System ISSUES

[Falconik]

Hey all......... Thanks in advance.

Here are my pc specs:-

PSU: Cosair HX850w Modular
CPU: Phenom II 1090t
RAM: DDR3 Geil EVO Corsa 1866
GPU: HD 6870Black Edition and XFX 6870 on Crossfire.
Mobo: Sabertooth 990FX
OS: Windows7 Ultimate 64bit
My system is running supremely cool before you ask 17 at idle... When gaming way below standard temps.

All drivers up to date.

Now to my problem... Basically I started off upgrading my pc with just changing my graphics card... then I decided to crossfire, Which then lead me to have to change my Power supply.. And so on and so on.....
My pc still didnt run any games smoothly... bf3... doesnt even run heroes of newerth on constant 125 fps like it should.

So today i bought the only part i didnt upgrade, the mobo, to the sabertooth.. Hoping it would solve the performance problem.. Nothings changed??? Any ideas people???

Cpu is 17 at idle... and thats one thing i havent tried.. one card at a time... Not for one of the cards anyway i will try that now.

Well on highest settings 1600 resolution..... Im running quite smooth but really juddery then if i turn AA on x2 or x4.. my fps drops for 25-30???

Im using 8gb or ram

Sorry i use 1900x1200 Got it wrong.
Just used both cards seperately both had same performance.. I have only tried Heroes of Newerth with my new mother board since this morning and as we all know cross fire is buggy with certain games. So i will download bf3. and skyrim and try performance on both of those tomorrow

What were you saying about RAM? Could it be the RAM?
