I have a wierd problem that I don't know how to solve.
Recently I made huge upgrade from 980 to 1080ti and I am having problem with GPU spikes. I don't know the cause but it's in most games I tried except one. I'll show you few MSI Afterburner shots where you can clearly see GPU spiking without any need for it let's say on static image where nothing is moving yet it's going up and down like picture is changing.
First Let me show you only game I found my cards are working property in. FYI all games at ultra setting 1440p @ 144Mhz.
Ghost Recon Wetlands.
In this first photo take a look at GPU1 reading, nice straing line with very little spikes yet I am fighting and driving car and picture is changing from nothing to 20 people fighting and only spikes you see are when I am in the menu or a map and stuff. This is how game should look like. Now this is 1 GPU active.
This is same thing but 2 GPUs are active both 1080ti once again minimum spikes and somewhat straight line at it should be.
Now Let's look at all other game I tried with 1 or 2 GPUS and once again take a look at GPU1 and GPU2 but in this cases everytime spike goes down Iose several frames but it's so quick even FPS counter can't register it but I can and in video below you'll see what I mean. game is unplayable like this when every 2 second you get microstop like this.
Let's begin.
Battlefield 1 gap in the middle is me messing with settings , as you can see didn't help. 1GPU

The Division. This one is odd because as you can see for several seconds may be 10 or so game run good but then again NOT

Fallout4 , this one so bad I was in it for about a minute or so lag and spikes were horrible. YEt if you look in the FPS counter it's nice and straight like again ... it's not you'll see in the video below what I am talking about.
MAss Effect Andromeda this is the game I am currently playing or trying. Both GPUS are active and as you can see spikes are everywhere and GPU in high no lower then 60 yet spiking too. But if it wan't for this stoppages it's totally playable.
The Witcher 3 I tried to change settings 3 times, nothing helped. GPU spiking.
And Finally WOW, IF wow don't play at like 200 FPS .. something is wrong here. Dual 1080ti and at 20% but it's still spiking like crazy. If you look GPU1 Usage right in the middle for about a minute I got nice and smooth gameplay and you can see no big spikes ...and then again it happened big spikes and lag.
Guys I am clueless on what is going on. I'll try to put my old 980 inside and see what is going on because I upgraded CPU and GPU and this start happening. from 5930k to 6850 and from 980sli to 1080ti sli.
I though may be it's bottleneck ? Don't think so that's why I tried just one GPU, I took one out for some tests.
Okay this is Video of this micro stops I am getting I hope this will help. To understand what is going on here.
