I have a X850pro clock at 610/580 and you know what I don't graal uses my video card!!! graal used the same amount of processors as it did before on graal but when I play games (like gameA and gameB who used to use like 50-70 percent of cpu now.... with videocard use like 0-10 percent)

all drivers are uptodate and videocard is 24hour stable

Wow you don't make any sense at all.

But I'm guessing you're worried that Graal isn't using much of your video card? Graal isn't meant to use 100% of your GPU...same reason why your video card isn't overheating when you're on your desktop. Your video card is not always at 100%.

thats just it only uses 0% of my video card. grall then uses like 40 percent of my processor.

Uh, how do you know it uses 0% of your video card?

You can have the best graphic card in the world, the CPU and the GFX card work together. It's normal for it to be around 30-40% I believe, mine is usually around there on average when running Graal.

Why would overclocking your graphics card reduce Graal's CPU usage?!

You make no sense. Graal probably isn't using even 15% of your graphics cards processing power or memory (How are you measuring this? By the sounds of it you're looking at your CPU usage in task manager)

funny thing is that starcraft doen't use my processor O.o . I know that graal doesn't use my card because I kept track of how much graal uses and when I installed the card it was still the same percent. But for other games It help alot. either way I just install an opty 165 (CCBBE)on my new dfi board today so hoping Windows comes today so I can get started on OCing it.

I think I might have messed up my video card's bio when I went in to unlock the extra 4 pipes with a hex program. I need to flash back to old bios because the 4 pipes are die locked

You do realize that almost all games these days use the CPU? I'm pretty sure starcraft uses your CPU as well.

plz explain how you are monitoring the usage of your videocards GPU and RAM.

lol did I say starcraft X.x that uses 100 percent of 1 core on my system. I guess im just mad that spent 140 dallors on this card to find out that it didn't really took the pressure off my cpu. Then again I was pairing up a 30 processor with a 140 dallor gpu so I knew it would not work out to well.
