GTX 570 x 2 and SWTOR

[mwdavis77]

I'm running into some odd issues with my setup and SWTOR. I've got an i7 920 in an ASUS P6t Deluxe with 6Gig of RAM along with 2 GTX 570s in SLI. I'm running in 1920x1080 with *everything* except AA set to max. My frame rates will swing from 110 to 35 but generally settle around 50 or 60 fps when I'm outdoors. I fire up the in game FPS monitor and it never indicates the system is being limited by the CPU and whenever I look back over the graphs in GPU-Z my video cards are never pushed beyond 55%. Any ideas what could be the bottleneck here? As a point of comparison, I fire up BF3 and both my video cards are pushed to the max utilization when I have everything on ultra.

Did you try the beta nVidia drivers? As always with xfire and sli... new game = need new SLI/crossfire profile.

The latest beta drivers fixed my SLI issues for SC2, Skyrim, And Battlefield 3. Def worth a shot for TOR.

 

[mwdavis77]

I'm using the 290.36 beta drivers.

Nvidia usually doesn't add SLI profiles to games that are in beta. The full release just happend recently right? I would hang tight and wait for the next drivers.

SLI wasnt working very well in beta fyi. Might take awhile for proper drivers to be made, but I do remember there being something in one of the more recent drivers to fix sli in swtor.

I was considering an upgrade to a new mobo/cpu but I noticed most of the LGA1155 boards don't support two 16x PCIe slots. Does this impact performance a lot?
