My GFX Cards are annoying me

[Amatsubu]

Hi, I did test my sound card last night - removed it no joy. I've just swapped my CPU out for a test CPU that I loaned from my mate at OcUK. And guess what??? First boot and both GPU's are at x8 / x8. SLI perfamnce is back to where it should be

Seems that my trusty old CPU may have issues with lanes. Gunna extensively test this now tonight, going to re-install Windows 10 again, as that seemed to show up the problems more frequently than Windows 8.1 did anyway.

Time for the 5th windows install in 36hours... lol

Great news then I guess the artifacts are gone too?

As for reinstalling Windows, I know your pain Went through the same **** trying to make YT work properly but all it took was plugging my audio interface into a different USB port

Seem to be so far, my old CPU must have a faulty PCI-E lane controller, which only caused issues when trying to run data through all 16 lanes.

Once Win 10 is installed and got my programs back on, hopefully it will all be working.

Interesting bug. Mind telling us the exact model of the dodgy CPU or posting a photo of it?

I also have this bug on Windows 10 (10240), was fine on the previous 10166 and 10162 build (with SLI), there was a post on the nvidia site who had this issue as well.

It's either a Windows 10 bug/nvidia driver bug or a combination of the two.

Update:

Here is that post on the nvidia site.
