Titan X benchmark

Asus P9X79 standard.  Not the WS version.  It has 2 x16 full speed slots.  This card should not cap performance using 2 GPU right?

its because you use multi GPU, you "never" get 100% scaling with multiCPU-GPU enviroment, its not limited with PCI-E speed...

Wishgranter, thats what i thouught to.  How ever some software seems to have this worked out,  In Octane render you get 100% better performance or very close to it.

I agree with Wishgranter, it's not a PCI bandwidth issue.

If you look at the GPU load graph during processing, you can see that the work is done in batches. A GPU gets a batch of work and has high load for a minute or two, and then goes idle for a short while until it gets a new batch. At the end of the Dense Cloud reconstruction one GPU is often idle while the other is finishing the last batch.

So with a single GPU you have often 100% utilization, and with two GPUs it's just less efficient.

Ahh ok,   that explains a lot.  The longer the job the more even the card performance becomes i have noticed.
