Greetings!
I recently replaced the SLI bridge that came with my motherboard on my graphics cards. After grabbing the replacement (ASUS ROG Enthusiast 2-way SLI Bridge), my top card's speed/voltage went slightly higher.
I understand for a fact that upgrading to the new SLI bridge does not improve anything but aesthetics on my machine.
Default SLI Bridge:
- GPU1 clock 1113 idle, 1464 boost
- GPU1 Voltage 1.012(idle) 1.212 (boost)
- GPU2 clock 1114 idle, 1466 boost
- GPU2 Voltage 1.012(idle) 1.175 (boost)
ASUS ROG SLI Bridge:
- GPU1 clock 1114 idle, 1466 boost
- GPU1 Voltage 1.035(idle) 1.212 (boost)
- GPU2 clock 1114 idle, 1466 boost
- GPU2 Voltage 1.027(idle) 1.175 (boost)
Results are the same across all the monitoring softwares I use
- HW Monitor
- ASUS AI Suite
- GPU-Z
- ASUS GPU Tweak II
- EVGA Precision X 16
- MSI Afterburner (download/installed for additional confirmation)
My GPUs are both ASUS Strix GTX 970 and overclocked +150 core/+700 memory (effective), +38v Voltage, 120% Power limits (priority)
So does this mean that my previous SLI bridge is faulty? Or for some reason, the monitoring software(s) I use are just reading the cards wrong?
Thank you and regards
