So I'm using:
SLI MSI gaming GTX 980s
i5-4690k (OCd 4.4)
16gb 1866
Windows 7 64 bit
So, my GPU performance was awesome when I first built my PC, now I recently moved and went to set up my PC again and now my GPU performance is significantly lower! In Firestrike I used to get better than 98% of others. Now I get better than 34%. For Heaven I used to push upwards of a 2100 score and now my score is barely reaching 1000. My ingame fps has dropped significantly too. In The Witcher 3 I used to easily reach 60 fps on Ultra 1440p (with in game vsync enabled). In BF4 I used to push 120 fps 1440p (with ingame vsync disabled). Now in Witcher 3 I get roughly 27 fps and BF4 I get about 20-25 fps.
It seems that my CPU usage is way higher in game and benchmarks than my GPU usage. I never received a bottleneck problem before. But it clearly seems that my CPU is trying to do most of the work rather than my GPUs.
I've attempted many fixes, I have done a ton of Googling, posting to forums, posting to reddit to try to see if anyone has had the same issue. Can't seem to find a solution.
I have updated my MB bios, my chipset driver, properly uninstalled my GPU drivers then installed the latest. I have done every nvidia tweak that I can think of (high power, single monitor display, force rendering, etc.)
I have run multiple virus scans, driver cleans, process killers, and cleaners a bunch of times and nothing has showed up problematic.
I can upload my gpu-z sensor screenshots if necessary, everything seems fine when I check them over but I could be missing something.
I have made sure that my bios is set up to accept both GPUs and not my IGD.
I also pulled out 1 GPU and tried to run single card setup but I still received the same issue.
Provide any additional details you wish below.
This is literally ruining my gaming experience. I used to have the dopest rig (as in, it used to run perfect for me and what I wanted to do). I'm running out of options, I feel as if I have reset everything so trying to fix this that I'm essentially starting new but it's still problematic.
Do I have to flash my gpu bios to see if there's an issue there? Do I have to uninstall and reinstall Win 7 (If so, How?)? Could both of my GPUs crapped the bed overnight? I didn't bang break or shock them.
I'm minutes away from junking my pc and buying an xbox!!!!! (Just kidding but maybe)
