2gb 6950 crossfire benching

[Ashfield]

What benchmarks should I run to see if everything is working as it should be with my setup?

Cheers,
Ash

unlock them and you would beat the 6990 by a few frames.

edit: use futuremark. or unigine heaven

x2912 in 3dmark 2011 - 1920x1200 full test

does that sound about right? got an i7 920 @ stock and 12gb ram

Not unlocked or overclocked the cards (yet )

It looks to be working

Why is your 920 @ stock?

 

[Ashfield]

Don't really understand what I need to do to overclock it and it be stable. Last time I messed about with bios stuff was with old athlons, would certainly give it a go if anyone can advise?

With such a pair of cards at stock what game can you not run smoothly? I see no point to crank it up further. If you need to benchmark, why not go for the 580 lightning's or 6970 lightning's for 4-way SLI/CF?

Was only benchmarking as its the first time ive done CF and wanted to know if it was running as it should be. Not going to flash the cards unless I run into a reason to need to.

Interested in overclocking the i7 though, just have no idea how to, new settings are bit of a mystery to me

Doesn't MSI Afterburn have an overlay showing how much GPU usage your using at anyone time?

Free performance! Dual-BIOS chip so nothing can go wrong


And yea, MSI Afterburner can do load/temps on-screen.
Settings > Monitoring tab > Find the ones you want and tick Show in On-Screen Display.

(Keep in mind theres a slight overhead for rendering it on-screen.)

Would be awesome, but also pretty much pointless.

But the power supply for vram is not so strong as real 6970s, and if you are not careful with the vram clock/voltage you could reduce the longevity significantly. Also you risk getting caught by the 99% bug
