Is this normal? TDP for 2nd GPU is higher?

[Berryracer]

I had flashed the 980 Ti SC BIOS on my 2 980 Ti GPUs and they were rock stable.

Today I ran Furmark and noticed that it is reporting TDP of GPU 2 is 30% while GPU 1 is only 5.8% and the temp of GPU 2 is like 15C higher than GPU one which doesn't make sense, I wasn't playing any games or running any benchmarks, just in the desktop.

So I flashed the original VBIOS back which I had saved before just to make sure it's not the SC VBIOS that's causing this but the situation didn't change...

what gives?

Nevermind, I think it's this stupid Furmark.

GPU-Z says otherwise:

GPU 1:

GPU 2:

I am not sure why you are running Furmark on your GPUs. It is like suicide for your GPU and has no real indication of stability. Run some games like Crysis 3, or Valley, 3dmark etc.

TBH - I have never run Furmark on any of my GPUs. Its like running Prime95 AVX on Haswell.

Yes sorry I didn't know that until someone just told me yesterday on NBR forums that I am killing my GPU running that.

Thanks for this info man, I almost was about ready to go and buy to new Titan Xs thinking my GPU(s) were faulty.
