Drop frames when using Mercury Transmit Threadripper 1950X, dual GTX 1080

I build a new PC with Threadripper 1950X, 2x GTX 1080, 64GB Ram, nvme system drive, Ssd for cache, and Raid 0 SSD drive for storage.

Currently using PPro 2017, Windows 10 Pro 64bit with latest nVidia drivers.

Problem is when using mercury transmit to 2nd monitor fullscreen playback, I'm experiencing choppy/stuttering/drop frames during playback. It went better when i turned mercury off and switching to software only.

I've tested all solutions I found on the forum, from turning off HPET, rendering my timeline, rolling back gpu drivers, setting input audio to no input and bunch of others stuff. I've also tried upgrading to PPro 2018 and 2019, still no luck.

I believe its something to do with the Cuda and Premiere.

I ran Davinci Resolve and it plays back so smooth and powerful.

Can someone please help me cause i hate migrating into another NLE.

PS: currently working on 4K H264 files which I found my PC is powerful enough to play it back smoothly without mercury transmit or in another program like Davinci Resolve

    Neil, thanks for dropping by. Sorry for the late reply as I am in a entirely different timezone (GMT+7).

    Your feedback somehow leads me to the answer. You asked wether SLI was on. It wasn't. But I don't even have that kind of settings on nVidia control panel. Only surround and PhysX. Then I check again the mobo's manual and found myself a jerk. I stupidly put the 2nd GPU on a x16 slot but that slot is running on x4 speed. I should've put it in the one below it.

    Now with a few of nVidia control panel optimization, all is well. Case closed. Thanks again Neil on driving me to the right direction.

    Only thing I can think of is wondering if those are in a linked SLI mode? That isn't well handled by PrPro.
