Greetings all,
Due to some recent tests, it seems that my Crossfire performance is suffering. I had ran a test, more specifically a benchmark for a friend ( Final Fantasy xiv) and came out with what I thought were respectable results:
cpu: 980x @ 4.6ghz
gpus: 2 x 6970s @ 950 / 1425 mhz
My initial score was 8566 (1920 x 1080).
After talking with some others who have ran the benchmark, it sounds like I am quite low as to where I was supposed to be. I had mentioned that I was running the benchmark while still displaying information on my 2nd screen and that was thought to be part of the issue. I disabled the 2nd screen (I actually unhooked it from the pc) and had windows detect which displays were running afterwards.
My new score ended up at 8918.
It was then suggested that I try each card by itself to see how they performed.
and
were the results.
If both cards are getting 5k+ in this benchmark, does 8918 sound low? Scaling wise, thats a loss of 10.1% roughly.
Each time I tried the benchmark, I used driversweeper, rebooted, and installed CCC with 11.8 drivers. If anyone else with dual 6xxx cards would like to try the benchmark, please do! I would like to compare the results if possible to another system.
Benchmark can be found here: http://www.finalfantasyxiv.com/media/benchmark/na/
To use SLI or Crossfire, you have to copy a file called d3d9.dll into the Data directory and rename FFXivWinBenchmark.exe to either 3DMark06.exe (for ATI users) or Crysis.exe (for nVidia users).
It can be found here: http://translate.google.com/transla...seesaa.net/article/153685727.html&sl=ja&tl=en
By doing this, you can run the test in fullscreen mode and therefore use Crossfire or SLI.
Also if anyone has any suggestions as to how to install the cards and get their maximum performance including Crossfire tips, that would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you.
