CPU bottleneck or insufficient crossfire support?

Oops, somehow I got in the wrong forum with this. You may delete or merge this mods, I'm reposting in the correct section.

Code:
I have:

i5-750
Windows 7
2x HD 6870s
8GB RAM

My framerates are dropping in heavy action in MP even with my settings down to DX9 very high. Some areas in SP have subpar FPS in Ultra on DX11.

I've tried setting Radeon Pro to FEAR and Alternate Frame Rendering, but that doesn't seem to be helping much either.

What I'm looking at is framerates very close to what I was getting with a single HD 6870, except this time it hardly matters what graphics level I choose. Normally I would assume this indicates a CPU bottleneck, but the i5-750 is quite fast for an old CPU and CrossfireX isn't the most reliable setup.

What do you guys think?

1. I need better crossfire tweaks...

or

2. ...the i5-750 is too slow and needs an OC?
