Hey guys, So when I went to play Far Cry 3 a few days ago at the title screen I got over 300 fps maxed out, And in game I got 90 fps stable however I was in windowed mode. So as soon as I switch to fullscreen my fps locks out at 30? I refuse to turn down anything because I have 2 gtx 770's in sli and I spent over 2 grand on this computer theres no way Im turning the settings down. Im wondering if anybody has a fix? Please guys?

I'm not too sure, but generally some games just don't really sit well with SLI, and on fullscreen this game might be just non-optimized for it.

You don't mention what resolution you are playing at. It could be a memory dependence issue. Far Cry 3 is a demanding game. I found my 780 SC runs the game better than my 660SC SLI set did. Let me know your res and I will run some tests today. I assume all drivers etc. are up to date. Also, you don't necessarily need to turn AA up to get the best image depending on your res. I would try shutting that off first.
