Getting more consistent performance in games.

Ethan_NLHW · October 19, 2017

I have been running two 1080tis in SLI for the last several months. I haven't done much tweaking in the way of custom profiles through NVIDIA Inspector, basically just going with the settings in NVIDIA Control Panel. Across two completely different setups (Z270 and a 7700K, and X399 with a 1950X) and two different sets of cards (EVGA 1080ti FTW3s and Asus Strix 1080tis) I see inconsistent frametimes that lead to hitches and stutter. Sometimes I see hitches that happen for a half a second where the game will stop and then continue. Any tips on what I could do to remedy this? I'm using a 144Hz panel with G-Sync running at 1440p and I see people with similar setups do much better FPS wise. Ghost Recon Wildlands, Watch Dogs 2, Witcher 3, Assassin's Creed Syndicate and several other games seem to average out at around 70FPS on Ultra settings without all of the extra bells and whistles. I feel like with two 1080tis I should be doing better.
