Crossfire system - Cant play games smoothe

Running with the XTX it seems to be struggling a lot using 3D Mark getting 1-8 fps it even went to 0

also there is an unknown device within the system settings so i dont know if that will affect its preformance ... XTX score was 1823 which is very poor indeed going to try and get a new one as its under warrenty still

Strange

Do you definately have the power leads connected to the XTX?

i'm not that dumb

i've tried it in both pcie slots on my mobo and had the same thing also i noticed that my system went slower on booting and the screen lagged like a mofo when moving things across the screen so im going to RMA it, only thing is i dont have a print out of where i bought it from

^^Are you sure?

With only the 'XTX' in, does it show up in device manager? under display adapters.
I get that 'lag' when i scroll down pages with pics on after a format, but only until i install graphics drivers. Once the drivers are installed, that seems to stop so are you sure you have the right drivers for that card?

Yes it showed up all correct no yellow "?"

AMDX23800+ · 25 Nov 2006 at 17:16

Right that's it, send it back!

Btw, did you format or just reinstall/repair windows? I have tried to 'repair' windows before after problems and then i would get 20fps in games even though drivers were installed. However after a format i would get 300+ fps.

even if i did leave the power connector out the post screen goes nuts and says "oi you total n000b i need power DUH" so really cant get wrong

^^ i formated 3 days ago

AMDX23800+ · 25 Nov 2006 at 17:18

LOL^

If u did format then it must be a hardware problem, did it work fine before the format?

Mp4 · 25 Nov 2006 at 17:22

Yup its been plodding along fine , dont know what ive done thats any diffrent

AMDX23800+ · 25 Nov 2006 at 17:26

Give the manufacturer a call

The XTX must have had some bad issues with it , now that its out my games run flawless, just hope i can get a replacement

With Splinter Cell - i get BSOD - BAD_POOL_HEADER
