SLI 780 ti's. One card is idle the other is going flat out?

I am running 2 Gigabyte gtx 780 ti cards in sli. I have not had any issues until 2 days when playing shadow of mordor. I started the game weeks ago, so it is a new issue. I am getting some artifacting and the game freezes after a period of play. Anywhere between 20 minutes and an hour and a half.

I have tried looking up some fixes for this and nothing worked, so I decided to monitor the cards while playing the game.

VGA 1 sits at 324MHz and 30 c doing nothing.

VGA 2 is going crazy boosting up to 1228MHz and the temps through the roof.

The cards are factory clocked at 1020MHz and 1085MHz boost

Any ideas why this is happening ? or is Gigabytes oc guru feeding me wrong information and something else is at fault ?

One other thing, I am using a 3 way sli bridge to bridge the 2 cards. From I have read this not an issue but I could be wrong.

In the nvidia control panel does it say it is currently in sli? sometimes driver updates alter settings.

The latest driver install disabled sli. Thanks for the help. I will run the game again and see if I still have the same issues.
