970 SLI Performence issue

[ScottRoberts91]

Hello,

 

On boot I can launch a game and get shocking from rates 30-50 fps with large amounts of Lag but if I reboot my computer it fixes the issue and I can get 90+ fps on most games.

I can replicate this issue on any game and also in UniEngine valley.

 

My system specs are below if anyone knows what could be causing this issue. I don't see it being one of My GPU as its fixed on reboot and occurs with or without an overclock.

 

MSI 970 Gaming 4G 2Way SLI 1504mhz 7000mhz Ram

Asus Z87 Deluxe

32GB Kingston hyper x ram

Intel 4770K Windows 8.1 4.3GHZ

try to alter the graphical settings via nvidia control panel and see if that does anything, if not: make sure your drivers are up to date, make sure they are running on the same cpu at the same speed, make sure both pci e express are running at the same speed and if you are running it on pcie 2.0 it could be your mobo killing performance. also your processor will be under load with 2 gpus. Maybe get a 5th gen processor  which can handle a bit more.

You will only need Nvidia Control Panel to overclock for a single card. You do not need to run ToastyXs CRU anymore. However, you may still need the ToastyXs driver patcher to run SLI. Someone else can chime in on this because I only have a single card....

Don't forget to mark as solved if it is

I don't see it being the processor and as both cards are individually overclocked with MSI afterburner that cannot be the issue. All drivers are up to date. and the process is running without issues at the .

The GPU is never maxed out when my frame rates dip this low and it is 100% always fixed with a reboot.

Yeah i7s are good chips. Have you looked at nvidia control panel and make sure it is at the right settings. (sli settings) try to get evga afterburner and see if all 2 gpus are being registered. If you have any more persisting problems contact evga or msi or whatever model the card is

Try running the graphics card without SLI, see if the FPS increases
