While playing some games, mainly WoW, I am experiencing odd SLI issues and driver crashes.
My current setup is as such:
Windows 7 Professional 64 bit
Corsair HX 850w http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
Asus Sabertooth x79 motherboard socket 2011 http://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/SABERTOOTH_X79/
EVGA GTX 770 2GB ACX SCx2 running in SLI http://www.evga.com/Products/Specs/GPU.aspx?pn=FA93EFC9...
8GB kingston hyperx ram, 2GB sticks x4 1333 MHZ OC'd to 1600 MHZ
Intel 4930k six core processor http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
Intel 530 120GB http://ark.intel.com/products/75611/Intel-SSD-530-Serie...
intel 730 480GB SSD boot drive
1TB western digital 7200 RPM HDD
Also running a soundblaster X-FI fatal1ty sound card with front bay.
I have gone through many steps trying to fix this...i RMA'd one of my cards i thought was the issue, got it back and was still having the problem. I have reinstalled my drivers countless times, and just recently i reformatted my entire computer in a last ditch effort to fix the issue. However the reformat doesn't seem to have helped either.
Among the driver crashes is the issue of one of my GPU's not fully clocking up to its maximum MHz, i have noticed that one GPU will be at a TDP of like 66% while the other is at like 56%. Sometimes one GPU's usage will be at like 60% and the other at 40%...I've seen it as bad as being 3 times the current GPU usage of the second SLI, like one will be at 23% while the other is at 65% usage.
This screenshot should give a rough example of what im facing, although i have seen it more severe than this, this was the best screenshot i could get at the time.

edit: i got a good screenshot during a EVGA OC Scanner test
as you can see the first card is at 98% GPU usage as it should be with 68% TDP at 1215 MHz, the second card is at 47% GPU usage with 60% TDP and 1110MHz.
