throttling back to 50% GPU usage, but that was resolved by better cooling in the case.

    I'd check to make your your GTX 970 fans were working properly and the overall case temps were normal.
