Incredibly low FPS on Skyrim with 2-way 670 SLI. 2013

2013 2013 2013


I started playing Skyrim again recently and added the SoSENB to it. I play skyrim on my 2560x1440 27" Catleap Yamakasi 2703. I have an old 24" 1920x1200 dell in portrait mode also hooked up / powered on. In NVIDIA control panel, it's set to "maximize 3d performance" and SLI is listed as enabled.



I'm a little confused why Skyrim is averaging a mere 10-24 FPS. I set everything to ultra in the game, then did a few .ini tweaks suggested on NVIDIA's skyrim tweak post, as well as installing and enabling SoSENB. The FPS hangs around 10-20 FPS.



Is there something I need to adjust in a .ini file or something? Is this "normal" for a 2-way SLI rig for this game? Benches I've seen (at a mere 4x AA) suggest 80+ FPS.



I tried disabling SLI, and my FPS is almost identical, suggesting that SLI isn't working worth a darn for some reason. GPU utilization on each core never goes over 52%.



Why is my framerate so darn low?



Yes, I've already made sure the SLI bridge was connected firmly.
