Performance declines when launching two games simultaneously on Steam.
Try adjusting graphics settings and reducing resolution in Dota to check if it improves performance across both games.
It seems the issue likely relates to the game utilizing more CPU cores instead of an SLi benchmark. Both graphics cards operate near 90% capacity, making the variation in performance mainly dependent on the CPU, not reflecting SLi limitations.
It's about pushing 4K ultra settings on extremely demanding games—definitely the most GPU-intensive titles currently available. The graphics cards are working at their absolute limits, and in SLI configurations, you'll notice the performance drops quickly even with high core counts. This situation is truly "GPU-bound," meaning both processors rely heavily on the GPUs, yet speed improvements still appear when you boost GPU speed or memory. Many believe benchmarks reflect CPU limitations, but in reality, no processor has kept up with even two-way SLI performance on the most challenging games at the highest consumer resolutions. People often overlook how much extra power and cache help distribute the workload more evenly, which improves loading times. However, once you hit this point, it becomes clear that the issue lies with the consumer hardware. The example from GTA V (linked in the video) clearly shows these bottlenecks across different settings—especially noticeable with lower-end GPUs like the 4690k compared to higher-end models. If you insist on thinking it's just a CPU problem, you're missing the bigger picture of real-world performance constraints.
Oh wow, that sounds intense! Running two games at once really does strain the system. You might need to cut back on distractions. For fixing performance issues, consider using a different approach—maybe a simpler game or closing background apps. If you're dealing with something deeper, it could be worth exploring some tech support resources.
