580 sli gpu usage

[Adam123]

So i've just had a game on BF3 with SLI enabled and I've looked in afterburner after my game and gpu 2 core has around 20% more usage than gpu 1... everything else is the same (clock speeds etc etc) with gpu1 set as master.

Is this normal?

One GPU acts as a master and the other as a slave, so there is always going to be some disparity. I can't comment on your 20% difference though, as I don't know.

Seems like gpu1 is a lazy master then giving gpu2 more work to do. Lol
