So I'm running Battlefield 4 with the current specs provided below, and somehow I'm only getting about 52-96fps on Ultra with everything maxed out. I was actually expecting more of a performance boost with SLI 770's (looking at 110+ fps perhaps), but maybe my CPU is bottlenecking these cards since the game is afterall CPU intensive? Vsync Disabled.

Monitor Resolution: ASUS 1080p 1920x1080 60hz
Motherboard: GIGABYTE 990FXA-UD3
Processor: AMD AM3+ FX-8350 4.0GHz (Not Overclocked)
Graphics Card: Nvidia Geforce GIGABYTE GTX 770 2GB x2 SLI
RAM: 12GB RipJaw 1600
Hard Drives:
-120GB Kingston HyperX SSD
-1TB HDD
Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
PSU: 1200w Raidmax Technology 80 Plus Gold

Current Nvidia Drivers: 331.65

PS: SLI Enabled in Nvidia Control Panel, VSync Disabled, Ultra EVERYTHING Maxed.

This is the full Battlefield 4 game and NOT the beta which was poorly optimized.

EDIT:
PCMark Fire EXTREME Scores SLI 770 -6620
PCMark Fire EXTREME Scores Single 770 -3302

So these Scores should confirm that both cards are working

Exactly which is the results that I'd like to expect with the hardware that I have. Maybe my stock clock speeds on the FX-8350 is holding me back? I do plan to overclock up to 5.0ghz soon as the new liquid cooling H100i comes in.

The one map which involves alot of swimming around and running through alleys (Flood Zone) tends to stress the fps alot and lower it around the low 40s.. And even running with a single gpu I still get the same result which is perhaps odd at best. When I do SLI these cards i only add to about 10 to 20 more fps that I ussually get if not at all at times.

edited after I re-read your post, try downloading the latest NVidia Drivers, I don't think your version has a good SLI profile for BF4, ned the 331.82 or 331.93 drivers, should help in SLI a bit

I may be mistaken, I may have 331.82 but I'll check again and give you feedback :]

ANTIALIASING DEFERRED : 4X MSAA

Hmmm.. I would've thought that 4x MSAA was the highest that AA would go for that game.
Then again, even with MSAA Maxed out it shouldn't hit SLI GTX 770's significantly when it comes to performance because afterall dual gpu's on a 1920x1080 resolution is overkill.

Having maxed out MSAA I believe this might be a VRAM limitation because I currently have 2gb 770s instead of 4gb. If anyone in this post can confirm this please let me know.

Oh god dude I know this thread is a few months old but did you check to make sure that your CPU cores weren't parked? I made the rookie mistake of not knowing they were and it was only utilizing like 4 of my cores on my 8350 so I had to go into REGEDIT and manually fix that which is pretty simple and literally right after that I was good to go. Hope this helped man!!!
