    Hello,

    I am getting really wild fluctuations in FPS (down to 30s - up to 150+) in key new machine which had 880m sli, and ssd to run the game from, and all updated drivers. The screen is 120hz which I would like to use.

    The game is optimized using nvidia experience and should have plenty of power to run this game fluid in in multiplayer games. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

    The game itself is horribly optimized. You should enable v-sync for a more stable FPS.

    It could be throttling. What CPU do you have? Are you monitoring temperatures?

    CPU is Intel i7-4810MQ.

    I haven't monitored temps yet no. I had tried disabling v sync in game and enabling on nvidia to try and force it to utilize the 120hz screen, but pretty bad in both cases it seems.

    Have you tried running the game on a single GPU?
