Hey guys, I'm having some problems with my SLI configuration. Ever since my PC crashed (2 days ago) from changing to maximize 3D perfomance, in nvidia's controlpanel, my graphic cards have begun acting very weird.
When playing TESO Beta, my second card wont even give that extra juice. One of the GPU's runs fine, but the other one does nothing. I tried restarting the PC, but that ended up with both of them, having the same problem.

I really need help with this, because I wont believe that its my CPU that is bottlenecking my system.

System:
16gb 1866 mhz memory
2x MSI 760 SLI
i7-4770k - 3,5ghz
850watt PSU
H100i cpu cooler
Windows 7 pro

As you can see on the pictures, the GPU Core clcik and memory clock is very low, and it stays at that. Is this a driver problem? - I have the 335.23 from Nvidia.

Does it have this problem with every game since you had that crash or just Elder Scrolls online beta? There's lots of reports of other people not having SLI working with ESO beta, probably the SLI Profile for it from Nvidia isn't finalized yet.

I have read a fix that if you force alternate frame rendering 2 in the 3D application settings for ESO, I've heard that helps until an SLI profile is fixed. Your CPU is not bottlenecking your system at all. It's normal for only one card to perform if the game does not support SLI.

I havent really tested any other games, since TESO has been the game I was playing in this weekend, but I'm pretty sure its only TESO. So I'll go ahead and say, its because of no SLI profile. Thank you for your help. :)

No problem any time! Give some other games a shot just to be sure, but I'm fairly confident there shouldn't be anything amiss, just double check to make sure SLI is active in your drivers and you should be fine :)
