GTX 780 Problem.

[Dominic_Doom]

I have a ZOTAC GeForce GTX 780 3GB PhysX CUDA GPU, and it's running a bit slow lately... I have no clue why, as my computer is brand New, got it about 4-5 weeks ago. I have never overclocked it so that is not a problem. The temperature is fine. I've been searching around for a long time, and I mabout to send it in to the store i buyed it from, but I'm gonna try asking here first. Like when I first got the card, I could record BF4 at Ultra settings With 60 fps +.

Yesterday I was playing some DayZ (The New DayZ standalone) As I thought, I could run it at Very hugh settings (max). But then It was dropped to around 30-45, and 60+ when I was looking straight up. And I met some guys and one of those had a gtx 690 or something and I had it on Very High settings and he ran it No-Lag. I have no idea what's going on, but It's really bothering me.. If someone could explain to me, or maybe help me fix it, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

I don't know how experienced you are with PC's but have you tried updating your drivers?

Download latest driver from Nvidia site to your desktop. Reinstall the driver. Do a clean install. I have a folder on my desktop that I keep Nvidia drivers in.Sometimes the latest drivers are good. Other times not so good so i just reinstall an older version.

What driver version are you using at the moment which you find "the best"?

The 690 is a faster card as it is two 680s.

What are your temps?

PSU?

Yeah, they're up-to-date

I am running two 780 ti's in sli. Have tried various Inspector settings as some people have posted how they've gotten the game to run in sli with Arma 2 arrowhead sli settings. But nothing seems to work for me either. Latest drivers are installed clean, My GPU usage on the one card is around 30% other stays nill, all very high settings enabled 1920x1080 or higher/lower, FPS never really changes if higher, only raises if the rendering distance is lowered (which would lead me to believe it's more CPU bound maybe?). Post processing disabled as it just blurs the game (DayZ standalone issue) and I'm also running a 2500k OC'd at 4.7 ghz. Thing is I'm only getting a max of 60% CPU usage on any one core at a time. All cores are working however. Avg usage per core is around 50%. So.... I'm just thinking the game is highly unoptimized. And I'm also thinking that people saying they are running 144+ FPS constant in cities with everything set to high are just trolling. I'm running a BenQ 144hz monitor myself and would like to see the higher FPS, but I'm pretty certain the game just isn't optimized yet. That has been a problem with Arma games in general.

And by the way, I'm not getting any actual Lag, unless it's server rubberbanding or something from Desync issues, which the game has plenty of. But I am getting low FPS, bouncing around from 35 to 90 in large cities I avg around 37 or so for the most part. Game still seems to run rather smooth, A lot smoother than any other game would feel running below 60 FPS. So it's very weird to say the least..

Here is a link to another site where they talk about it a little too. http://www.overclock.net/t/1438886/official-nvidia-gtx-780-ti-owners-club/5210

This could be a driver issue. it's also possible that if you're playing multi-player mode some maps are more demanding than others.

Also if there are 64 players and lots of explosions it can reduce your fps.

I get better frames rates with a single asus gtx 780 ti.

Most of the time my Frame rate is around 60-70 fps, on rare occasions I get 80-90 fps.

On very rare occasions my frame rate will dip to 45 fps.

Make sure your ram and cpu are performing properly - I suggest you get rid of your overclock and try to play.

Yeah that's one thing I have yet to do, remove my CPU overclock. I did however do the opposite and boost it from 4.4 to 4.7 which gave me a slight increase. May I ask what kind of CPU you are running? I will go ahead and kill my OC here in a few minutes and test it out as well. On a side note, as far as DayZ standalone goes, you don't see many explosions at all unless you destroy a gas station, and max players on a server is 40 for now, most servers are 30 max. The player count doesn't seem to have much to do with it. CPU/GPU are performing as should just this game doesn't seem to use either that much at all, which is why I'm thinking its more of a problem with the game itself not being optimized well.

Oh wait, sorry.. You were referring to the OP and BF4

 

[mr91]

I have a 3570k, I thought you're were the original OP however I checked and he didn't overclock lol

I did try the training for Arma 2 and I remember it was running well - do you think the Arma series is worth playing?

Do you Recommend days

 

[mr91]

What do you think of 780 ti in sli general Brushy Bill?

 

[Dominic_Doom]

Ehm...

 

[Brushy Bill]

Yes I recommend DayZ, my friends and I have been having a blast! BUT, you have to remember its in early Alpha and won't even be going into Beta for about a year.

As far as Arma goes, I've been a fan of Warfare Simulation for years, since the very first Operation Flashpoint came out, game was made by the same company as Arma, Bohemia Interactive, before another developer took the series over and ruined it (in my opinion of course). Arma 2, however, is very "dated". Arma 3 is a nice step up but as I said in an earlier post, the games are very un-optimized. So its tough to get good framerate and performance, no matter what kind of system you have. The friends of mine who play DayZ with me have a range of PC builds, from low-mid range to high end systems, and everyone seems to run the game about the same (not great but not too badly).

780 ti SLI is pretty beast..... I stepped up from 670s in sli and it's a damn nice jump in performance on everything, except Arma based games. I'm enjoying them for sure.
