So I read through most of the posts and skimmed some so forgive me if this has been covered but! I know this sounds stupid but I just want to be sure as it was the first thing that came to mind. In Nvidia control panel SLI default is disabled you do have it enabled correct. Just wanted to be sure.
Yes it is enabled :) what is the best Sli bridge out there? I have the RoG Sli bridge :(

The high bandwidth bridges are the best, like ones from EVGA. For what you're doing though you're unlikely to see that much benefit from going to it. At 4K you might at times, but at any res below that you probably won't.
 
In The Division I often had that bug where changing the video settings and hitting apply during a game would crash it. It's not your video card.

I have no doubt that at 4K the display port 1.2 cable will be helpful. On my 4K monitor it was necessary to get up to 60 hz refresh.




thank you. so i put the product on auto-notify because it is not available... :( also i even had screen tearing issue on my desktop when i first changed the res to 4k and it said it can only do 30hz. this is why i had to buy a display port 1.2
 
i just don't want any laggy res while gaming on the division is it because i only have 24gb memory ram?does that make any difference?
 
 
....i'll try to record from my phone if i can and post it here somehow....

If EVGA restock is slow, these also work well  Nvidia

MSI Afterburner or Precision X OC will show your card's temps.  You can configure either to show it in a On Screen Display while you're gaming.  Or place the app on a second monitor if your are running more than one.

If you decide to buy a HB SLI bridge just be sure to get the one with the right spacing for your motherboard and where the two cards are placed in it. I don't know what the correct spacing for your board is, but as an example, on my FTW K board the two PCI-E slots designed to be used for SLI require the 2-slot spacing.

I wouldn't worry too much about the SLI bridge. Just put the EVGA one on auto-notify and pick it up eventually when it becomes available again. There's really no rush, since the benefits you see with it will be modest.

I'm glad you're learning a lot here. That's the way to go. If you keep at it, when it comes time to upgrade your system you'll be able to make informed choices and pick the right gear for what you want. For now your machine will be fine, even if you might have done a little better with some of the choices. It's certainly a pretty rocking machine, whatever else might be said about it.

Guy! So i was just messing around with the monitor settings and decided to enable the freesync..... it did only mentioned AMD on the option screen but i enabled it regardless.... and all of a flipping sudden it switched my monitor to native 4k (3840x2160) !! no screen tearing and it is running on 60hz! i am like super happy right now :)))))) unfortunately my second screen only offers 1080P and running on dvi cable....going to sell that monitor and buy the same 4k which i currently have... finally that's something to be happy about atm... now time to play the division for 2 hours atleast to see if my graphic cards are faulty or not...wish me luck guys!! <3
 
P.S - also how i can show on my screen how many fps my game is executing? :/

okay so i ran a benchmark on the division and it gave me.
 
AVG FPS - 9.0
TYPICAL FPS - 9.0
AVG CPU - 22%
AVG GPU - 25%
 
is that how far my pc can push? pretty embarrassing...... Also after running msi after burner, my Card 1 was around 70c and Card 2 was around 30c ....

Did you enable SLI? Sounds like the second card is idling.
