GPU1 reported more power limits, but the earliest reported was at 96%. Regarding power limit during this round, even though GPU2 reported it less times, some of the limits reports where when GPU2 power was at 94%. GPU2 shows its higher accuracy again, not flagging a limit where no limit has been reached. =) Is everyone running SLI experiencing the same? Is this asynchronous data normal?ĪThis time, it's a Fire Strike bench (stock settings, and result here: ): Apart from the usual asynchronous volt/power limits reported between the two cards another curious fact is GPU1 reporting the power voltage limit below it (the stock limit is 1.212v), and while being below GPU2 voltage (1.187v vs.
#Gpu shark voltage limit install
Currently, I'm not sure if I should install the watercooling blocks on them and try to adjust the BIOS to avoid having the variable speeds and see if both voltage and power usage stabilize on the same values, or, if there's actually something wrong with one of the cards and installing the watercooling block would just give me double work for an RMA.
#Gpu shark voltage limit serial numbers
The cards rarelly (if ever) run at the same voltage, despite being the exact same model, having a similar ASIC (around 68%) and having their serial numbers 7 numbers apart. I noticed that GPU 1 usually runs between 10✬ to 20✬ higher than GPU 2, something expected I think, since they're in PCI-E slots 1 and 3. While benching on air, I keep fan speeds at 100% at all times. GPU 2 seems to report voltage and power usage limits more accurately, but occasionally also flags limits before they are reached. It gives the idea that despite the power limit being set to 110, the limit chart flags the limit being reached the moment the card passes the 100 power usage mark.

What I seem to notice so far, apart from the asynchronous data: - GPU 1 limit charts report limits reached for voltage and power usage before the limits are reached. GPU2 never touched 110 power usag e, but you can its limits chart showing a few instances where the limit had been reached. The data isn't synched between the two cards, meaning voltage and power usage isn't synched. If you take a look at the power and voltage data, you'll notice a few things: - The "limit" will pass from 0 to 1 (to report that it has been reached) in moments where said limit hasn't been reached (this is mostly noticeable in GPU 1 - left column).

One on stock and one with an overclock (+87mv, 110 power, +100 core, +250 memory). The attached screenshot is the MSI Afterburner data regarding two Fire Strike Ultra runs.

Anyone else with 2xSLI 970 FTW noticing any asynchronous data between the cards? I speak mainly in regards to the power usage (and its limit report) and the running voltage (and its limit report).
