So, my specs:

AMD fx-8120 3.11 - 4.00 ghz
2x Nvidia GTX 560ti SLI
Motherboard: sabertooth 990fx
8gb ram 1333mhz
game installed on ssd kingston hyperx

Well, i expected to be able to play LoL on max settings at 60fps at all times but for some reason i can't. I have to put effect quality to High and shadows to medium, otherwise i have 30-40 fps in teamfights! Vsync is off and Uncapped, antialising is on.

Any suggestions?

MMO games can be very cpu bound.

Check with something like GPU-Z to see if the video card is working in the high 80-99% range when playing or lower. If lower, the cpu may be holding you back. If that is the case, you may need to look at things like draw distance or number of characters or quality to render the characters at.

It is almost hard to balance MMO games(without very high end systems and lots of overclocking) as some times they will max the video card(open areas without many players) and others they will hit the cpu(large scale battles. You will see gpu drop because the cpu can no longer feed the gpu fast enough).

If your gpu usage is very high, try turning down the AA settings to see if it helps.

You want to be using both gpu and cpu near max[within reason and as opposed to high gpu use low cpu use or high cpu use with low gpu use.], but you need to play with settings to find that balance.

So, i went ingame (ARAM mode, usually in aram mode i have low fps even with lowered settings), i put all settings at maximum without messing with the vsync. The gpu usage didn't go past 50%, Temperature didnt go past 38-40, fan speed at 20-40%.

Can it be something with my monitor?

That would generally indicate your cpu is holding back the video card.

This is very common on those kinds of games.

You may find some options to improve performance OR crank up some settings and get it to look better at the same speed.

Either way, this looks like a cpu bottleneck(and your cpu is not SLOW as such).

One other thing that may cause this would be the game not working too well with SLI. Does it get any better or worse with SLI off?

It is strange given the games rather modest requirements.

I just had another game, all settings maxed, at the beginning i had 100-110 fps, no big deal, After a while it started going down, 90,80,70 . I guessthe temperature went up? I went to check, but the temp was fine, 37-40.. I can't understand what the hell is going on. I don't think it's the SLI. A friend of mine thinks it's the monitor. He says the monitor is very old but the gfx cards are kinda new. Plus they are connected via vga cable cause monitor has no dvi port. I'll test the pc one my friend's monitor and i will update.

Can this be it?

Only graphics temp... cpu is around 30-50 constantly.

Difference is dvi is not compressed image. It's better in any ways

DVI is a digital format(but DVI cables can actually carry an analog signal on supported hardware) while VGA is analog. that is the only difference.

It would be kind of like saying your speakers are more quiet because they are connected with analog and not digital :)

Your temps look great. Frame rates to change while playing a game, but it is a result of how hard the section of a game is to render/draw.
