Crossfire problems maybe?

[mka_786]

I Think I might be having problems with crossfire still. My 2x HD 7850s are running with a i7 3770 and are getting a 3dmark11 score of about 9500. However people with i5s that haven't overclocked according to 3D mark are beating my score by over 3000? Is there a reson? Faulty graphics cards or something? Or am I just being an idiot?

How is it handling games? what sort of fps are you getting in the big titles? e.g. bf3, skyrim etc

Well I only have a couple of games atm an bf3 is one of them. On one card I can get 40fps average at ultra but with 2 adds the difference is very small? Only a few fps?

ok well you should be seeing more than a minor jump. so first step take out the second card and test it in the first cards position then test both cards together in the new slots. You have installed the caps profiles right? what drivers are you on? what motherboard and psu are you running?

Is crossfire even enabled? You should be seeing more than a few fps increase in games. Right click on the ATI catalyst tool manager in the system tray and hover to the top card and select enable show crossfire when gaming or whatever it is called.

But the BF3 servers have been buggered for at least 3 weeks now, so maybe it is not the best game to test your cards performance consistently hence why I said post your Heaven benchmark scores.
