Hey this is my first post here at this wonderful forum, I just hope that someone can answer my question...
Why the hell does my XFX 6950 2gb card have some many issues....
First I will start with about 5 months ago I decided I needed to upgrade for BF3 so I went out and got a XFX 6950 2gb card thinking it would run the game fantastic.... Wrong!!!!! the game ran horribly I stuck it out thinking it was a driver issue... wrong again!!!!, on LOW setting I would be getting 25 FPS!!, that was unberable so I RMA'ed it to XFX and the said they found nothign wrong with it, but to make sure they would send me a new card... well the new card does the same thing, and also both of them when I run the OpenGL benchmark on cinebench, it says too many rendering issues results not valid...
Then if I run Furmark with the 1080p preset it gets 2200 points!!! less then half what it should!, and here is the kicker of it all, my old Powercolor 5770 runs circles around this card... on openGL benchmark on it actually passes it, on Furmark it gets about 2700 points (or so), and on BF3 the same setting gets a playable 30-50 FPS on low were as the 6950 will not go above 30...
I have tried driversweeper(in safe mode), I have tried the beta drivers, I have tried older drivers(same result) and everything under the sun... its just annoying/frustrating to have two cards in a row do this... any ideas? my 5770 runs better... (and yes I reinstalled drivers between card swaps and ran driversweeper (and I have reinstalled windows...)
My Rig is a
Antec Lanboy Air case (so great cooling)
XFX 780i MOBO
Q6600 OC'ed stable at 3.0Ghz
OCZ 750 watt PS...
2x500 GB WD black HD in raid
1x1tb WD black for Backup...
P.S. sorry for my first post being so angry but its so frustrating!!
