I upgraded from a 570 classified to a 770 classified a few months ago. I noticed that the new card lags greatly when there is a great deal of smoke effects. Most notably in Battle Field 4. I gave my brother my old card and he uses the same settings that I do and does not have issues with smoke. This issue also occurs in Batman Arkam Origins and Company of Heroes 2. Other than the smoke issues the card has done much better than the 570. Why would this card lag horrible with only one specific effect and this not happening on my old card. Is it somehow broken?

It may be the game...if it is happening in certain game or games anyway. Also, you can make sure you are not using any beta drivers...or try rolling back the GPU drivers to before you started having that issue.I was able to fix BF4 by lowering effects down to High from Ultra, only drops to 60 fps instead of 35. Going to check the settings next time I play CoH2. Not sure why this card would lag so bad on those specific settings. After all of this I am going to go with it being the game settings. I will still check the card in another system when I get the chance. If I find anything else out I will post about it.

Honestly it makes me think your card may be defective if you are having to do all of these changes to try and get it to run right. I could not really tell you about raising the OV max limit...but I would definitely suggest RMAing it if still under warranty. It just does not make sense at it is.There was one last thing I was suggested to due in order to determine if it is the card or the system. I need to swap out the card with a different card and test it as well as test the card in another machine. I should be able to try that.

That may be doing it. You could also make sure the fan speed is set higher on the GPU so it will run cooler...which could help a bit. Otherwise I would recommend trying to reset the card to complete default and run the tests to see what you get and then try tweaking in Afterburner again to see what differences you can get while trying multiple settings.Raised the max temp limit to 95 and changed the fan settings to accommodate that. I was able to remove all limits that cause throttling. The last limit I have is the voltage limit. the VDDC of my card is 1.200V I can only raise this by 12mv until I hit the OV Max Limit. My last card which was a 570 classified had to be bumped from 1022 mv to 1088mv. Is there a way I can increase the voltage limit past the OV max limit? And if so would this harm my card?
EDIT: I under-clocked the card back to non overclock settings and did not notice any change
