980 2x SLI Low Framerate

I am running 2x980's at 1080p resolution on Battlefield 4 and I'm getting a significantly lower framerate than to be expected. I am getting around 100-150, sometimes dipping down to 70 fps. It's not even at ultra. I have a 144Hz monitor and it's noticeable and distracting. 

 

Other specs

i7 4790k Stock Clock

Asus Maximus VII

16Gb Corsair Vengeance RAM

 

Thanks

What is your watt on your Power Supply?

 

That's not bad framerate...

1200 Watts. 

It's not a "Bad framerate" by any means it just kinda bugs me that I dropped so much on those cards and I'm getting the performance of a 980ti.

Maybe overclocking the cpu would help as this video shows a higher fps at ultra, try putting it up to ultra if your fps is around the same there is a bottleneck (possibly the cpu) so overclocking may help.

Thanks because I get maybe 20% less fps than in that video and it's noticeable. I'll try. Any recommendations on clock speed and voltage?

Try DSR and see if you get higher FPS as like I imagine it's being bottlenecked by CPU and upping the res would just make it more GPU heavy which may help. And you can try putting it at ultra.

You can use Riva Tuner server to see the usage in game and see if it's actually bottlecnecking.

And in Nvidia control panel is it set to maximum performance ?

I've tried DSR and the game did not like it. It tanked the FPS to around 40 FPS. Nvidia control panel is set to max.

Okay so one overclock later and it's at where it should be. Thanks for the help!

Remove your Nvidia drivers and reinstall an older/newer (different then your using) version.

Same..? Then Reinstall another set.. AND another if need be..

 

If it happens the third time in a row on different drivers you 'could' rule them out, but the drivers are usually the FIRST thing you should change (to rule them out) when ANY FPS issues arise.

 

IMO of course (not forcing you to do this)

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz
