New Asus 3870 x2 need help

[infamous786]

Hello chaps, im new to the forum, i would like some advice please

I have recently purchased a new graphics card, but im not sure if its working correctly due to some people saying the 3d mark score im getting is a bit low.

Spec is E6600 @ 3.2
P5W DH Deluxe
Creative (SB X-Fi)
2 Gig Corsiar DDR2 XMS2-6400C5
2* raptor 150 gig Raid 0
1 500 gig WD hdd
Vista ultimate 64 bit
Asus 3870 x2 1gb
Thermeltake 750 watt tough power
Basicly im gettin around 10450, in 3d mark 06, most games play good, but i had a few problems at the start with it crashing in games and 3d mark but i cleaned all previous drivers out and its stable. but somebody said to me it might be the 2nd gpu is not working correcly.

Any advise would be appreciated.

Hello and welcome to the forums mate

What resolution have u tested with 3DMARK 06 ? if ut was 1280x1024 then its low, because i get 13k and little more with that resolution

What FPS do u get in games ?

Idk if you have to enable crossifre with that card in the control panel, worth a look though.


Check the card and CPU temps.
