Ok guys here’s my dilemma
# 1 I am a perfectionist when it comes to system building.
#2 I can’t figure out why my system is not benchmarking as high as it theoretically should…
Here is my current build:
932 Master HAF – (I really like RED)
AMD 1090T OC’D 3.8
Corsair H50 Water Cooler
8 GB GSkill 1600
Gigabyte GA-890FXA-UD5
2 Diamond AMD 6870
1 TB WD 7200 SATA II
Steel Series Ikari Mouse
Logitech G15 Keyboard
Asus 27" LCD -LED backlit
Current 3DMark06 Score 20103 (Default Settings)
My problem with this is I get 19866 with only one card!!! I didn’t pay $260 for 237 points…
WHAT am I doing wrong!!! I know that the 6870 are great cards I’ve read all the reviews and the benchmarks… does having an i7 REALLY make the MUCH of a difference? And if it does can someone please explain to me how i7s increase the performance of crossfire/SLI so much? Because I really don’t get it…
