Overclocking my GTX 560's?? - Blu-ray Forum

LIONSFAN20 · 01-29-2012, 09:19 PM

I have 2 EVGA Geforce GTX 560 running in SLI. I thought these would handle Battlefield 3 with no problem, however after playing some I get really bad drops in my frames per second. Sometimes it drops into the teens. So I downloaded some of EVGA's overclocking software for the cards and I am wondering how far can I push the core clock on these cards? Default setting is at 810 Mhz, I tried bumping it up to 850 and still had some issues with only slight improvement. Anyone have some suggestions?

You are having an issue with dual 560s? I haven't seen BF3 drop that low with that kind of a graphic setup before. What is your processor? Ram?

I have the intel i7 2600K at stock speed, and 16 GB of Corsair Vengeance RAM
I know I should not have these problems, but its pretty bad. I am running it at Ultra and 1080P

I would assume you've already done this but do you have the latest graphic drivers?

Also, where did you get them from? EVGA or NVIDIA?

I know why this is happening, I did get the latest drivers from Nvidia and I did the "Clean install" it turned off my SLI, can not believe I just figured that out. Thanks for your help guys.

No worries. They can be tricky like that. They caught me like that a few times after driver update too.
