Gsync SLI Stuttering in multiple games with 780's

Talk about NVIDIA G-SYNC, a variable refresh rate (VRR) technology. G-SYNC eliminates stutters, tearing, and reduces input lag. List of G-SYNC Monitors.

Gsync SLI Stuttering in multiple games with 780's

Not sure if this is a driver issue or what. It works fine when I'm on one card but for some games it stutters pretty badly even though my fps is in the 70's. Games like BF4 (ultra settings and 200%) or Tomb Raider will stutter in SLI with Gsync on FPS in the 70's.

Tomb Raider for example is way smoother on a single 780 GSync @ 30FPS then SLI @ 70fps. Really annoying.

Is this something that will mature over time when the drivers get better? I'm not sure what exactly is the reason the stuttering is occurring when I'm at a high frame rate.

I think for now I will leave Gsync turned off until it becomes more mainstream unless someone knows something I don't.

I read all through that thread. He was having a problem with crashing. My games run they just stutter.

Actually after the patch I got SLI GSYNC working, but I am getting stuttering with it too. Also the actual frame rates are worse with SLI GSYNC than single GPU GSYNC.

In BF4 I set the frame cap to 140 via the registry mod. While gaming the frames normally hover around 120-130 but I can definitely tell when the game jumps down to 80-90. I have fraps running and whenever I feel it stutter I look at the FPS and sure enough its in the 80-90's.

If gsync was working properly I wouldn't be able to tell of the frame drop.
