Playing GTA 5 while using two 980ti cards
Hello, I'm new the forum. I tried all the troubleshooting I could but every time I alt-tab on GTA 5 I get massive stutterings. Nothing is being maxed out. I really don't want to disable SLI or go into windowed borderless, if anyone can help that would be great! Also GTA 5 is the only game that does this. My system: i7 4790k 8gb RAM 2x 980ti's 1tb HDD (game is stored on this) 120gb SSD
Remove or uninstall the Razer Surround, it feels odd but I trust you
At 1080P resolution, turn off SLi. If you have two 980Ti cards at that resolution, you need a strong upgrade.
I discovered a workaround that seems to help. Turning off hyperthreading in GTA 5 allows using alt+tab occasionally, though it can cause issues if RAM is reached. At that point, the game stutters. When restricted to 5.5GB, it runs smoothly, whereas with full hyperthreading it uses more memory. Disabling it further reduces usage to 5.5-6.8GB, while normally it's around 6.8-7.2GB.
