Pulled the specs on your board....

So you have 3 PCI-E 2.0 slots that run at x16 x16 x1 so that shouldnt be a problem...

Have you tried running GPU-Z and seeing what speed the cards are running at?



I took screenshots of how you can run the render test in GPU-Z if you're not ...

i5-2400k + 2x 6950's unlocked to 6970's on 5760x1080

40-60 on high
25-35 on ultra
27-30 with MSAA turned off.

Sounds like you were dealing with the same issue I had.
what mainboard do you have?

None that I can find.....that problem isnt even mentioned on the website. Just says for 4 but makes it seem like it'll run at 2.0 speeds not 1.1.

I have everything taken care of tho.
Went out and got a i5-2400 and a MSI motherboard that does both cards at x8.
Now everything works like a ...

GPU-z 0.5.8 shows PCI-E 3.0x16 @ x16 1.1

Thats because the mainboards Power Save features kick in and slow down PCI While Idle! Watch while running furmark or any other 3d Application.

even running from Furmark and Kombustor...it shows as PCI-e 1.1

[quote]AB reporting that the cards are doing 80-90% across both cards...
But GPU2 is doing more work than GPU 1, I.e GPU1 can be doing 80 but 2 will be doing 86

That seems normal anough. Can you tell me the 3dmark11 scores for both 1 and 2 gpu's?

funny enough, I cant run 3D-Mark ...

Na, no offense taken.

I have the cable plugged into both cards and Crossfire is enabled.

I have NOT checked Afterburner, but will later tonight and let you guys know. Again, thanks for the help. I can usually figure out most hardware issues on my own but i am stumped.

I have completely reinstalled windows onto the same ssd mentioned. I have played around with 11.12 , 12.1, and most recently the beta 12.2 release.

The only thing I haven't done is trying to install windows to a totaly different drive. I also hadn't checked BIOS for any pci-e options.

I had an earlier thread that relates to this one. If I wasn't supposed to open a new topic, my bad :| - http://widescreengamingforum.com/forum/forums/multi-monitor-gaming/amd-eyefinity-discussions/19365/performance-issues-cfxd-685-s-and-


I decided to upgrade to two 6950's earlier this week ...

Have you tried pulling one monitor that has is using the DP adapter?
Maybe its the adapters themselves.

You can try this setup as well (which worked for me after some fumbling about.

Monitor 1 - DVI
Monitor 2 - VGA Cable to DVI
Monitor 3 - VGA to DP

For some reason unknown to me ...

Yep. 3x1080

My power suppy is a Kingwin 750w for now. My Corsair blew out on me after 3 years of service.

And yea, that's the motherboard I'm using.

Hey, thanks for looking at my post, first off :)

I recently decided to go Eyefinity with crossfired 6850's
I will say that they are NOT the same brand. My first card is the Sapphire 6850...and the second the XFX XXX series (factory OC'd)

The two cards together only get me about 15 frames ...

Thanks....

good info for me. I think I may go for something in the 800 watt area. Would that be enough overhead if I do decide to go Crossfire?

Hello, all.
Been lurking around on the forums for a while and am just now making an account. I know horrible

Anyway, I'm planning out a new build for the new year that's eyefinity-capable.

Here's what I'm going with so far

Antec 300
ASRock X58 Extreme3 LGA 1366 Intel Motherboard ...
