My belief is that the difficulty stems from all of my devices being connected to my secondary graphics card, which it isn't meant to handle.

It would present a problem if multi-GPU SLI is activated, but it should not be relevant if SLI is deactivated. Furthermore, if that doesn't resolve the issue and GPU utilization remains minimal, examine the CPU usage per core.

That was precisely what I communicated in my initial message.

Dispose of your two 1080 Ti cards and acquire a 2080 Ti – you’ll never have to question which graphics card to use.

You’d also experience noticeably improved results in most games, as a solitary 2080 Ti is compatible with virtually every title, unlike two 1080 Tis which aren’t. Furthermore, you’ll draw considerably less energy from your power outlet.

In the best-case scenario for gaming, and only for games that fully utilize SLI, you might observe a 30% performance boost from adding a second card. However, this number is quite low these days, due to the fact that most game developers are no longer dedicating sufficient time or resources to SLI and Crossfire testing, driver support, or Nvidia’s involvement.

For games lacking this compatibility, frame rates can be significantly lower—often less than half—compared to a single card, and even further reduced when compared to a single card that is typically 40-50% more powerful than the combined output of an SLI configuration.

Although this isn’t a formal, professional assessment, and I rarely undertake such analyses, this individual offers a remarkably clear explanation that seems quite accurate. Considering all factors, it appears to provide an exact reflection of the situation.

1080 TI versus 1080 TI SLI versus 2080 TI Personal Review

After carefully considering my options for a considerable period, and finally succumbing to the urge to upgrade, I have recently acquired a new Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Founder’s Edition. Previously, I was utilizing two Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 Tis in an SLI configuration, delivering excellent performance at 2K resolution…
