Performance issues

[ElliottJames]

Playing at 2560x1440 on a 6950 2GB unlocked to 6970

Rest of spec 8Gb ram
i3 @ 4.4ghz
600W PSU

Just wondering how I can increase performance? I was originally getting 100FPS maxed out with SWTOR but I'm around 40-90 now. What would be the best way to increase performance? Going Crossfire 6950s?

So if you were getting 100fps before what's changed?

Yeah you could through more gpu's at the problem but surely it's better to work out the root cause of the problem?

Nothings changed, when I installed the card yesterday was getting 100fps on my new Hazro monitor. Then today it's reaching max of 70fps.

As far as I know something has changed because you've moved the card into a different PCI-E slot.

That, however, should offer better performance if anything because you've gone from a x4 slot to a x16 slot.

Have you tried switching back to the HD 6950 BIOS to ensure there are no problems with unlocking the card?

Also have you checked the power cables are securely fitted to the card?
