No wonder, you're not GPU bottlenecked then, not by far. Microstuttering predominantly occurs when your GPU bottlenecked.

Well sorry, but I find it quite silly to get 4 GPUs and then have such low load most of the time. That is just wasted money. You don't buy GPUs or CPUs to be bottlenecked or not, you buy to get the fps you want. If your setup has a bit reserve for the next 1-2 years built into it and therefore you're not always using the GPUs to their full potential, that is one thing. To buy 4 GPUs and barely use them on purpose is just plain nonsense.
The subject was that more GPUs lead to more microstutter. And that is true for all cases in which those GPUs actually make sense. Yours isn't one of them and thus irrelevant for my statement and of no consequence for the thread starter - unless he plans to waste his money, too.
4 GPUs = microstutter and input lag from hell. Good luck![]()
No it doesn't. Let me be more precise: It does when you don't increase image quality settings and get significantly more fps. But then, what is the reason for going multi-GPU in the first place? At a given fps rate, 4 GPUs are worse than 3 and 3 are worse than 2 and 2 are worse than one.
What kind of fps are you getting? Are your GPUs always running at 99% load each? The added input lag is fact, that is not for debate.

Haha, im not doing this for any practical reasons. HD6970's are dirt cheap and I make more per hour than I have years of age. I just wanted some new toys
I dont have any of the parts yet (aside from the PSU) but I will do a full update with pics and benches when they arrive. Should be all in my hands by wednesday.
I think 1 Titan is about the same price as 4 6970s...I'm pretty sure 1 Titan would run in circles around quad-fire 6970.

It would not run circles around quad-fire 6970 and he didn't just go and buy 4 6970.
It would...have you seen average frame latency for quad-fire lately?
I though we were talking about noise levels or the length of the cards..no no.. its less power connectors needed.
I think the OP cares about the 4 6970s FPS and not the latency.
Next time be specific.
Precisley, I have played on everything from 800x600 CRT's to 2560x1440 monitors with every refresh rate and pixel thing in between and they all look the same to me. As I said before, I am blind...................I wont notice a nano second of difference.
This is pure unadulterated c**p. The only games a 7970 or 680 can perform like that with are either old or are turgid console ports that are usually not worth playing unless you're 13 years old. Loads of modern games and many old ones require more than a single 7970/680 to get anywhere near maxing at 1920/1200 at 60fps. Metro 2033, the Witcher 2, Arma2, Crysis 3, Far cry 3, Sleeping Dogs etc. Yes those games will play OK but won't be maxed out all ultra at all.

One 680 is definitely enough for 1080p. I have no desire to get another without going 1440p first. All those games you mention play perfectly maxed out.

this thread fails with no pics.
if you brag, you gotta post the goods.
It's funny how many people suddenly care about things they never knew about.
