Just been playing for the past hour and noticed my bottom GPU was abit quiet.. check Precision X and it's not even using GPU2!


I have the latest Nvidia drivers installed.



Is there some profile I need to install?


Help please!

Thanks
Jay
 
Scrap that, just checked my NVidia control panel and it's been disabled for whatever reason! Re-enabled now and checking.
 
If you just updated your drivers that could be why. I dont know if its just me but mine always disables after every driver update and I never remember to turn it back on until I fire up a game and wonder whats going off.

Indeed, it happens for everyone when updating to new drivers - you always have to re-enable SLI. It is a moment of panic sometimes when launching a game and seeing no GPU usage for your second card, but then you realise that you forgot to re-enable again :D

I must confess I do this nearly every bloody time, even as recently as 337.88.

Thought process happens as so - "**** sake sli isn't working, rage rage rage, oh yeah new drivers" :o
 
No wonder why then haha, I always thought it was something wrong and not the drivers resetting it!

Doh!



Just been gaming solid for 4 hours on watch dogs, really enjoying it. Not played much of the campaign yet, more free roaming and doing random stuff. Can't wait for the DLC's to come out in the future!

How are you enjoying it? It's unplayable for me with SLI 780ti. I get crazy stuttering!
 
Strictly speaking you can run ultra, just without AA, vram usage sits around 2900mb, sit and play with the AA/Texture settings and find a combination that works for you

It's great! Loving all the hacking and being able to choose to be a vigilante or a criminal in the communities eyes. The Driving is good and responsive and doesn't feel like it was done in a hurry. The shooting and gun models/Sounds look and sound amazing not to mention the bullet holes you put in people as well when you shoot them.

My only really gripe is the autosave feature which is annoying. I rather be able to save the game when I want and where I want.
 
GPU utilization on both are about 92-98% most of the time. The game play itself its very solid and I don't get stuttering or lag spikes.
