As the title says but some games work fine. now the games that are really bad are cod ghosts, bf4, bioshock infinite. these 3 games are so bad there unplayable. Ive tried single card and its the same. Ive tried lowest settings highest settings with no change. Overclocking, new installs on ssd and hdd. different drivers, core unparking, Ive tried everything really. my specs are.....

fx 6300 @ 4.7ghz
gtx 560 (nonti) sli
gigabyte GA-990XA-UD3
corsair cx750 psu
corsair vengeance 8gb
120gb ssd
Creative Sound Blaster Z

any help will be much appreciated.
 
thanks for the help guys, the temps are 70 max for the cards and the cpu never goes over 40, the mobo is about the same 40 ish. ill try the sound card shortly and let you know what happends.
 
Try using something like Display Driver Uninstaller-

Display Driver Uninstaller is a driver removal utility that can help you completely uninstall AMD/NVIDIA graphics card drivers and packages from
your system, without leaving leftovers behind (including registry keys, folders and files, driver store).

Then re-install latest Drivers and see what happens.

As gregster says could be sound card l had that trouble had to move it to another slot, also remember to disable onbroad sound in Bios
 
ok so just disabled soundcard and went on bf4 and bioshock infinite. both games are the same still lagging and stuttering (awfull). hi oldphart, yes ive also tried that and still use it , its a good program. im using widows 7 64bit and ive tried win8.1 but was the same. i thought it was because the vram is low 1gb but im getting the stuttering on low settings.
 
now im thinking sell the gtx 560s and go amd, i had this in past with gtx 260 and games like fall out new vegas. proberly not nvidia but im getting a bit sick of it now. what would match 560 sli? used on ebay are 7970 for a decent price, would one of these match them?
 
i didnt play these games on older card. games like crysis 3, last light, black flag, all work fine. just these 3 games , the fps are 60 + then drop in the 20s for like half a second every 5 ish seconds. its all at 1080p and temps are fine. just thought the 7970 with the higher vram would do the trick.

I can promise you BF4 will run superbly well if you get an AMD card and a 290. Lag and stutter will be a thing of the past.

Get a 290. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-219-XF&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1752
 
And other pathetic sales pitches lol :)
The games you mention are quite CPU sensitive I would suggest possibly try adding some Vcore just to rule that out.

Stutter and lag isn't something you get on SLi. Hasn't been for a few years. It's suddenly become a selling point for AMD cards though apparently since they finally got frame pacing working.

*throws up in mouth*

how much vram do your cards have and how much are they using in game? wondering if it's an issue with that seeing as the titles you list are current ones. Install gpu-z and record the sensor logs and see if you can spot anything irregular.

And maybe downclock your cpu a notch or bump the volts slightly just incase it's your cpu overclock.


When i saw the title mentioned SLI stutter I felt a great disturbance in the Force...as if millions of
nvidia fanboys suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear
something terrible has happened.
