nvidia gtx 780's possible low fps

ShadowGhost-007 · Jan 9, 2014

i feel that my 2 gtx 780's are preforming slow. on bf4 multiplier i get around 30 fps, its playable but there are lots of drops which makes me sad :c . Im also very new to overclocking so any help would be appreciated.

First, Is there throttling?
check you core clock during playing

muathmelhem35 :

im new to this sorry, how can u check?

muathmelhem35 · Jan 9, 2014

you can install Afterburner or evga precision X and seen Monitor tab
During playing press "ALT + tab" and see what clock is your gpu running

ok gona join a game now

ok i joined a game and got this http://gyazo.com/981574855cdd5046c50e0408c774e568 and got 30 - 40 fps

azzazel_99 · Jan 9, 2014

Im seeing only 50% usage on both gpus

ShadowGhost-007 · Jan 9, 2014

azzazel_99 :

is 50% bad?

azzazel_99 · Jan 9, 2014

Should be seeing more. Have you installed the latest drivers and bios for your mother board? What about your video cards? Did you completely uninstall old drivers from the previous video card?

ShadowGhost-007 · Jan 9, 2014

azzazel_99 :

ya i just installed latest bios and vid cards should be update with geforce experience
and i reformatted my hdd before re installing the cards that should have uninstalled the drivers right.
my old card was a gtx 660

azzazel_99 · Jan 9, 2014

Hmmmm what kinda psu are you using?

ShadowGhost-007 · Jan 9, 2014

azzazel_99 :

NZXT Hale 90 v2 1200W

azzazel_99 · Jan 9, 2014

Hmmmmm and surely you have sli enabled and all the "settings" set correctly. Im at a loss. Those cards will give you WAY more fps like closer to 100+ on ultra something is just clearly wrong.

ikr makes no scene and yes sli is on, its been a problem but i just recently found out what these cards are capable of and i don't understand why mine don't do that

ShadowGhost-007 · Jan 9, 2014

btw what r the correct settings just to make sure

mr91 · Jan 9, 2014

I suggest you sell them and get a 780 ti unless you want to learn about SLI and system configuration.

Calibrating your system takes technical expertise and SLI makes this even more complicated.

Single card solutions are usually less hassle & a 780 ti will give you enough power for bf4 at 1080p or 1440p

azzazel_99 · Jan 9, 2014

Once you get the hang of sli it isnt terrible but it will pretty much always be a hassle.

ShadowGhost-007 · Jan 9, 2014

mr91 :

how would one go about calibrating and i do really want to learn about this kinda stuff

azzazel_99 · Jan 9, 2014

Making sure all settings are identical and bios are identical and sli bridge is good and making sure both work good individually.

mr91 · Jan 10, 2014

You need to get a program like EVGA Precision x that was already recommended to you and as azzazel _99 mentioned make sure both work properly with out SLI.

With precision x you can monitor gpu usage, power consumption, gpu clock - go into monitoring and add to your osd.

You need to make all your other components are working properly, I suggest you stay away from overclocking until you get more comfortable.

Do research on the internet about systems similar to yours and pc gaming.

This will take you a long time to understand however it's very interesting. I suggest that people that are new Read websites like Tomshardware and pick the same components to avoid issues. For gaming Intel is better, if you can I suggest you sell your amd rig and build one based on a 4670k.
You have two very powerful graphics cards that will give you excellent performance if you configure them properly and get the right hardware to complement them.

"***** Make sure Vsync or adaptive Vsync is turned off because 30fps is ridicules*****"

The only logical explanation is that Vsync is enabled.

did not mean to select as solution but i used a custom sli cofig i found on the internet and it preforms much better but still have some drops and want to know why

azzazel_99 · Jan 10, 2014

Bf4 is known for fps drops. They are releasing another update in the next few days so we will see what that fixes.

k cool

cuz im running single player much better now and also is there a fps cap of 60 on mp?
