I love LTT, after watching for a few years, I decided that I thought I'd be a real cool kid and buy a nice 1440p 165hz monitor (The Dell S2417DG that I saw in a video). Then I started playing Rainbow Six Siege in 1440p and realized I could only get about 95 fps with the settings I wanted (PC Specs: i7-8700k,1080, 16GB 2666mhz RAM).Naturally, because I hate money, I bought a slightly larger PSU and another 1080 (used/sweet deal on eBay). When the GPU came in the mail, I immediately installed it and realized the cards were different heights and my HB Bridge wasn't going to work - 'oh well' I thought - as I purchased 2 ribbon SLI cables on Amazon.
Fast forward 2 days and boom! I get everything hooked up! BUT WAIT - I have to benchmark it first!
No SLI benchmarks (single 1080)

Cool results, right? Anyways I went and plugged in the ribbon cables and enabled SLI. Here were my results:

I've tried googling relentlessly, but all of the R6S SLI threads/videos are from circa 2016-2017 when you had to use Nvidia Inspector to get SLI working. Currently, there is no Rainbow Six Siege in Nvidia Inspector - it is listed as an officially supported game.
What am I doing wrong (or not doing)? I feel so fucking stupid.
Things I have done:
- Verified driver was up to date
- Verified Windows was up to date
- Slapped myself with a fish
- Restarted PC
- Disconnected second monitor
- Contacted Ubisoft support (literally 0 help)

tl;dr 'only' getting 95 fps in Rainbow Six Siege 1440p, bought a second 1080, bought SLI ribbon cables due to different gpu card heights (RIP HB BRIDGE), got DECREASED performance after enabling SLI in Nvidia Control Panel. Wtf am I doing wrong?
