While monitoring the GPUs core clock in GPUz while idle I am sitting at around 324 MHz, when I start playing a game it jumps to around 915 MHz but then goes back down to 324MHz with no indication as to why. The temps stay at around 39c and go no higher than 42c

I'm reluctant to assume that game optimization for SLI is the issue, because you state that this issue is consistent across multiple games.

Your only option is to troubleshoot, and by process of elimination determine what is causing the issue.

You can try disabling SLI and test each GPU individually. This should determine whether or not the issue is with SLI. If performance isn't normal with one GPU installed, try seating the GPU in an alternate PCI-E x16 slot. That would rule out SLI not working correctly and/or a defective motherboard slot - perhaps even a defective GPU.

You can also try creating a partition on your storage drive with a fresh Windows, or re-installing Windows to ensure that other software isn't the problem. Have...

I noticed it just recently, although I have just only recently gotten back into gaming, so there was no change that I had noticed from one patch to the other, I am using the latest geforce driver

like i said in the OP, the temps are around 39c, they have never been overclocked.

You can also try creating a partition on your storage drive with a fresh Windows, or re-installing Windows to ensure that other software isn't the problem. Have a clean install with nothing else downloaded except for the latest Geforce drivers, some GPU monitoring utilities, and a GPU bench-marking utility like Unigen Heaven Benchmark - or whichever you prefer. Test the GPU's separately and then together.

If the cards work normally separate but not together, the issue could be the SLI bridge, or perhaps the motherboard. Using a different SLI bridge connector would rule out defects with the bridge, and testing in a different motherboard would rule that out.

yeah you should probably trouble shoot but may i ask how much ram you have. gpus use some ram so if you have sli'ed with only 2gb it probably isn't that good. try using one gpu if it works try the next if it does try a different sli bridge, if it doesnt work then thiers your problem i suggest you sell that 670 then and get a r9 280x or gtx 770 if you favor nvidia but for that price you could when on sale get a r9 290
