Ninja PC - poor performance

[GunSlingerAUS]

Hey guys

 

My PC is very high spec - i7 4790K, twin GTX 780 Ti GPUs in SLI mode, 16GB DDR3, 1.5TB of SSDs, etc. I'm running Windows 10 with the latest NVIDIA drivers.

 

I hadn't played BoS for about 6 months, but last time I played it, it ran fine. Now however it chugs freqently, often hitting 40fps. I've got everything maxed at 1920 x 1080 resolution. Disabling SLI seemed to help, but performance is still not good. 

 

Any ideas?

~S~ Guns,

 

There's a "Turbo" setting in the BIOS of those high end processors.

 

Turning it off has helped a couple of people I've read here and there online.

 

I know it's counter intuitive, but there ya go. Other than Win 10 = Bad Move.

 

Good Hunting,

Hey there

Thanks for the feedback, but I'm not sure either of those are the reason. I've read the Turbo post, and am convinced it's a Placebo effect. Intel chips have a Turbo function, which automatically ramps the CPU to top speed when they're under the most load. It's not overclocking - it's simply running the CPU at the speed it's designed to run at, while it runs much slower while idling. So disabling Turbo should actually decrease performance, as you're shaving up to 50% of the CPU frequency off your chip. 

 

As for Win10, every game benchmark I've seen shows it being equal or 5 to 10% faster than Win8.1, Having said that, its is definitely possible that there's a quirk with IL2, but then we'd see more people running Win10 noticing this. 

 

Hmm, my quest for performance continues.

Hi,

 

I installed Win10 while ago and for me Nvidia drivers 353.30 is giving best performance. Automatic update in Win10 is a pain but with Microsoft tool you can block driver updates and install the one you want.

I also had the problem with the same configuration. Until surrendered, which had shifted to the energy-saving options in the Windows 10 installation what.

After changing I had the full processing power again.

The 'Turbo' function issue is with AMD chips it works differently to Intel, which as far as I know have no problems when 'turbo' (silly tacky name  ) is enabled

 

AMD turbo can lead to rapidly switching back and forth between that and idle speeds causing stutter and lack of performance when under high/max load

No.

 

Dynamic clocking (or the Turbo Boost marketing term...) certainly is overclocking (or upclocking if you want to take the semantics angle...) as you are over the stock clock speed of the processor...

 

Disabling Turbo Boost isn't "shaving performance" off the stock clock of the processor which remains constant... It is just disabling dynamic upclocking...
