Low utilization with multi GPU
#1
As stated, I recently upgraded my cracking rig from 1-1080Ti to 2x1080TI + 3x1070Ti taking advantage of the cheap GPU's with the mining exodus. The issue is, I have the 2x1080Ti's on water, when I only had1 gpu performance was great in hashcat, gpu was 100% utilized and rates were 630Mh/s+ (wpa2) (As this was also my display gpu). After adding the rest of them, and in no matter what order I run them in ( using -d 1,2 for example) each GPU will only get to about 36% utilization and the performance therefore is terrible. Is there an easy fix for this I am missing?

I will add that I have tweaked the cards , power and clock rate etc via afterburner (currently in windows, will test results in linux today as well) and using the benchmark feature (-b) they all put out great numbers, but when using in practice its down to ~36% utilization .. see benchmark below
