Sli usage at 25% on the second card...

[Jeimuzu86]

Hi Guys,

My current setup is..

I5 760 @ 4.0Ghz
4GB Corsair XMS3 RAM
Gigabyte P55-UD5
2x Geforce 285 GTX SLi
Coolmaster Silent Pro 700w
Windows 7 64bit

I'm running all the latest drivers for my hardware. The issue I am having is that I have noticed that the GPU usage on the 2nd GPU never goes above 25% while the 1st GPU is at around 99%. I have demostrated this using Furmark and Afterburner. Any ideas?

Have you tried OCCT yet?


Man, I need a 27" monitor!

It's not an issue. I'd say Furmark doesn't use SLI in your case, it's common
Try to show SLI indicator and see if SLI works when Furmarked. If not - try to change rendering type for Furmark in nVidia settings (some people change a filename):
