Just a quick update. I have emailed gigabyte, Nvidia & EVGA to see if there are any compatibility issues with my rig, no answers thus far.

I have checked my CPU usage during game play (BF3 & 4) and it doesn't go above 71% usage on either.

I did change the SLI bridge and there was an immediate improvement to a max of 80 FPS on BF4 but it wasn't sustained. Alt tabbing definitely has an effect where you can alt tab at 80 FPS and come back to 30. I have had highs of 135 in the chopper on BF4 with an open server with no one else on it, but again not sustained or repeated.

FIFA glitches:
