Are your cgpu and sli drivers all the latest versions and working properly?

oh and two things:
Why did you buy an extreme chip if you aren't going to OC?
Why did you spend £700+ on GPUs and buy a 680i :|

Dont let 3Dmark ruin your life, it only makes people miserable. Its the fps that counts.
Why did you buy 2 9800 gx2's what resolution are you on.

 

[redhandmanc]

didnt note the FPS - what fps rate should i be happy with

they came in the system - changing the board in any case

 

[engstrom0304]

depends on the game

 

[engstrom0304]

i dont like 3d mark

 

[redhandmanc]

yes - realised after i posted

will have alook on Farcry

 

[redhandmanc]

just checked FPS on 3dmark06

on the first video

res of 19 x 12 - FPS as high as 77 and lowest was about 37

 

[engstrom0304]

yeh well I havent used 3d mark 06 so what about far cry or other, what fps do you get on GAMES

But that fps doesnt sound bad at all

 

[redhandmanc]

Loaded Frap - just started Farcry - In a gun fight with 4 bots all shooting - was 170 plus

 

[engstrom0304]

with my single 3870 x2 card i get about 150, but dont be alarmed, far cry doesnt use sli well at all, you may find that the results will be better if you disable sli anyway. Sli is a WASTE of money
