Hi all: I am running an I5-3570k, not overclocked, and 2 GTX 670 FTW 2 Gb in SLI. When running MSI Afterburner/Kombuster, 1 card runs at 99%, while the other is at 1%. Am I reading the results correctly that 1 card is not being used, or is it reporting both cards as 1? Maybe I am running in to a CPU choke?
 
Solution
SLI works by splitting frames between the two cards. I'm no expert but this doesn't necessarily mean equal usage. Something definitely looks wrong. Even so, a 3570K should easily handle 2 GTX 670's. It could be that your mobo isn't rated for SLI or something's wrong with the SLI connector.
