Gtx 760 Sli not meeting expected performance
Hi guys, this is my first post on the forum so if I posted in the wrong place, please excuse me. When I built my computer, I looked into SLI vs a single stronger graphics card as the performance of two cards are usually better than one and it was supported by benchmark tests and gpu boss. None of the components in my computer are overclocked. When I first installed windows, it was corrupted but during that time, I ran Metro Last Light Benchmark just to test the performance and it averaged 50 fps, which matches the benchmark others had tested. However, because my windows was corrupted, I had to reinstall it, after that, when I ran the benchmark again it averaged around 25 fps on 1440p Monitor. I use Fraps and everything seems choppy. All my drivers are up to date and I have no idea why this is happening.
My cpu is sitting around 45 degrees and my two gpus are about 35 degrees.
The build consists of:
ASUS MAXIMUS VI FORMULA LGA 1150 Intel Z87
CORSAIR HX Series HX750 750W ATX12V
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (4x4)
Intel Core i7-4770K
CPU Cooler H100i
2 X ASUS GTX760-DC2OC-2GD5 GeForce GTX760 2GB GDDR5 256-bit
Samsung Electronics 840 EVO-Series 512GB SSD

This is the first desktop that I've built, how do I do that? Should I increase the power from Asus ROG UEIF?

 


Well it should show you the MHz of the GPUs, make sure they are boosting up to their advertised clock rates.

I could change the MHz of the GPUs in GPU Tweak, but I think I maxed everything out once and the performance of the cards went down. I do have warranty for these, should I trade them in for new ones?
