so I recently bought my second gtx 1080, and gave noticed that the game is using roughly 50% per card, the motherboard is z170 deluxe, with 32gb of ram with an i7 6700k, I've seen it might be because of bottlenecking which I don't think is the case, I'm using a flex sli bridge, I'm only using one flex bridge should I buy another if it's the case? I need to figure out why my graphics card aren't being utilized fully, when playing games such as crisis 3

50% of gpu ram correct?

vram is used by textures and some effects, so if yu push more on those aspecs you will use more

remember that to use alot of vram you need to go up in the resolution, 4k in your case

surelly you will not use more than 5 gbs of vram

remember also that sli doesn't joint ram amounts on both gpus, it uses the limit of each gpu

system ram is for apps running on cpu and some aspects of the games you run
