I wanted to throw this out there to any 970 or 980 owners. I've run through a few games and some of them seem to have issues with my 970s in SLI. The few games that I've run into with issues are ones I tend to play more, figures. I am hoping they are fixed with a future driver update, but wanted to get any input I could.

Titanfall: glitchy, never goes above 60FPS with Vsync off. Lighting elements flicker even through walls. Very annoying.

Planetside2: slightly stuttery, water flickers. (note: I did get it to run smoother by turning "smoothing" off and turning Vsync on)

Battlefield 3: The worst of all. The game glitches to the point it's not fun. It almost has the feeling of high ping or network lag. I will be running and it glitches 2 steps back.

So far I think those are the major games that seem to have issues. BioShock, Metro: Last Light, Ghost Recon Phantoms, and Team Fortress 2 are games I've tried so far and seem to run just fine. I am not sure if this is an SLI issue or just a 900 series card issue. I disabled SLI for the above games and has no effect. I also tried upgrade my mobo BIOS, but that has an issue and won't let me update to any newer version, so I mail ordered a new BIOS chip to try and solve that. Any comments are welcome or your experiences with games on 900 cards.

Titanfall is capped at 60 FPS. One 970 should be way more than enough for that game, though.

I haven't tried BF3 with my 970 yet, but I haven't seen this issue reported.
