At what resolution are you playing at? And which games have you tried?

1080P chino.
Samsung SE510C 27-Inch Full HD Curved LED Monitor (16:9, 3000:1, 250 cd/m, 1920 x 1080, 4 ms, VGA/HDMI) ( after googling the monitor )

are you on wifi or are you cabled straight to the net?

are you using HDMI or DVI to the monitor from the GPU?

Download 3DMark and run the FireStrike Extreme benchmark. Post a screenshot of the results.

Have you checked the refresh rate? What is it?
Refresh rates of 60 will result in merely having 58-60 FPS.
AMD drivers have a "Frame Rate Target Control", which will limit FPS to that target even in 3D Mark (just tested that).
Do your Nvidia drivers have anything similar?

Indeed.

1. Have you verified that SLI is activated?

2. Is Vsync enabled? If do, disable it.

3. Are you using the latest NVIDIA driver? Try uninstalling it and test with a previous version.

4. How many PCIe cables are you using per GPU? Try swapping PCIe cables as well.

Hello przemozz93

I can say for a fact that the crysis games and the far cry games are optimized well for sli and you should be getting way higher frames per second at 1080p with two matrix 980 Ti's or at least capping at 60 frames per second.

I know you said you reinstalled the NVidia driver but try reinstalling it again but try a custom advanced install. Let the sli connector connected, after the license agreement uncheck everything except the graphics driver and PhysX driver then check the box that says perform a clean installation.

After doing this open the NVidia control panel and at the very top click 3d settings then put a checkmark beside "show sli visual indicator", when playing a game you should see a thick green bar fluctuating to show sli is working.

Refresh rates of 60 will result in merely having 58-60 FPS. (although I have it unlocked and not checked that on #D Mark, but am bout to now.)
