I recently added a second GTX 680 to my rig, in SLI with the first one.
The top card is a Palit GTX 680, and the second is an MSI twin Frozr II GTX 680. Neither card is overclocked.
According to EVGA PrecisionX, the Palit card is idling at 810mhz GPU with idle temps of 43°C, while the MSI card is idling at 342mhz GPU with idle temps of 30°C.
I know the MSI card has better cooling at stock, but why is the Palit card not throttling down to the same mhz as the MSI card when idling? I've set the global power properties in NVidia Control Panel to adaptive, but the cards are still having this issue. It's annoying that NVidia Control Panel doesn't tell you if it's applying changes to one card or both.
So what can I do to make the Palit card lower it's idle GPU clock?
