Been having this problem for months and I can't seem to track down the issue on this particular system.

Games wont utilize my GPU's at all. It's like the GPUs won't recognize that they're games
Sitting at about 20% load on both cards and framerates really show.
30-40 FPS in GTA V low settings 1080p

Benchmarks run fine and both GPU's go to 100% and run at sustained clock speeds.

Everything is watercooled and running way under spec so that's not the issue as far as I'm aware.

Stock clocks on everything. DDU'ed a million times, flashed BIOSes on the cards, reinstalled windows countless times. Nothing seems to work.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Specs are as follows:
1800x - EKWB
ASUS Crosshair VI Hero
SLI Strix OC 1080's - EKWB
Corsair 32GB DDR4
Hardline water look
