So on boxing day (black friday for canada) I bought myself a gtx 760. I was busy until today where I put it in my pc. I was benchmarking it and overclocking it when I see in MSI afterburner that my card only reached 98% when it was being benchmarked by 3dmark. Does anyone know why and how can I get it to 100%?

Also btw im using PCI-E 2.0 16x incase you were wondering

Ryzen 5 3600 stock | 2x16GB C13 3200MHz (AFR) | GTX 760 (Sold the VII)| ASUS Prime X570-P | 6TB WD Gold (128MB Cache, 2017)

Samsung 850 EVO 240 GB 

138 is a good number.

I don't recommend 100%...

Why dont you recommend 100%?

 

PCI-E 2.0 x16 will not bottleneck any modern graphics cards, and 98% is basically 100%, GPU usage is driver controlled IIRC.

So 98% is 100% then why doesen't say 100%? Whats IIRC? And if its 98% will i have a little little bit less preformance than 100%?

I mean, I have never seen 100% on any of my GPUs before. It's always like 99%. I wouldn't consider 98% bottle necking or a problem with your GPU...

You pretty much cant get it to 100%, never seen any of my graphics cards to date get to 100%

You're probably bottlenecked.  You should upgrade to X99 i7 5960X with atleast 3200MHz DDR4 or you won't be able to play any video games.

xD the only bottleneck I have is my ssd as boot drive.
