I have had a 6990 for almost 3 years now and just now have read that my 1100t is most likely bottlenecking it. I have read that the bulldozers in general bottleneck crossfire/sli setups which my card is obviously crossfire. I have noticed that in every game that I own right now I have tested (dead space 3, bf4, grid 2, assassins creed black flag) my gpu usage will not go above roughly 70% on both gpus. However, when I run furmark they are both at 99% always. My three options right now are 1. Get a 4770k and an intel board. 2. Replace my 6990 with a 290x with water block. 3. Get the new generation of amd CPU which would be either a 8320 or 8350 I believe. The last option will definitely be the cheapest but I'm just wondering if that would be the best route to take. My framerates in bf4 are unacceptable (30-120 fps). That is the main reason I want to upgrade my CPU. If anybody has a suggestion please help because I'm going to make my choice this weekend. Thanks
