Well if those drops occur when you go out of a game/idle then it's completely normal. This is a power saving feature, as soon as you go idle/don't need to graphics card that much it will downclock.

RIG: I7-4790k @ 4.5GHz | MSI Z97S SLI Plus | 12GB Geil Dragon RAM 1333MHz | Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 (1550MHz core/7800MHz memory) @ +18mV(Maxed out at 1650/7800 so far) | Corsair RM750 | Samsung 840 EVO 120GB, 1TB Seagate Barracuda | Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 (Closed) | Sound Blaster Z                                                                                                                        Getting: Noctua NH-D15 | Possible 250GB Samsung 850 Evo                                                                                        Need a console killer that actually shits on every console? Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

which games exactly?

 

did you try Unigine and see if it does the same thing?

 

I see your spec is GTX780 SLi

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.

I happen to have a similar problem with another guy with dual 780Ti too

above is another user with SLi troubles with his 780Ti on his R4B

 

he also see his memory clock on the first GPU at 800MHz DDR while the 2nd GPU is normal at 3500MHz DDR

just to make sure 

 

do a swap of the GPU position

 

they have to be in PCIEX16_1 and PCIEX16_2 slots.

 

 

or remove the 2nd GPU and run the test again

They are both in the PCIEX16 slots, That I am sure.

 

They are In a custom water cooling loop. So swapping and removing would be extremely difficult, because I am at college.

Installed yes, in use no.

Looks ok, but it isn't memory throttling, the GPU isn't being used... What were you doing in the first pic?

yea remove the extra features which came with geforce

 

http://www.guru3d.com/files_details/display_driver_uninstaller_download.html

 

use the above program to remove the current drivers

 

and then download and install the drivers only from geforce.com 

 

 

also test with Unigine and see if there is any difference
