Benchmarking

Prior to the beta drivers you posted, I heard that the driver package sucked major balls and the new ones increased performance a good amount.

You are correct although I still only get like 19% utilization on my 2nd 680. Everything else I got pretty decent increases.

ok I have the beta drivers and frames jumped about 15 fps which is great. What is that naitive display now with the three monitors?
Nividia control panel is giving an example of 3072 x768. I thought it was 5960 x 1080? That doesnt sound right. Windows display shows as 1080 x 1920 x 3 monitors.


Edit: Farcry 3 booting now and running very smooth at 57 fps with v sync on. Pretty cool!

Once you setup surround your resolution should be 5760x1080 BEFORE you do the bezel correction.


Once you do the Bezel Correction, Nvidia will set a custom resolution for you.

I have Crysis 3 installed on my SLI box, but i'm currently still messing with twitch/dxtory/xsplit settings on my laptop. I'll get you numbers if you still want them later tonight.


For ultimate smoothness, I would aim to get 120fps or more as close as you can to really utilize those monitors. Keep vsync off, and set the refresh rates on the monitors to 120hz or 144hz.
If you can't select 120/144, you'll need to do lightboost hack.

Ok got all that. Oh man I'm nowhere near 120 fps! Maybe on low. I have it on ultra with pretty much everything else off. I stay anywhere between 50-60 fps with no vsync. Crysis just varies a lot. It can be running smooth then a big area makes it stutter.

Sure I'd like numbers.

I have one of my cards switch to physics, not dedicated.

don't worry about physx. set it like this.

Well those 770s are getting some use. One of them got up to 88c. Looking for a cooling solution now and throwing in acouple 120 mm fans won't do it I'm sure. I was having slowing issues but I think it has to do with the cards throttling when they get over 80c. From what I've read that's their goal temp.

If you can get a couple high volume fans blowing directly towards their intakes, it should help. The only other solution I know of is another loop and expensive water blocks.

What case are you using?

I think 770's mostly case vent, so if you don't have enough airflow into and out of the case you're gonna have a bad time.

Im running the Antec 900. Five 120mm intake fans (2000rpmn) and Two exit fans (3000rpm) also a high flow 200mm (1500rpm) up top. Theres really no more room for fans unless I get a monster case and Asus said if I loosen one screw from my cards for waterblocks I void my warranty..It's really just the middle card in the SLI setup. Its getting roasted by the top and bottom.
