Low GPU usage, low FPS

Still using 1.1, by the way. Don't have the money to upgrade to 1.2. Bleh.

...so anyway, my GPU usage for all three of my cards is never any higher than 13% when using T3D. On any populated map, my FPS is consistently under 20... which doesn't even make sense. I've got an i7-2600K overclocked to 5 Ghz, and three GTX580's overclocked to 900 on the core. Why is my GPU usage so low?

I'm 16, and I love doing game art. I prefer art to anything else, I don't have the patience for most coding, and I haven't bothered to learn much of 3DsX. I hope to have gamedev of some sort as a career in the future..
