Hi guys,
I've checked the forum and there are a few questions regarding the 4850x2 but nothing quite like what I'm asking.
I recently purchased the following:
Antec 900 Gaming Case
Asus P6T Deluxe
2 Sapphire 4850 x2
OCZ REAPER 12GB Ram
Corsair HX1000 PSU
INTEL CORE I7 920
2 sata drives (unsure on exact spec but they were the nicer ones)
2 Optical drives (from old machine but ones 50x with write etc the others bluray).
The parts have arrived and I've got the first 4850x2 installed and im running the splash OS built into my motherboard (not installed windows yet). So far all seems fine.
My question relates to the configuration of the 2 4850x2 cards. I need to run dual monitor (and possible HDMI to my living rooms HD LCD flatscreen) and Id like both monitors to give comparable results (ie no one monitors recieving far more of the computers resource then the other)
With the P6T deluxe according to the manual, for dual Graphcis card set-ups I should use 16x PCI slot 1 and 2. I have done this.
I am really trying to find someone who has done similar and can advise me on what settings I should put on to try and balance the performance. This is my first venture into multiple graphics cards and im flying a little blind.
Thanks
Rich
