Only half green bars with SLI Visual Indicator

[ravndal15]

Hello .
Whilst playing Tomb Raider 2013 in SLI with 2 x overclocked edition GTX 580's I am noticing an issue when running SLI Visual Indicator . When the bar is pretty solid green I'm getting around 75 fps . When it's not solid green I'm getting 40 fps . Why is this the case ? Depends where I'm moving in game . Is it because my motherboard and slots ? Or is this just a driver issue ? My motherboard is a

G1 killer sniper M3 board

There is a good chance you are experience a CPU bottleneck at those points. I know, I know, you have an i7 3770k, but every CPU has times when it can't keep up. Tomb Raider has a few spots where the CPU gets hammered. It is just how it is.

I guess it seems to be the issue . It's only the regular fan that came with the CPU I am using but with easytune I overclocked the CPU a little and it's absolely increased performance . I have a temp program running and it seems my CPU is around 55 degrees Celsius ( 131 Fahrenheit ) . Is this too hot . It's this temp in game when being stressed . About 46 idle?

I haven't looked at that CPU's temps, or seen any guides, but my i7 920 is supposed to be good below 70C, so I think 55C is fine.
