I have just purchased another GTX770 for SLi and install went well, I run heaven benchmark and got nearly double my single card score and both cards at 99% so all is good there.
But in BF3 in large city maps 64 man servers I notice some really bad stuttering / lagging and my fps counter drops in some parts to 60fps? I have the SLi status bar on and most of the time is about 3/4 full or more.
I am running an i5 2500k @ 4.3ghz I have been reading a fair bit about the CPU bottlenecking the GPU's in the past so I gather this is what happening here?
I thought I might get some slight drops in performance here and there on different maps but did not think it would be as bad as this.
In Nvidia control panel I have sli on and for the BF3 I have set max performance instead of dynamic, fastest refresh rate, render ahead limit set to game preferred.
Can an i5 be this bad?
