Frames Per Second-Gone Wild

Okay, Playing Far Cry 4 (game is really long) my FPS have always been a steady 59.9-60. Turned on game last night FPS going from 150+ to well over 2300??!? I'm using MSI Afterburner to watch temps. With the FPS at this level my fans are screaming, temps in high 60s and the game finally goes to black screen and closes. With the game off all pc temps a steady 39C (CPU, GPUs), I'm using Mr. Fox's Nvida 347.52 mod. Anyone every have this happen? Right now, this is the only game installed on my pc.

Any ideas?

 

2300 has to be a false reading. Is V-sync still on? (having 59.9-60 FPS as you mention, means it was on).

 

Thanks for the tip, next chance I get I'll open Nvidia control panel and close it down. I never turned it on or ever changed any settings before for anything. I hope it solves the problem this game has been a pain in the neck since I've been playing it. I hope it wasn't another patch that caused this, for me those patches have caused more problems than solved.


update:

Disabling v-sync led to other problems. The only thing that solved the high FPS was disabling SLI. Now my FPS are around 30-50, I just want to finish this game.

 

Have you considered forcing v-sync on via the control panel?

 

I had no problem with v-sync in control panel. If I turned it off, I got black wavy lines across screen and the FPS craziness didn't change. Right now everything is fine with one card, FPS steady at 59.6 I can continue this badly ported game (9 PATCHES?!?!?). I just want to finish.

 

That sounds very similar to how Skyrim played for me with 7970M CrossFire and 680M SLI without v-sync enabled. The funny thing about that is 580M SLI, 780M SLI and 980M SLI do not need to have v-sync enabled for Skyrim for me to avoid that strange behavior. Hopefully, it's only FC4 that's doing that on your system. If it does it with other games, you may have a bad SLI bridge cable.
