Hi everyone,
This is my first post here. I have a question if you all don't mind throwing in your input. I've found a ton of threads on this subject and the most common answer is the cards needing updated drivers. I'm sure my drivers are up to date so here goes: I recently upgraded from 2 Radeon 6950's to two 7970's. I thought I would see a noticeable difference in performance (I only play Middle Earth: Shadows of Mordor, which has no CF profile as of yet) so that and benchmark software are all I have to rely on. Here's my setup:
MSI 990FXA-GD80 Mobo
16 gigs PNY 1333 RAM (Bottleneck?)
Samsung 840 Pro SSD (OS)
OCZ Vertext 4 SSD (Programs)
AMD FX 8350 (OC'ed to 4.2 with liquid cooling)
Corsair CX750M PSU (Not enough?)
I have a few thoughts. First of all, maybe it is working properly and it's just not that big of a gain or maybe that game does not run crossfire well at all. Another thing that makes me wonder is that when I ran Novabench on my machine, my score was really low. Something around 800 3d FPS, whereas my friend with a 660ti got 2200 3D FPS. I did run SiSoftware Sandra and it says (I don't klnow much about these things) that my peak performance was around 8.6TFlops and adjusted was 7.74Tflops. I'm not sure if Tflops is an indication of speed?
If anyone has any answers, I'd be super grateful. Thanks in advance for having a look!
