Hi, I'm having some problems with my SLi config.
I've got:
evga 680i mobo
C2D x6800
Sli 8800 gtx
4gb RAM
Vista x64 ultimate
Samsung 244t 24" monitor
When i play FEAR, FPS is horrible, it's like 15 when i'm in a firefight, and like 22-24 idle. Resolution is 1920x1200, all settings max except soft shadows and the other one that gives you the warning that it's a high performance option when you turn it on. Vsync is on.
Now i realize that it's maxe settings and all, and a high resolution, but come on, 20fps? I have had it to 60 FPS before, but it seems like it comes and goes, sometimes i can just run arround for 20 seconds and the FPS will sudenly doubly and then be stable at 60 till i load a map or die. And sometimes it never goes up and just stays at 20ish.
WoW is kinda the same way. When i'm idle it's 60 fps, but when i move the camera arround it bottlenecks kinda bad down to about 40ish, and when i'm flying in some areas, like shattrath city, it bottlenecks a lot. All settings are max on wow, except multisampling, which is at 1x. vsync enabled, same resolution as fear.
I've tried different drivers and none seem to work any better than the other. Uh, sli is enabled according to nvidia control panel, and it shows 2 8800gtx's in device manager.
Any help is appreciated thanks.
I've narrowed the FPS problem in FEAR due to shadows. For some reason, i can have every single thing maxed out and on and get 60 fps, but the second i enable shadows, 20fps. It sucks because shadows add so much to the game, anyone know what this is about?
Still havent figured out wow though.
