Nvidia control panel not saving my setting! Help!

[Rocky]

Hey! my pc driving me crazy right now I get a new gtx 780, so I wanted to get a better fps in BF4 on 1080p but I have 144hz monitor now here is my problem:

 

I did a clean wipe for the old drivers with display driver uninstaller, installed the latest driver and activated SLI in the NVidia CTP.

 

so I started the game and im getting a horrible fps, (better with one gtx 780) THE cpu, gpu Graphs (in game) is jumping around like a monkey in SLI and the fps is unstable and stutter all over the place, and I start thinking to send the gpu back cuz I cant play like that.

 

I have done every thing before like core unparking, user.cfg, in game DX, tried all that stuff same issue.

 

I knew there is something wrong here so I did a clean wipe to the drivers and did make a new install, and boom I can change my 3d setting in the NVidia control panel I was very happy cuz I wanted to test some of the options to improve the fps in SLI, so all I did I changed the Power Option to performance and I tested the game and its much much better i got smother fps much less stutter.

 

restarted the PC and for some reason the Nvidia Global setting is back to default!!!!! and im back to point 0 again. tried to change it and apply when I close the Nvidia CTP and start it again its back to the default WTF is going on I need help here because my Second gtx 780 and the new psu is a waste of money..........

 

Specs: Win 8.1 64bit, Ram 16gb 2400mhz running at 1333MHz, gpus SLI 2xAsus gtx 780 DCuii2, Motherboard Asus chroshair v formula z, cpu FX 8350 4.0 ghz, psu cooler master v1200 PL+

 

Temps for the CPU, GPU is normal

 

I hope you guys can help me here im lost and I got a headache cuz of this......

Did you save the settings?

I use geforce experience to optimize my game settings, but Im not on my desktop right now. I do have a screen shot from when I was trying to trouble shoot SLI (wrong PCIe slot, don't ask... but just incase, they are in the PCIe 16x slots, right?) and I don't think there was a save button anywhere. Do you have the latest stable driver version? 337.88

 

[Rocky]

of course...

[Rocky]

yep they are both in the 16x slots and yes its with latest driver.

[Rocky]

anyone?

you are clicking aply right? i know in windows you will be given the option to hit ok or apply. ok means the setting you just changed will revert after reboot and apply sticks until you go back and change it. it might be something with the bios and for some reason it resets on reboot. it might help if you tell us what mobo you are using.

Have you checked the rights on the folder where Nvidia control panel is installed? Maybe something screwed the rights up. Try right click on the install folder and see if you have write-rights.
