    Systematic FPS drops in all games along with GPU usage spikes, with very good system.

    Many, many thanks for your help gskill support!! I activated the XMP profile for the RAM and it really made a difference! The gpu usage spikes have completely vanished, and the FPS drops are much rarer and not so huge. Both my average and minimum FPS have gone up, and in the rare occasion i do...

    Systematic FPS drops in all games along with GPU usage spikes, with very good system.

    Many thanks for the reply gskill support! I appreciate that you took the time to read through all of those details. The question is indeed quite loaded, i know, but it's something that has been bugging me endlessly for some time. As for the RAM, i didn't enable any XMP profiles, i just...

    Is my PSU enough for 2 x GTX 780 DirectCU II OC cards in SLI?

    Thank you both for the insight SR-71 Blackbird and photonboy. The answers were spot on. I tried installing the second card with the current PSU, and the system ran without any problems but the PSU fan did indeed get very noisey. So noisey in fact, that i wouldn't give it much lifetime if it kept...

    I should also mention that the drops existed before the OC, but the overclock seems to have lowered their frequence & duration. Furthermore, because i was getting screen tearing i have forced Triple Buffering and Vsync from Nvidia Control Panel for all programs. I am getting similar...

    Systematic FPS drops in all games along with GPU usage spikes, with very good system.

    Hello guys, i have been encountering a problem lately with all my games and i would like to know if it is normal for my system to behave the way it does, or if i am just over-reacting. My system: CPU: Intel Core i7 - 4770K 3.5 GHz Quad-Core Processor (OCed at 4.1 GHz) CPU Cooler: SCYTHE...

    Is my PSU enough for 2 x GTX 780 DirectCU II OC cards in SLI?

    Thanks for the answer photonboy! So you are saying that the PSU might be enough but it would be nearing its limits. If i'm not mistaken, hardware components don't always draw maximum wattage from the PSU. So the two cards should draw 440 Watts under full load. Otherwise, the power consumption...

    Is my PSU enough for 2 x GTX 780 DirectCU II OC cards in SLI?

    Thanks for the fast answer SR-71 Blackbird! So i take it you suggest changing my PSU. There is no chance that my current one will hold up? Also, i didn't mention that at the moment my single gpu is overclocked (via GPUTweak) @ 1050 Mhz core clock and about 7100 MHz memory clock (don't remember...

    Is my PSU enough for 2 x GTX 780 DirectCU II OC cards in SLI?

    Hello, I have a fairly new system (about 2 months old) and am intending on doing SLI. I am wondering if my PSU will be enough to power the system or if i should invest in something more powerful. My system: CPU: Intel Core i7 - 4770K 3.5 GHz Quad-Core Processor (OCed at 3.9 GHz) CPU Cooler...
