Sli Gtx 590 low Fps Help

[johny2314jj]

Ever since I started max Payne 3 and upgraded to 301.42 most of my games are running at around 20 fps. They usually start ok but then drop and stay that way. This does not happen to certain games , but it happens to most. After a hard restart they run + 60fps and then drop again. I've tried Rolling back drivers , any help would be great , thank you

you really need to give way more info here. so you are running two gtx590 cards in quad sli? list the rest of your specs in detail too. what resolution and what settings are you trying to use?

Video memory?

 

[johny2314jj]

Sorry, yes it is 2 gtx 590's, the problem stays whether Sli is on or off.

You may have tried these, but it's always good to ask:

What do your GPU temps look like?

Have you tried resetting your nvidia control panel settings to default?

 

[johny2314jj]

Whats the most reliable tool for checking gpu temp?

you still did not list what resolution and settings you are trying to run.

 

[johny2314jj]

Sorry Max settings at 1080p

i have a 590 and this happens to me in diablo 3. I will go from 60fps (v-sync on) to 12fps. I have to restart the computer, but then it's fine.

@johny2314jj:
I'm not sure I'm qualified to say which tool is the most reliable, but I use Hardware Monitor and GPUZ.

@Daemas:
We'll need more information: what settings are you running at, what's your other hardware, how much OC, etc.

Also, same advice applies: check your temps and try resetting your ncp settings to default.

What's your 2600k clocked at?

 

[johny2314jj]

Mine is over clocked . Max over clock from cyberpower. Not sure what it is exactly

Right click computer icon-properties that will tell you your overclock. If you want help I'd advise you to tell people a bit of info or rather a lot more info e.g.mobo etc as you're making it difficult and time consuming for people to help you. Look at Don Karnage or my sig and you see the sort of info that's needed. Settings means what level and type of AA etc as those details let people know whether 20fps is reasonable. Unless the info is classified then keeping it cryptic means most people won't bother.

Did u enable Vsync by any chance?Also unless u do some tweak in nvcp 590 can downclock itself but it will be definitely not 20fps.

It seems all games just slow right down after about an hour of max Payne 3

 

[johny2314jj]

How do I prevent it from down clocking?

 

[alyarb]

cyberpower? shipping unstable machines? get outta town!

 

[Don Karnage]

Whats with the Influx of Cyberpower owners lately? Does no one build there rigs anymore?

Have u checked ur temps then?

 

[lavaheadache]

could also be a PSU dying.

 

[johny2314jj]

My temps are average 25 - 30 C for video cards

This happened to me in Skyrim, couldn't figure it out forever. Finally, I took the fan off the top of my CPU heatsink and cleaned off the house dust. Problem solved. Silly fix I know, I wouldn't have even mentioned it except that I had the EXACT same problem as you.
Good luck
