So a few months ago I built a new gaming system, here's the specs:
-EVGA GeForce GTX 460 1GB (Fermi) x2 SLI
-Intel Core i5-750 OCed @ 3.8GHz
-Corsair Nova 32GB SSD
-Samsung 2TB HDD
-WD 750GB HDD
-WD 1TB external HDD
-EVGA P55 SLI motherboard
-8GB CORSAIR DOMINATOR DDR3 RAM @ 1333MHz
-Rosewill Xtreme Series 850W PSU
I just recently bought the 2nd 460 and have ran benchmarks with both cards enabled and with only one. Between the two I'm only seeing a small difference in frame rate. I'm wondering if there was a way for me to verify that both cards are in fact being used? I have EVGA Precision and on the charts it shows activity and I see both cards listed in Nvidia Control Panel, but I still don't see it reflected in the frame rate. I'm running the Lost Planet 2 benchmark.
Is there something I'm missing?
P.S. My first card is in a x16 2.0 and the other is in a x4. Would there be a noticeable difference in perform between the two because of that? Does that effect the SLI in any way?
Thanks in advance.
