Hi all,
Just got a quick query for anyone who's used to OCing SLI set ups, from what I've read up already I think that this is totally fine as I've noticed 0 performance decreases (as of yet) so let me get to the point.
My rig currently runs on x2 GTX 970s in SLI, during overclocking a week or so ago I noticed that both GPU's overclock rather nicely but during performance testing after overclocking I noticed that GPU1 wasn't boosting as high/under as much usage as GPU2. Although on Unigine everything looks fine stats wise, both boost up to the same but GPU1 still lags a little in usage.
I've tried swapping the GPU's around and it still gives the same results, so it can't be related to the GPU itself but I assume it's down to how SLI works/drivers/game usage on a case per case basis. Below I've got some screenshots which demonstrate it a little better.
GPU Usage/ClockSpeed for both GPU1 and GPU2 during a run on a game and two quick runs of Unigine (one with noticeable thermal throttle due to forgot to set it right)
