Hello all,
I recently purchased a second GPU( EVGA GTX 1080 FTW ), and I don't see much of a performance gain than when I had one card. I went through NVIDIA control panel and already enabled SLI, and I have an EVGA PRO SLI Bridge HB as my SLI bridge. I ran a test on Benchmark Valley and had an average FPS of 144 with the highest settings, at 1920x1080p, and had a score of 5920. It may seem high, but to me it was a bit underwhelming. I insured that all drivers were up to date.
I also tried a few games. On Tomb Raider: Rise of The Tomb Raider, I averaged around 45-50fps on highest settings at 144hz, 1920x1080p. In Ghost Recon: Wildlands I reached a peak of 53fps, and a low of 27fps with highest settings 1920x1080p. I'm unsure, but it seems a little low to me, considering that I have two GTX 1080's. My CPU is an intel i7-7700k Quad Core 4.2GHz. I do not overclocked, so I think that may be the case. I was expecting to be constantly above 60 fps, while dipping no lower than 50 fps when the visuals were extremely intense. If it's overclocking I got to do then I'll do it, I'm just not sure how to do it, but I'll learn. If not, and I have a bottleneck in my system, then please do let me know. Thank you .
