Gay screen, bottleneck, issue
I'm not very familiar with computers, but I have a machine built by xidax. Here are the details: I've been having problems closing games or minimizing them, and sometimes while they're running. My screen turns grey, then black, and back to grey. I see an error saying the monitor lost connection. I used DDU to clean and reinstall my drivers, but that didn't solve the problem. After installing MSI Afterburner, I noticed one of my GeForce 1080 Ti cards was running at 99% while the other was only 1-2%. I turned off SLI and ran just the one at 2%, which went to full speed. It seems the card itself is working fine.

Any feedback would be appreciated. Destiny 2 won't run for more than a few minutes without going grey.
Under 3D global settings, select 'Single display performance mode' in 'Multi-display/Mixed-GPU acceleration'. Also, ensure you pick 'Prefer maximum performance' in 'Power Management Mode.'
It seems the firm that increased the GPU speeds went too far. You might want to reduce the overclock or adjust the fan settings to improve cooling. They’re likely overheating.
It seems the company that enhanced the GPUs might have gone too far. Either reduce the overclock or adjust the fan settings to improve cooling. They’re likely overheating. I increased my fan speed and it resolved the grey screen problem. The GPU bottleneck issue persists—any advice?
