So I recently bought a computer with 2 970s but whenever I play a game my card 1 is only ever on 70-90% usage and then when I look at my second card, its running at a perfect 3-8% usage, is there anyway I can bump them up, or is that how its supposed to be. I don't fully understand since I'm new to SLI and everything about it.
 
Solution


GTA V and COD WW2 are the only ones on that list that I know for sure support SLI. The others I believe do not. You're definitely having this issue in those games?
What title(s) are you playing, specifically?

SLI is not universally supported - nor is there ever 1:1 scaling.
At best, you might see gains of +60-70% and, at it's worst, could actually hinder performance of the primary card.

Please post your full system spec.
 


GPU: 970 2x
CPU: i7 4790k @4.00GHz
RAM: 16gb
SSD: 240gb

I just installed them back on my new pc, I was just including them to see if they were on the list. So it was just that?
 
I know this is older topic, but I'd like to throw in something here.

CS:GO does support SLI out of the box, though the game is typiclly CPU bound these days, SLI will most likely not do a whole lot, the game will hardly push a GTX 970 anyway.

GTA5 will work with SLI out of the box

COD WW2 will not work with SLI and its never worked with SLI, you can force it and tweak it with Nvidia Inspector but right now, I got the Battlefield 5 SLI profile to work, and its nearly 1 to 1 scaling, but it will flicker. Stock drivers it will not work with SLI at all.

Fortnight does not work with SLI , though can be enabled and works flawless by forcing AFR2

PUBG will also work with SLI out of the box, but just like CSGO, it may not provide that much more fps as that game tends to be CPU heavy
