GTX 970 SLI Low Gpu Usage

[NilsSkyline]

Hello guys.

 

I just recently installed my second GTX 970 in SLI. (Gigabyte G1 Gaming)

When im doing some benchmarks or playing high demanding games (farcry4, thedivision...) only one gpu is used at around 70%-80% with a clock at ~1500Mhz, while the second gpu is just operating at ~500Mhz. This causes the Division just running at 40 fps @ high settings on 1440p, which should obvisously be much higher. Even at medium settings i just get mediocre fps.

I have installed and updated all drivers, SLI is of course enable in the Nvidia Control panel and I have installed all windows updates etc.

Even when overclocking the second Gpu is still operating at those low Mhz. Also, EVGA kboost did not boost the low operating Gpu.

 

Pc specs: i5 4670k + H100i, 2xgtx970, 16gb ram @2400, Samsung Evo 940, Vii Hero, 850W Evga powersupply.

 

Do you have any ideas why the one Gpu in SLI is working at such a low load & what i can do to improve that?

 

Thanks in advance

Make sure you have the SLI bridge installed and that you have enabled SLI in the control panel as shown below:
