I have just installed my second asus gtx 780 and I just had a few concerns that I noticed while playing games.
I noticed that my cards are at almost a 10 degree difference, is this normal?
When I'm playing bf3 multiplayer, they stay around 70~85% but my fps is usually 90+
I'm thinking this is a cpu bottleneck maybe?
PC specs
I7 3770k @4.2
Asus maximus v formula
1050W Seasonic x psu
Asus gtx 780 direct cuii sli
Corsair 750D
The temps of the card never go above 70C(highest I've seen in game) and the other card
is usually around 60C
Is this anything to be concerned about?

Temperature thing is normal. The top card usually much hotter than the below one. During gaming my top card usually hit around 75c or so. Running benchmark suit such as uinigine heaven my top card can go as high as 86c. Compared to my setup your temps are doing much better than mine. About bf3 i cant say anything since i did not play the game but from what i hear the game rely heavily on cpu for MP. If you want to know if your gpu able to scale properly try running program like unigine heaven with sli turn on and off. Since this kind of bechmark software are heavily optimized by driver you can use it as a test to see if your card scaling are working or not

Yeah I was looking around and I see the temperature thing is normal. Well I tried single player and both are at 96 and FPS are 120+ I tried with far cry 3 and they seem to be scaling well everything maxed out I saw a boost in FPS. Where can I download unigine?
