Hello, I very recently bought two GTX 1070's and after a re installation of drivers and some overclocking I noticed that during all my bench-marking both my cards GPU Usage was very inconsistent. One card usually hovers around 80-100% load and often times dips down to 60% while the other one seems to be just fine.
My Heaven Benchmark 4.0 was getting a score of around 4100 while people with the same setup were getting scores of 5200+ so there must be something wrong.
Could it be my PSU? I heard its not the best in terms of quality and one time upon startup I had a black screen come up and say that my PSU may be defective.
Also, in GPU Tweak my my Power Target Status seems unstable during load. It ranges from 65-85% and also sometimes dips down to 60% however from what I understand and my previous experience using two GTX 980's in sli it should keep stable at 100%.
My Specs:
Asus Z97-A Mobo
i7-4790k overclocked
16gb ram
Corsair CS750M PSU
GTX 1070x2 Asus Strix
