SLI???? BF4 NOT smooth

Nickolp1974 · 18 Aug 2014 at 21:02

still having problems at getting this game to run smooth, both cards are running stock bios at stock settings.
On latest drivers.
CPU @4.6
Tried setting pre rendered frames to 1

only thing i have not tried is running cards individually, been on one card for 95% of my gamimng life and this is doing my nut in!! :mad:

Its like internet lag/stutter and running out of vram all at the same time and mainly happens when things get a bit intense, and i ain't taking up sniping just yet!!

if it helps:~

Heh, same for me bud on BF4 on DX or Mantle. Suggest it's a game issue. (shocker)

If you were playing just now mate, it's been like this for me all evening. LtMatt reporting the same with xfire. Up until today it has been great for me on stock sli 780's and a slower cpu than yours. Heres a benchmark i ran earlier, (64 player tdm round).

Frames, Time (ms), Min, Max, Avg
58363, 600000, 54, 212, 97.272

Last week on a more demanding cq large 64 player round my minimums were in the 90's.

better try 1 card then and clock the nuts off it

LtMatt · 18 Aug 2014 at 21:10

I can confirm one card worked very well for me. Two to three is dire at the moment.

Single cards spot on. It won't be vram that's causing the stutter.

shankly1985 · 18 Aug 2014 at 21:12

I have had issue with stutter since last dlc was released.

setter · 18 Aug 2014 at 21:13

Certainly not vram either, max ive seen used is 2040mb.

Gregster · 18 Aug 2014 at 21:22

Run just the 1 card Nick. I have been for ages and never notice any slow downs and runs buttery smooth.

James J · 18 Aug 2014 at 21:23

Not noticed a stutter here with 2x EVGA 780 ti superclocks, but I'm using gsync so it'll be masked anyway. Want me to try with it disabled?

ps, how do I bring that graph thing up guys?

Nickolp1974 · 18 Aug 2014 at 21:26

Would make sense with the dlc as thats when i went to 2 cards, also no where near vram limit.
Thx for putting my mind at ease guys

Lol, i had to move to two cards to get it to run well. Now it seems that going back to one is the answer. Tbh i think someone at DICE/EA just doesnt want me playing.

Perfoverlay.drawgraph true (in console)

Ahhhh that sucks bud. No idea what is going on but so many having issues. Good ol Dice.

setter · 18 Aug 2014 at 21:32

This was how my perf graph looked last week, this is on test range but normal games are the same.

Today it looks like the ecg readout of someone on a very powerful amphetamine.

Wasn't this the case not long ago as well? I remember that I brought up that I wasn't having any problems with SLI on this game. I'm still not, played earlier on and was fine.
