I have two 670s in sli, but cant understand why when I use the txaa as a antiliasing all I get is bad performance as if I were using a single card. All I notice is this: when I use a different antialiasing the two cards can get to 100% GPU usage when I use the txaa, can't get past 60%. The sli works well and it's not bottlenecked, since in all game fps doubled ( at least when I use fxaa, msaa or smaa). I have a fx8320 overclocked at 4.3Ghz, 8 gigs of ram (cl10-10-10-24) overclocked at 1866, corsair cx750m supply the entire build the power and a 990fx sabertooth by Asus. I was wondering... why this weird behaviour?

The reason TXAA doesn't scale as well with Sli, from my understanding, is, it uses sample data from other frames to achieve its quality.

So with any sli only the msaa and the other antialiasing filters work, right? I wasnt aware of that. I think ill sell my two GTX 670s for 970. The vram limits me in some games.
