you can disable #2 by the dipswitch on the mobo and see if that is bether.
if you have had bether performance on erlyer drivers i would then go back and use those.

hey grassy...just remind me mate...you got the extra PCIe power plugged in...The EZ plug? And the cards are in first and third red slot with the sound card in the black slot 2B? Have you tried running in Gen 2.0 and gen3.0 and seeing if there is a difference?

Ok good stuff but can you check in GPUz if your second card in the third red slot is running x16 or x8....I think if you run the soundcard in the bottom red slot it will reduce lane 3 to x8......you can run it in 2B and still have x16 x16 on first and third red......

I have moved the sound card into the 2b slot and its still the same. The bus interface confuses me a little too, but I think it reads like that because the cards have a built in power saving feature . One of these functions reduces the PCI-E Express link speed and width to lower levels, so as to conserve power when the card is idle. I think you are quite right my friend they seem to be resting. I think someone told me that on this forum about a year ago, but yet again my memory is not very good.:rolleyes:
Hmm...now I'm confused....are the chips just resting cos only one of them runs the render....what if you run unigine in a window or something like that?
