2 Graphics cards in SLI

[snail915]

So I currently have 2 GTX 760s (2Gb) in SLI and don't really notice any performance increase when running them. Am I missing a catch? I've been on NVidia control panel and enabled SLI.

What is the Hz and ms of your monitor. That might be the bottle neck here.

60Hz, unsure of the ms as when I bought it (2 years ago) I didn't really know monitor mattered. 5ms just checked in its info

*I was a complete Rookie, first build and all with 0 knowledge*

Drivers up-to-date?

List your other specs. It will also depend on the game, I run 780's in SLI and there are a few games were I see barely anything for performance increase (older titles typically).

The problem you are most likely having is that many games don't fully support SLI and a lot of the time you are still just gaming on a single GPU while the second one is just sitting there sucking up the power. Many tech websites recommend to just run a single powerful GPU as opposed to 2+. I used to run SLI 770s and like you didn't see much, if any difference while gaming. I sold my 770s and bought a 980ti, which is about the same in capability as my 770s were, but with the full time power and not the "if all situations are correct" power. I would go with a GTX 1060 6gb or GTX 1070 if I was you.

My other specs are:
Asus 21.5" VE228H monitor (60Hz 5ms response)
Asus Maximus VI Hero motherboard
I7-4790K
16Gb Corsair DDR3 Ram
2x Asus GTX 760's (2Gb each) SLI
850W PSU

What I said makes no sense sorry. mcconkeymike is probably right.

Ah ok, is there any method of running different profiles known to work with games that don't fully support SLI? Seeming likes its getting phased out more and more these days...

What games do you not see a performance increase in?

Dragon Age Inquisition performs no better
Batman Arkham knight still capped at 30FPS (sometimes goes up to 60 then laggs like hell as it fluctuates)
Call of Duty (Pretty much all of them)
Skyrim Legendary edition

Suppose they're the main ones

Interesting that Skyrim Legendary Edition runs no better with SLI and newer COD games should be supported by SLI. Do you have the newest driver?

I do have the newest drivers yes. The old skyrim runs with SLI but not the new one, Cod 4 remastered crashes every 5minutes to 1 hour when using SLI, advanced warfare seriously glitches out when using snipers and SLI but even before the glitches all 3 won't run above 30fps. If i turn V-Sync off it fluctuates so much it is unplayable
