Just Installed crossfire.....questions help asap please

[bonoscot]

Hey guys. i have Just setup my crossfire......setup:

Coolermaster 932 Haf
Thermaltake Psu 1000wt modular
Ati radeon 6970
HIS Ice 6970
8 GB Ram
I7 860 2.6



I seem to have set it up,although it just doesnt seem right.

What Fps should i be getting in Bf3 if im running at Medium settings on 5760x1080 .............Ballpark figure

Im getting 140 in team fortress 2 is that about right?

When i run Heaven benchmark, i get an average FPS of 31 and 16 in eyefinity .............WTF


I have latest driver and latest CC,i am about to install cap 3 as well.

All this money and i dont feel right about it.maybe its just me.

How do i know that both my cards are running at full potential?

Try running a benchmark (ex. 3dmark 2011) and comparing it to similar systems.

With a i7-2600k at 4.5 ghz and 2 flashed 6950's (stock clocks) I think I get around 30-50 fps on BF3 all medium at 6008x1080. These are just rough estimates. It depends on the map, amount of smoke, and where I'm looking etc. It's a pretty demanding game. I don't think anyone can run it on eyefinity/surround high/ultra settings with good frames on current generation cards. The 7970's should be able to fare better though.

easiest way to compare is: shut crossfire Off an run on single GPU. Play a game run benchmark. Turn Crossfire On. Redo benhmark!

Install Fraps, goto Benchmark sections, check FPS, Max Min, Frametimes. And test with that! 30seconds session should be enough!

Oh and after you're done make sure to .zip all these Frametime.cav created by Fraps and upload them for me xD i realy could use them!( mark which is CF/nonCF Eyefinity/Normal)

[Haldi]

You got from 43fps to 73! Thats around 80% more! Thata good. Isn't it?

The only thingvthat makes me wonder is the mim FPS of 9.....
