Whats up.
I'm not sure exactly whats going on with my game, hoping you guys could help. When I load in for the first map, I can play the entire map on ultra with 120 + fps, no drops. Second map, I get horrible fps drops and stutters. Even if I change settings to lowest possible, I still get fps drops. I'm not OCing my graphics. I'm running MSI afterburner to monitor GPU power, temp, usage, core clock, mem clock. My GPU usage and loads are hitting around 70-90% on both cards when FPS drops and my CPU is hitting around 80-90. I'm not exactly sure how to read these properly. Temps are between 60 and 70. I'm playing on an older monitor at 1680 x 1050 res. This couldn't be the cause could it? Or is it a CPU bottleneck? Also I'm running windows 7, Nvidia drivers are up to date - currently at 331.93. I was still having issues with the drivers before this. Yes, my SLI is enabled, AA is off, vertical sync is off, triple buffering is off, threaded optimization is on, everything is on high performance. I have attempted unparking cores with bitsum - is it possible I damaged my cpu by using this program? How can I tell? I also used the method to unpark cores where you search out the registry key and change the value. So far, nothing has helped the FPS drops and stutters. Any help at all would be appreciated.

No I haven't tried turning off core parking, but I dont understand how that would help anyways.

Def not temps, temps are OK. I have tried uninstalling drivers and reinstalling. Same with the game itself.

I haven't really loaded anything else up yet, I will try that tonight.

Could it be from SLI?
Maybe some SLI stuttering problems
