GTX 980 SLI Problem - Ran out of options, need help [solved] Before describing my problem here is my pc specs; i5 3570k 4.5ghz 8GB DDR3 Ram Windows 7 64 Bit GTX 980 SLI 1000w Corsair PSU 2xSSDs 120GB OCZ Agility 3 For OS / Samsung EVO 250GB for Gaming 2xHDD 500GB & 1TB Seagates Monitor is 1080p atm - Although ordered ASUS ROG SWIFT probably gonna get it in a couple of days Guys I have some serious stutter issue with Battlefield 4. It is so bad, I cant call it microstutter or stutter at all, it is mega stutter.First I disabled vsync and was getting 150-200 FSP on Ultra with 4xMSAA but tearing was terrible. I enable vsync and my god, I was a GTX 690 user for last 2 years and I have never encountered such a stutter on SLI - It is stuttering so bad when turning to sides I dont really know what to call it, stutter or frameskipping I really dont know, it is 60 FPS which looks like 30 FPS when vsync is on. It is not rubberbanding or anything network related, I tried the game on both SP & MP, it happens on both. I have this extreme stutter only on BF4 atm. -Alien Isolation works butter smooth on 4k DSR, -Elite Dangerous Beta works perfect on 4K DSR, -Metro games works perfect -Witcher 2 Full Details with Ubersampling plays butter smooth -Watch Dogs struggles to stay at 60 FPS with even GTX 980 SLI but I dont give a ****, every living being knows how crap WD optimized. -Tried lotsa other games like Shadow of Mordor (plays butter smooth at 1440p DSR with 130+ fps) almost every game works perfectly fine BUT THIS BATTLEFIELD 4 IS GIVING ME HEADACHES. I am an FPS fan, and one of the reasons pouring so much money into this setup is to experience 144hz Gaming (or 120 with Gsync) on 1440p. But I am out of options atm with solving my stutter issue in this game. When I disable SLI everything works perfect again. -I tried clean install of drivers. (DDU) -I rolled back to previous drivers, though I dont have many driver options with those cards atm. -Tried to use FPS limiter instead of vsync -Tried to use AFR -Tried Max rendered frame settings -Checked SLI bridge -Only thing I didnt try so far is to switching to Win 8.1 64bit, I have the OS but I dont like the new OS and I dont want to switch unless it is the only option that will fix the problem %100 (which I dont believe %1 percent though) Any advice? Anythingp please, thanks for reading
I had similar issue for me with SLI, I used to fix/ workaround this by using this : Use this console command (must be done everytime you load BF4 unless you create a config file for it): gametime.maxvariablefps 60 Note: replace 60 with the desired hz. probably 120 or 144hz in your case. Imo its a game problem.
I had an issue where at random performance would drop, causing stutters, but alt+tabbing always fixed it. Strangely, I say strangely, disabling my iGPU completely fixed that issue.
Is there any good reason to not do that when you run a gaming rig with a real GPU in it? The first thing I'd do, because I wouldn't feel I need it, and again, to probably save some power / voltage the CPU takes during use, and thus heat to gain some reserves for overclocking. But maybe I'm completely off here, and sorry for the OT
I THANK YOU MATE, I really really appriciate your help, that solved the problem, unbelievable, everything is smooth again even with %200 scaling on ULTRA. Mate really really, thank you for 1000s times And thx to everyone else for trying to help as well
