I have a 1000w G@ PS and set power to maximum performance. Anyone have ideas? Thanks, Rusty #1 14 Replies Related Threads

(both items below) GPUs -- ? Windows -- ? If you upgraded to Win 10, you may be best served by clean install If you upgraded GPUs ---- did you run DDU ? did you install the GeForce Experience software, when loading the drivers? Nvidia 3D drivers ? Nvidia Sound ? I run DDU, and custom install the EVGA / Nvidia drivers --- only selecting PhysX and the actual GPU driver, none of the other "stuff" and select clean install. Are you running any OC software -- ? Precision ? Afterburner ? If you upgraded GPUs, uninstall OC software, run DDU, clean install driver & PhysX ONLY, then reinstall latest OC software post edited by Cool GTX - 2016/07/27 15:46:51 Learn your way around the EVGA Forums, Rules & limits on new accounts Ultimate Self-Starter Thread For New Members I am a Volunteer Moderator - not an EVGA employee https://foldingathome.org -->become a citizen scientist and contribute your compute power to help fight global health threats *RTX Project* EVGA X99 FTWK *Nibbler* EVGA X99 Classified EVGA 3080Ti FTW3 Ultra #6

Still low usage in one or two games but mostly every game is getting around 70-85ish usage. Thanks for your help guys! Also I need to get the HB bridge ASAP as I am still using the EVGA Pro bridge for the time being. #13
