Hi all
Hope you can help. I have installed in my PC 2 x GTX 970 both from MSI. They're exactly the same card, in SLI. I generally don't play high end games I just like having a nice smooth frame rate. Recently I purchased Witcher 3, while this is a very graphically intensive game my FPS doesn't seem to match up to what users with similar hardware are achieving, infact it seems like just one of my graphics cards is working.
I ran MSI Afterburner, for anyone who doesn't know, it is an overclocking and monitoring tool of MSI GPUs. I will attach an image, and as you can see the second graphics card shows no change in usage when playing the game. Looking at the image, compare GPU 1 usage % to GPU 2 usage %. The point at which I closed down the game is the point at which GPU 2 usage % spikes, the entire time playing the game before that, it barely changes.
In the game my FPS can vary greatly, I'm on high settings with dense areas getting around 45 FPS and the less dense areas can go up to 75FPS.
Any advice? Is this a hardware error or is this to be expected?
