    Question 2080ti SLI low second card utilization

    Having problems with SLI. Got one EVGA card (GPU1) and one Zotac (GPU2). But GPU2 only remains at 15-20% load in all games even with custom SLI profiles loaded (dragon quest xi, subnautica, bf5). Firestrike Extreme seems to utilize both cards just fine but games do not. Anyone know why this...

    New computer. Windows 10 on M2 NVME SSD I want to add another older drive I have laying around, a SATA SSD, to the new computer for storage purposes only. Older Sata drive also has windows 10 on it. Can I just plug in the SATA SSD to the computer and go? Then maybe format the drive once...

    2080 TI + 2080TI XC Gaming = SLI Compatible?

    Much appreciated The MOBO they'll be used is ASRock Taichi Z390, I think it has 3 slots. Not sure how spacing will workout and can't compare card heights as I only have my hands on one at the moment.

    Interesting. My computers have always started to display this behavior this after a couple years. I must be opening too many tabs or something and slowly wrecking my unit. Thanks.

    [SOLVED] Adding two more 2x8GB? 3200Hz

    Hmm, but how about say having a youtube chrome tabbed while gaming at 4K? Also currently (with my I5 system and much less than 4K res) after playing a game or after web browsing I have to restart the computer before engaging in the other activity just to get the memory cleared to a sufficient...

    [SOLVED] Adding two more 2x8GB? 3200Hz

    So I made the semi kneejerk decision to just buy a new computer instead of upgrading my pretty old one. I'm excited but having second thoughts about my choice of ram and am almost deadset on adding more. -I7-8700K 10% Overclocking service -Asrock Z390 Phantom Gaming 4 -RTX 2080ti -16GB...

    i5-2500K & considering GPU upgrade. Foolish move?

    I just ended up buying a computer from cyberpower. I know OC'ing could have helped but eventually decided this will save me the headaches of having to go through this same process again and again as each new game becomes progressively more unplayable. Gonna dismantle the old and pawn off the...
