Hey guys, I Hope someone from EVGA reads this as well, I have an issue with Battlefield 4. I see people benchmarking BF4 getting 99% load on both their cards. My issue is as follows, Whenever I try to SLI my cards in BF4 the gpu usage drops to 50-60% and my CPU to 50~%, weird thing is my framerate is unlocked and only getting 70-80 fps and I now Wonder what the heck might be wrong.

If I look at GPU-Z one card says PerfCap Reason: vRel, SLI and the other one SLI.

With a single GPU my fps is around 130.

Hello,
 
There could be some issues with your current or past driver installation.

I would completely wipe the drivers with a program called DDU (display driver uninstaller) which you can download here:

http://www.guru3d.com/files-get/display-driver-uninstaller-download,20.html

If you ever had an AMD card in your system I would also use the tool to wipe the AMD drivers as well.

After running the program and removing all your current display drivers re-install the most up to date graphics drivers.

From your testing I cannot be certain that this issue is related to your EVGA product. The best diagnostic tool we have will be for you to run 3d mark firestrike (free program)

http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/2497/futuremark-3dmark-2013-v1-5-915/

Once you have ran firestrike benchmark please provide us with the link / URL to your score so that we may analyze the results and offer assistance.


A list of your system components would also be a good thing to add to your reply.

Hi! Here comes a link to the firestrike, tell me if you want me to run it again and change any settings. Saw gpu load pegged att the 2 first graphics test, the combines test was where they ran at 50% but probably due to bottenecking from the cpu during the intense physics.

Hello,
 
based on your score there are some strange things happening HOWEVER your score is above average so its kind of strange.
 
It shows your GPU's running at 350mhz core clock but I cant see how thats possible.
 
how many programs are you running that monitor system components? Do you have afterburner and Precision X running at the same time?

3dmark has been known to read the clocks incorrectly at times.

Did you optimize your game with geforce experience?

ahhh interesting. I have seen that issue when the user is running multiple overclocking programs. Wasnt sure if the issue was related to that or a 3dmark error.

Definitely a 3dmark error. I've seen it before myself.
