Hello all,
I just finished upgrading my system to a crossfire HD 7850 setup. Everthing is working so far (woop), however, I am not quite happy with the results. After running some benchmarks (Valley Benchmark for example) I seem to be getting a 5 to 7 fps increase. I didnt tweak anything so far, but it seems quite low to me. How can I increase the preformance? I know my processor is a bottleneck, but is it really that big of a bottleneck? Would it help if I overclock my CPU? How much can I overclock my GPU's?
Any help is extremely appriciated
My setup:
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 965
Motherboard: Asrock 970 Extreme 3
RAM: 16 gb Cruccial Ballistix 1600MHz
GPU's: MSI HD7850 2gb at 900MHz
XFX HD7850 2gb, slightly overclocked to 900MHz to match MSI card
PSU: Enermax Thriathlor Eco 650W
OS: Windows 10
