QUESTION: Dual GPU system with slight variation on base clock speed cause panic / blue screen Win 11?

Hey Cats,

Question - one of our systems has two 3090 GPUs; GPUs were acquired back in the crunch; one is an EVGA and one is an ASUS and they both have slightly different base clocks speeds:

1740MHz
vs
1800MHz

Trying to root out a kernel panic can always be fun and thinking perhaps this could be the cause - plausible? Only one monitor - dual GPUs are for video processing / rendering / debayering.

Win 11 Pro Workstations OS.

TIA!

Can you confirm IF the issue goes away when removing one of the GPU’s ?

Just wanna see if maybe there is a power issue with using both GPU’s at the same time.

I was going to test that next - although it is rather intermittent.

I wasn’t thinking it was power - using a 1600W Corsair AX1600i which shouldn’t have an issue supplying them both.

Correct you would think that would not be the case, but what if one of the GPU’s is having some kind of power related issue or just needs a cleaning and have some new thermal paste applied ?

Are there GPU benchmarking apps that will push dual setups? Superposition and similar just do the display GPU I believe?

Thinking if I stress both GPUs that’ll force a panic if they are the root cause.

How about trying Furmark, isn’t that a GPU Power Virus testing app ?

Looks like another single GPU tester?
