Hello all,

In advance, here are my specs:
CASE: NZXT Phantom Full Tower (White)
PSU:Corsair AX1200 (1200w) Power Supply
GPU:2x (SLI) EVGA SC Signature 2 GTX 680's
CPU:i7 3770k OC'd to 3.9 only Ghz .:Stable:.
RAM:16 GB (4x4) Corsair Vengeance
MOTHERBOARD:ASUS Sabertooth Z77
CPU COOLING:Corsair H80 Closed Loop Cooling System
AIR COOLING: 1x 200mm NZXT Fan (Exhaust) + 2x 120mm Corsair AF120 Performance Edition + 120mm Enermax Fans
OPTICAL DRIVE: LG Blu-Ray Burner/Writer
HDD/SSD: Western Digital 2 TB HDD ~ 128 GB Intel SSD

I don't think bottlenecking is the case AT ALL, as I have been running fine ever since I put in my second monitor in the same GPU before. Of course, I took it out to see if it solved the problem, and it did not. I did a system restore to a day ago, installed the newest GPU driver, and that it all.

I always used to get equal usage... Does anybody know what's going on?
Thanks in advance!

Did you do a fresh install of nvidia drivers?

I just uninstalled the graphics portion of the Nvidia drivers, and let the PC install the driver back itself.



Don't...

Just out of curiousity, how low is 'low usage'? Is your performance still good?

Monkey, that wasn't bumping, he answered the question? >.<

Deleted? but yeah I wouldn't let windows do anything itself its pretty dumb that way. I would get the drivers from nvidia and make sure it updates the sli profiles When it installs make sure sli is enabled in the nvidia control panel and that all the options are set according as it resets to default after a fresh install
