GTX 560 Ti SLI questions

[Joey23_07]

Hey, i have been having some trouble with my two 560 ti's with fps. I have just recently done a 3dmark11 test for both separately and in SLI and the results are pretty bad.

Firstly, my specs are:

-Core i7 950 @3.07 Ghz
-Kingston HyperX ram 6gb @2000 Mhz
-MSI- X58A-GD45
-1st GTX 560 Ti (Gainward) (both gpu updated to 306.23)
-2nd GTX 560 Ti (Inno 3D)
-Antec Earth watts 750watt PSU
-24'' Samsung BX2450 (1920x1080)

Everything is at stock clocks and speeds.
With Battlefield 3, I am currently running it on High settings at around 40-50 fps, sometimes even lower and once i set it to ultra, major lag kicks in and runs at around 20 or below fps. This is when they are in sli. When running both separately, very similar results are present which is very odd. I decided to run a 3dmark 11 test for both separate and in SLI in Extreme :

-GTX 560Ti (Gainward) -GTX 560Ti (Inno 3D)
->Graphics Score= 1359 ->Graphics Score= 1358
->Physics Score= 5355 ->Physics Score= 5373
->Combined Score= 1818 ->Combined Score= 1821
->3DMark 11 Score= X1509 ->3DMark 11 Score= X1509

-BOTH GTX 560Ti
->Graphics Score=2690
->Physics Score= 5266
->Combined Score= 3210
->3DMark 11 Score= X2877

I had very low fps and lagged like hell. Do these scores mean anything?
What do you guys recommend for me to do to get higher fps, whether it be overclocking cpu or gpu? I thought two 560Ti's beat a single 580?

Thanks

are you using the 1gb vram varient or the 2gb vram variant. theres a slight possibility it can be a vram issue. though the numbers do seem low for Bf3

Sorry, forgot to mention the vram, 1gb
