    Very few games now support SLi and you might actually GAIN performance in games by getting rid of the 2nd 2080ti.  SLi was such a huge boost of sales and marketing for nvidia a few years after they bought 3DFX, and in 2006 with the launch of the 6800U in PCIe allowed them to bring back the "SLi" name since it was property of 3DFX prior to nvidia buying them out and killing them.  Steve, I wouldn't give bad advise.... other then benchmarks like 3dmark, and rendering software coded to use GPU acceleration, and few other niche software programs that can use SLi (some DX12 titles as well) SLi is actually hampering performance as it IS A HUUUGGGEEEEE driver overhead.  Games just arent coded anymore and driver SUPPORT SUCKS SOMETHING TERRIBLE FOR IT!  If you get board, pull the slave card out, and bench any given game that you actually "PLAY" and see where your FPS are at.. might be surprised by an actual frame boost.  Worst case senario, you will see you were getting (for example 120fps with what ever game you bench) with BOTH cards in... remove 2nd card, Bench game again, and now you are getting 118FPS!  Just saying...  a $1000 GPU giving you an extra 2fps... see where im going here?  I have a 2080ti as well in a 3950x build (obviously all watercooled with multi loops) Ive played with SLi for nearly every generation of nvidia GPU, and since Pascal... SLi support is just GONE!

     

    EDIT.. also make sure you are using driver 445.75 or 445.78 as they introduced DLSS 2.0 with MASSSSSIVE GAINS of performance for titles that use DLSS..  So little heads up there.  IF you still have my number, hit me up anytime if need any help

    Hmmm my 1080 ti sli has worked in all most all games iv tried, and most of the time I get 50-90% scaling.

    your not overthinking this at all.....

     

    pretty sure, like you even said yourself, you have one of the most common trucks on the road. this is not a new problem... or even a problem at all- 

     

    by now could have rearranged your engine bay and jammed multiple batteries in there...

     

    but now tell us about how xs is too expensive and youll just get an craptacular poop battery blah blah blaaaaaaahhh

    Hhahahahaahah EPIC.

  7. Your first amplifier - what was it?

    Was a bad ass audiobahn 1200 watt amp that had chrome flames in the out side with 2 fans and a voltage meter right in the amp, was pretty awesome amp in terms of looks. 
     

    Looked like this, I can’t remember what model I had. image.thumb.png.622e7ede7780730cce2c4faed87fbebc.png

      
    And the one I had had cobalt blue illumination.  Was truly beautiful.

    Hey man that sucks! <img src=">

     

    But don't worry it may be something that can be easily explained and quickly remedied. <img src=">

    If you have unexplained strain on the alt/ voltage drop of any type.  One thing to do is to check your batteries. If you have a corrupted cell then you may be dumping current into a battery that will never hold that charge. This in turn can cause you alt to overwork to try to maintain its voltage under a constant load.

     

    One way to check if this is the issue is to isolate the components of the system.

     

    Start by testing the battery under a load tester or "battery health tester" at your local auto parts store. (This should be a free service)

     

    Ill try that out then, Mechman said i can send it and and they will take a look at it because it wont even put out rated voltage of 14.9, it barly can keep it at 14.5......... 

    Ill try it with the d3100 then try it with the d3400 and see if theres a differance.  ANd im gonna swap to stock alt and see if it stops too.

    My head lights, dash lights, instrument cluster lights all flicker at idle and my voltage read out only hits 14.5 now instead of 14.8.  

    it only does this at idle, no amp in the car so no stereo playing while it’s happening. 
     

    voltage gauge I dash goes up and down also with the flickering. 
     

    is the alternator going bad?? 
     

    it didn’t do this for the first 5 months or so I had it.

     

    370 elite in an 05 tahoe and it has 1 wire that goes to acc power.

  17. dd1 question

    in SMD Distortion Detector (DD-1) Topics

    Just make sure if you change any setting in ur deck and I mean any setting to recheck rca out distortion. 

    I had all mine set and unhooked the battery’s to work on wiring upgrades and for some reason it reset all my setting in my deck which has never happened  before.  

    I ended up blowing a coil because time alignment got turned in by default and caused me to clip at volume 32 and I had it set to 40 going full blast.  So 8 past clipping lol.  

    250 dollar mistake I will never do again, I almost cried when it happened.  Now at any high volume it makes a loud ping sound, and if you push down on the dust cap you can hear it rubbing on something.  

    Glade a drop in kit for an NSV4 is only 250 when the sub cost 1150 dollars.
