My sli msi gtx 980 ti +zotac 980ti refernce =bad results!?

Also please take a look at my thread that I posted a while back:

Why is my Ice Storm score very low?

 

[moonbogg]

indeed, in Ice Storm 1.2 I get around 150K score but if I enable SLI that score drops down by 50%

I have a strong feeling it's a driver issue since we both are experiencing this with the 980 Ti.

Furthermore, please note that the 353.xx drivers all have horrible Throttling issues

See the rants here:

Welcome to the nVIDIA Throttling Zone

Screw the benchmarks. Test it with a game. Also, I haven't experienced any throttling.

3DMark11 benchmarks are fine, even 3DMark benchmarks show a 40% increase in scores with SLI, it's just that darn Ice Storm benchmark that halfs the score when SLI is enabled. Possibly the same reason that is crippling Ice Storm is the reason he is getting bad results in that particular game.\


I tried it on NFS Most Wanted at max settings on a 1440p resolution and it was buttery smooth.

I would go ahead and use Fraps to record some of your game play FPS in NFS and other games (newer would be good as a second game to check) and see if you scores are increasing properly from one card to two.

Here is the fix!! Finally!!! Thanks a lot to Mr. Ketchup79 who helped me with his suggestions and performing tests on his own system:
