I have 2 670 FTW but the scalability is very very bad, I always see both GPU usage at 60~70%, I'm a little bit regret for taken this 2 GPU's and not 2 HD7970 which my friend see always 99% use of each one mad.gif

Have you tried raising your OC on the i7? I doubt it's that, but it might be. That isn't normal usage in SLI. In what games benchmarks is this behavior exhibited?

Ive seen people with great scaling on those. And scaling has nothing to do with the usage. Up the overclock on your cpu and watch the magic happen.

But the usage keeps the same, I only see more than 90% usage in Heaven

And your PSU is in good condition? It's a plenty powerful PSU, but sometimes you get a bad part or something happens.

What are temps on the proc and cards?

I don't know what to say, I've never had SLI before. These should scale just as well as the AMD cards though.

These cards keep Heavein at 100FPS all the time? If so that makes sense, but I don't think I've seen that before.

I don't have vsync on, sometimes I get 200fps, but it stays between 80~110fps. I have vsync off in game but don't know in Nvidia control painel, let me check thumb.gif

Proc at 4.5Ghz using Prime95 go to 64ºC full load and 30ºC idle.

Cards stay below 65~60ºC

Nope, Heaven varies a lot
