Also "4k is a bit cpu Bottlenecked" is a incorrect statement, it's the other way round, when you lower resolution it puts more load on the cpu processing more frames and raising the resolution puts more load on the gpu delivering less frames .
I think it's still the same resolution, but using lower quality textures. You can definitely tell that the textures are different between the two, and that the higher FPS picture has lower quality resolution.
While in general, you are correct, you are also wrong.
(this includes the 8700/9700K)
Far from perfect sli.
Changing quality setting won't make sli work. So in summary I couldn't get any better performance with it and the proof you provided has too many question marks and red flags and I have yet to see any concrete evidence from anyone that suggests increased performance can be achieved with muti gpus. Still, was interesting to look Into and see if it was possible but realistically even if it did work "perfectly" and the dev supported it, it's a heavily cpu bound game and a 20% increase would be optimistic imo but who knows one day maybe
It depends on the game and clock speeds and configuration a 9900k can be the bottleneck for a gt 730 if you massevly nerfed it's clockspeedWhile in general, you are correct, you are also wrong.
GPU's like the RTX 2080 are CPU bottlenecked because the CPU cant feed the GPU fast enough
who in the right mind would do that configuration?

So I tried something out.
1920x1080
Full texture resolution.

Quarter

And it shows something weird. Even with a quarter resolution, the stairs look similar. However in the pictures provided in the post above, the granularity on the second is noticeably different.
So then I took one at 1280x720

My GPU automatically upscaled it to 1920x1080
So I tried actual 720p

Still looks like crap, but smaller
So I am unable to replicate the odd blurriness in the second shot with the higher framerate.
Also just for ♥♥♥♥s and giggles, I apparently didn't have Exclusive Fullscreen enabled in the first shots I took.
Here it is with it enabled.

I got what, like 5FPS more? Maybe 6?
Also, full disclosure, these are my settings. The only thing I changed in any shots was resolution, and texture quality.
Oh, and also just for reference, here's my specs...
Win 10
i7-3930k overclocked at 4.2GHz
16GB DDR3 RAM overclocked at @1600Mhz
One GTX1060 6GB with stock OC
OS and game on SSD's, save data on ultra-fast HDD's in RAID 0
(I do have plans on dropping a second 1060 in, but only because I've run out of ports for monitors.)
Campbellh24, sincerily if u enable raytracing in battlefield 1 what happens? u loose 70% of ur fps, what u think is the impact of SS reflections just implemented in a unity game like this, because i can really show u that i have 60-70 more fps if i turn off the ss reflections, and u are killing the cpu gpu loop with that, dont except more fps if the game barely handles SS reflections.
I know I can't run SLI bridged. (I can do it via software, but the results are questionable at best.) I was just attempting to figure out why the granularity of your images was so different between your 50 FPS shot with a sharp image, and your 91 FPS SLI image that was basically blurred looking as if it had a lower texture resolution. (Because we all know that the easiest way to boost FPS is to lower settings.)
For now 4k fps are too low or unstable i would say, bloodmoon is unplayable and i love to have 60fps stable or 2k or 4k because my screen is natively 4k, im disappointed that all who tried it say that it doesnt work, im asking myself wtf it's wrong or im missing, for sure would be better have someone directly from nvidia to create a custom profile for this game, using pre existing sli bits does not allow it to work at best
Also i think that was just a bug, i was showing u fps at 2k after going into real fullscreen, it maybe was blurry due to nvidia capture software for some reason, obviusly just opened was in 4k and each time was pressed f4 it scaled to 2k as u can see from Window size, so there was a fps boost due to real fullscreen and 2k being the right resolution for the 1070 showed a bit more fps and no stutter due to overhead being cut out..
