770 SLI Help

I just got my SLI setup.

 

I did some benchmarking, and these are my results.

 

On BF4 I get this:

 

Without SLI:

Min, Max, Avg
89, 126, 113.357
 
With SLI:
Min, Max, Avg
86, 232, 132.382
 
And on BF3 I get this:
 
Without SLI:
Min, Max, Avg
77, 108, 92.058
 
With SLI:
Min, Max, Avg
141, 218, 171.045
 
 
How is it possible that on BF3 SLI works fine and gives me huge improvements, 
but on BF4, it's not really that special? I know my max fps is way higher, but on avg it doesn't really matter...
 
Anyone know how I can make it run better on SLI?
 
I heard some people said I need to OC my CPU,
but I only got an Cooler Master 212 Evo, and now my CPU is at 3.9GHz 30C at idle, and 65/67C under load (prime95) (at 1.165v).
So I don't know if I can be safe OC'ing it to around 4.2/4.3... (I don't know that much about OC'ing)
 
I hope anyone can help me out with this!

Use GPU-Z to monitor your GPU loads during gameplay in SLI on BF4 and share your results. We'll probably need some more info. Have you updated your drivers to the latest version as well?

I've updated them, alltough I heard that some people said the performance are worse with the new driver...

 

I'll try the GPU-Z tomorrow, as I need to go in a bit.

It's called scaling. It varies so expect that.

SLI works with the game but it needs to be optimized properly, your minimum FPS is still above 80 so I don't see the issue

That was true of the first driver that Nvidia released for the game... there have been about 4 new drivers since then. I suggest upgrading to 322.21.
