Ok i have 2 980TIs running in sli and a 950 so i can use my non gaming monitors. Well the problem is when i run 3d mark or any other benchmark it only shows one of the 980s and the 950 being used while the second 980 remains 100% idle. I dont under stand because when it was just the 2 980s everything worked fine. It wasnt untill i added the 950 that the other 980 stayed in idle. And before you ask yes i made sure sli is enabled and my gaming monitor is plugged into the sli 980s. And im running a 1300 watt power supply so i got plenty of juice. Any body have any ideas let me know

Maybe the cpu cant support the lanes or the mobo has to drop down the pci speed.

Just plug the other monitors into the second card then nvdia controll panel and select sli/souring tab and there's a option to enable other displays no need for the 950
