one card is meant to power down when not in 3d mode

like i said the only reason your scores are low is that your cpu needs overclocking.

I did forget to mention something rather important I am running in eyefinity at 5760x1080

How do your scores match up to these?

Both use i7 systems from,

Mainboard:ASUS P6T Deluxe (Intel X58 Express), LGA 1366, BIOS 1701;
CPU: Intel Core i7-920, 2.67 GHz, 1.25 V, L2 4 x 256 KB, L3 8 MB (Bloomfield, C0);

Intel Core i7-965 processor (3.2GHz: 133MHz x 24)
Asus P6T V2 motherboard (Intel X58 Express with three PCI-Express 2.0 x16 slots)

So i dont think 4GHZ is going to solve your issues.

Do you mean checking with fraps the fps? or have i missed something

Yeah, also you can check against Xbitlabs, 3D mark/unigine scores.

GFX wise on 3dmark they dont seem far out I get 27718 and on thier chart they get 25399 so I seem to be way ahead of that.

Just added full system specs in the first post if it is any use, but to me my system is more than capeable of what I am asking of it... correct me if I am wrong?

Perhaps your just asking too much from the 5870's? thats a rather high res.

If i disable crossfire altogether, it works flawlessly with the single card well odd spot of bother here and there but very rare. ( with eyefinity that is too )

So one 5870 runs 5760x1080 silky smooth?

Aye, apart from for example going to a new scene on Crysis2 it will have a split few seconds of lag.

Have you tried both 5870s in single mode?

tried that, works flawless with a single monitor in 1920x1080

kg648 · 12 May 2011 at 11:36

Think maybe i would just be better going with the single card solution getting something a bit beefier?
