    Hey guys we (Sager owners) need some help proving the CPU is not bottlenecking the 7970m in BF3 to a writer at tomshardware:
    Update: Taking AMD To Task On Enduro : Xotic PC NP9150: Striking Back At Kepler With Radeon HD 7970M

    Could you guys record some CPU usage in a few full 64 player maps with your 7970m in fixed (enduro off) mode? If you don't want to record all I need to know is the just of it, like are you seeing good numbers (below 90% at all times) or bad numbers like 99%. Single player is known to run fine with Enduro so please only check multiplayer maps. Some multi maps runs fine while others don't with Enduro.
