  1. So i took a picture of the inside of my bitfenix phenom case which I think makes it look more crowded than it is but still.. as you can see I have no room to work with This seems to be true, I'm wondering if there is an exception. The V series at 850w is just a touch too deep and the VS looks like it only goes up to 750w. both the G3 and GS are too deep.. Thank you for the responses
  2. Hello, so I think my rig needs more power. I just bought two 1080 ti's to replace two 980's and three times now my computer has restarted itself while playing a game (4k ultra settings). I currently have a 750w thermaltake toughpower 80 plus gold. I am able to run my computer for hours under load without it restarting so I think i'm just barely exceeding my power needs. My problem is that my case has no extra room, the PSU I currently have just barely fits under my first GPU. The dimensions of my PSU are: 5.9 x 3.4 x 5.5 inches. My question is, do 850w+ PSU's exist at those dimensions? Is there a good way to search for a PSU by it's dimensions? Thank you for any help!
  3. Thank you for the conformation, I guess I will wait and see. like you said, I'm sure it will get there eventually. I did just get dinged for a new driver update, fingers crossed! (I'm most interested in playing Mass effect andromeda and I suspect that is what the optimizations are for!) So I haven't noticed any issues while operating (besides the seemingly low fps) I've been reading lots of different things about what I actually need for a PSU. It seems with no overclocks that my system is stable, however I may need to look into getting a 1000W in the future. I have a bitfenix phenom case so everything is pretty tight and I remember having to get a physically smaller PSU than the one I had originally planned on because of it's confined space. I haven't looked into PSU's very much, are there small form factor 1000w PSU's available? or do they all get necessarily larger with their power output?
  4. I did this and sadly no change in watch dogs 2 (my test game). I did run firestrike ultra in SLI again and these are my results: total score 11,250. Graphics score: 12,489 graphics 1: 71, graphics 2 43, physics score 11465, physics test 36, Combined Score 6350, combined test 29. I did just try running each card individually and benched them with Firestrike ultra around 6400. So it seems that they may be fine individually. So I just watched bulletbarry's video: And he is describing exactly what I am experiencing. I am using the high-bandwith bridge. It kills me a little that I may have spent that much on a GPU that is best for me to not use... but like bulletbarry mentions in his video, maybe it is that the drivers still have some kinks to work out. These are the first drivers to support the 1080ti as far as I know. Bulletbarry mentions wanting to use a 1000w PSU and not seeing any improvement, am I alright with just the 750? Also, I have seen other people do benchmarks where they do show improvements with SLI, even with Watch Dogs 2.. what is the difference? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzJpNh21sds Thank you for all the replies
  5. Sorry, I forgot to mention, I had previously been using two GTX 980's in SLI and had never run into something like this. Is it possible that it would not run well for a different pair of GPU's?
  6. Hello, I recently upgraded to two Gtx 1080 ti's from two GTX 980's (not ti). I was really excited to run all my games at 60+ fps at 4k on ultra. Turns out something isn't going right and I am not seeing the results I had hoped, In fact in some games like watch dogs 2 and mass effect andromeda I have actually noticed a significant drop in FPS while using SLI (watch dogs 2: 45ish fps no sli, 25 fps with sli. Andromeda: 45ish fps no sli, 14-28 with sli). Initially it looked like my 2nd GPU was not being utilized, sitting at 26% according to MSI afterburner. I saw that someone else had been having a similar issue and recommended turning off G-Sync, I did that and my cards are being fully used (showing spikes up to 100% in Afterburner) but the fps is still sitting at 25 or so in Watch Dogs 2 when using SLI. Here is my build: Intel i7-4790k (stock speed) Gigabyte G1 sniper M5 LGA 1150 Motherboard 2x GTX 1080ti FE (stock speed) w/ Nvidia SLI bridge 2x 8gb of A-Data DDR3 1600mhz ram Samsung 500gb ssd and msi 500gb ssd Thermaltake 750w 80plus Gold PSU Acer 4k 60hz G-Sync monitor Is my CPU bottle necking my GPUs that badly? Is my PSU not putting out enough to keep everything going? why do I get less fps while in sli? I'm at a loss here and was really hoping to see better performance than this. Is there any glaring conflict that I am not seeing? Please let me know if I can provide any other information, Thank you for any help!
