Does anyone know if this is normal? My time spy extreme and time spy scores are just horrible running these 2 kingpins in SLI. When running the gpuz rendering test the bottom card stays about 80 watts but the top card goes to over 300 watts. When running like furmark both cards jump to pretty much equal wattage as well and they also do in time spy extreme but yet my graphics score is just pitiful. In port royal they both boost to around 700 watts as well. In a nutshell port royal single card, port royal sli, time spy extreme single all perform as they should but time spy extreme sucks to all get out and i can't figure out why. In this gpuz shot the pcie slot power on the one card stays at zero all the time even during benchmarking. This photo is of the cards at idle.

In this shot here i had time spy extreme running while the gpuz sensors were going. The same card is still at 0 for the pcie slot power. But yet the card is at around 300 watts. I switched the cards around and the same thing was happening in the same bus slot so it doesn't seem to be a gpu problem i don't believe. I'm wondering if this is a side effect issue with running the kingpins on an AMD board with a threadripper.  I went ahead and did this test here  https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/support-hardware/How-to-Enable-and-Test-NVIDIA-NVLink-on-Quadro-and-GeForce-RTX-Cards-in-Windows-10-1266/#DownloadNVLinkTesttoVerifyNVLinkFunctionality    and it shows everything is ok so i'm a bit confused.

Threadripper isn't the issue... https://www.3dmark.com/spy/13065779

Yeah i'm not sure whats going on, my cpu score in time spy extreme is like over 16000 but my graphics score is feeble so i'm only getting a total score of little over 12000. I'm down in the like low 70s for frames per second in both graphics tests and each card is running at around 700 watts and 2265 core clock. I'm really baffled, reinstalled drivers, reinstalled 3d mark software, just really tickin me off.

What happens when you run the cards at stock?

On my godlike Z490 , there is a seperate power connector just for PCEi.
Could it be a power issue on your
MOBO?
Saying that, my KPE sli scores were pants .

Sparetimepc is running dual 1300w psu's I'm pretty sure he has every single power connector filled on his motherboard.

This is the first board I have used that had a separate, dedicated PCEi power connector.
Maybe his board is not up to it ?
It is an AMD after all .

His board supports 3-way sli and 3-way crossfire, so it should be up to it.
