Hello all,
First off, my system:
i7-4820k processor @ 4.5GHz
GTX780 Ti SC x 2 in SLI
16GB RAM
1000W power supply
30" Monitor with native res of 2560x1600
So the issue I am having is an intermittent issue with my graphics cards performance. I have yet to go through any formal troubleshooting process, but I wanted to ask the question to see if anyone has heard of such an issue, or identify a likely cause. Here is what happens:
Playing any game with SLI active, sometimes everything is great and I get outstanding frame rates. For example, at 2560x1600 I can get around 125 fps in BF4 with everything maxed. I could play like this for hours without issue. Then for no apparent reason at all, my frame rate will tank and drop to an unrecoverable 35fps. Looking at MSI afterburner shows both cards have been reduced from around 95% utilization down to about 30% utilization. This can happen within the same playing session. Usually rebooting corrects the issue (temporarily) but sometimes it doesn't.
This issue just sort of randomly comes and goes. I usually run into it 3 or 4 times per week. Does anyone have any similar experiences, or are there any likely causes I should explore first? The only thing I've really done so far was change SLI bridges, but that didn't help any. I also have the most current drivers, and did rollback to make sure it wasn't driver related. No dice. The part that really confuses me is the random nature of this.
Thanks in advance for any help!
