1 Card = 30-40 fps

2 Cards = 30-35 fps

CPU Is a AMD Phenom X6 3.2Ghz

Motherboard is a Asrock Deluxe 5

1912x1076 (Playing on this one due to refresh rate bug, doesnt change nothing if played at 1920x1080)

BF3 is horrible on crossfire, had to set texture quality to high and disable MSAA, skyrim gets some lags, assassins creed revelations too.

Crysis has been released in 2008 and i Have a 6 Core 3.2Ghz CPU, how can you possible tell me its slow ?

Maybe you should enable Crossfire ?

i'm downloading it, i will post the results here as soon as i test.
 

Along with frames per second Afterburner can also show you the GPU usage of both cards in the onscreen display during gaming, along with many other things. In Crossfire/SLI I believe GPU usage of the two cards should be roughly equal in games that can use it properly.

I think the low minimum fps could be a vram issue me and my friend both had gtx 460's and our low was always under 10 fps as well
