GTX 580's in SLI

Post » Fri May 18, 2012 6:28 am

Hey all,

I have looked around and this topic seems to be a mixed bag. Some people are saying that GTX 580's in SLI are getting them 60 FPS+ everywheres and others (like me) see low 40's when looking towards towns and cities in some areas and as well while walking around towns in certain spots. I am running the below rig on ultra with 8xAA and 16xAF on the latest Nvidia beta drivers. In and around the world and in dungeons I hit 60 FPS constant no problem (vsync) but when nearing towns and while in towns and cities (outside, not inside homes and shops) I get anywheres between 40-55 FPS...

Am I doing something wrong? Is there some magical trick to get the GPU's to run higher than 45% on each card??? I thought the latest beta drivers enabled SLI....

Im a little worried as Im seeing people with lower end cards getting the same performance with me... :(

My vantage and mark 11 scores are normal and BF3 nets me an average of 80+ FPS on Ultra....

3Dmark Vantage : 42000 (physx off)
Mark 11 : 11820

Thanks
