R4e extra pci-e power conector?

[LiveOrDie]

I'm running SLI GTX 680s + Asus phoebus sound card + GTX 650 and I'm not getting 100% usage out of my SLI looking at my G19 my cards will run around 50% in borderlands 2 and 60-70% in BF3 and some times i will get frame drops below 40 in borderlands 2 so do i need to connect the extra power connector on the board?

Remove your physics card and you will see improvement. 🙂

Yeah I know that sounds wrong but there you are give it a try and you will see.

I only picked up my phsyx card a few days ago so i don't think it related to that any other ideas HiViz? BF3 doesn't use Phsyx 0% usage.

Yeah I know mate, talking more about boarderlands 2. 🙂

Connect the extra PCIe connector you certainly have nothing to loose. And in Boarderlands 2 CPU frequency provides a meaningful gain to FPS during the hectic fights.

Honestly I do not know why your system is dropping frames, it should not due to the two cards.

Seems like a lot of people are having the same problem i thought maybe because i'm using all the slots i mite need extra power, But the game does seem to use any nvidia GPU to is max parenteral.

How is arrange your GPU, I means in witch slot you put the 680 and in witch slot you put the 650 ?

FPS drop spikes could be linearly related to DPC latency spikes. Check your DPC latency with Latencymon.

Lose the 650 and apply the Nvidia PCI-E 3.0 patch. Also clock your CPU higher. BL2 is very CPU dependant.

Ill test with Latencymon and i have my 680s in slot 1 and 3 the 650 is in slot 4 , and like i said i was getting this problem before i installed the 650 and already have that patched installed.
