I recently finished my new build with 2 680 HC Classies and have couple questions about performance. I'm running at 1080p (I kno SLI not needed but plan to go surround in near future). I have not tested all the games I play but a few I've had issues with are GW2 and BL2. I have everything in GW2 set as high as it can go except the sampling which is set at native. I average 150+FPS standing still but when I start running or get into a mob it dips to 20-30 FPS and will occasionally stutter. Same goes for BL2 Everything set to high as well. I Can't possibly think that these cards are not strong enough to run these games so was wondering if its a driver or game coding type issue? Am very please none the less upgraded from a GTX 275 and am still in awe. Other games tested are Dirt 3 at max never dips below 180fps and BF3 at max which is in the low 100 range. Temps are amazing too!!

Any info on the game stuttering and low FPS is appreciated

GW2 is very glitchy and has a lot to do with the CPU.

BL2 is also glitchy with very high physx settings.

I suggest you OC that 3930k a little more to like 4.6 and see how that helps.

I think the green team needs to do a little more work on the drivers for those two games.
 
Me and a lot of people in the GW2 thread can confirm that GW2 performance seems to be surprisingly poor on high-end Nvidia cards. I don't think I've seen it answered yet whether the fault lies with GW2 or Nvidia drivers, but it's not an end user mistake.

what i have noticed with GW2 and my classifieds is that for some reason it does not like ultra shadows. i dont know if this is a sli issue or gw2 issue with sli. turn it down to high and youll be fine. hardly any notice of difference.


2nd try closing all browsers and other apps while playing gw2

also sometimes the game will start using only 50% of each gpu. alt tab out and back in game and then it will use 97% again.
