Hi everyone,
I am a noob at crossfire and OCing. I just built a new system last week, and could use some input as to my crossfire performance. Here are the system specs
MSI 870-g45 mainboard
AMD Athlon II X4 propus 3.0ghz processor
ADATA ddr3 1600g ram(2x2gb)
XFX HD 4870 1gb video card x2 running in crossfire mode
Raidmax rx-630ss crossfire ready power supply
Samsung Spinpoint F4 HD322GJ/U 320 GB hdd
Rosewill Challenger gaming atx mid tower case
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit OS
My last PC was a HP with a 4600+ (2.4ghz)dual core, upgraded to run a NVIDIA 8800gts 512mb G92 card, 4gb of pc2 4200
With some very minor OC of the GPU and the processor I was able to squeak out about 15k on 3dmark 06 v1.1.0
I was expecting a pretty significant jump in score with my new setup, however the best I have been able to do is around 16500, which seems awfully low for these 2 cards running in crossfire. Ands thats with the CPU OC to 3.3 ghz.
I do realize that this MOBO runs 1 card in 4x and 1 card in 16x, but the research I have done suggests that I may lose about 20-25% performance on the ONE card running in the 4x slot.
I am using the most current MOBO drivers, as well as the new CCC.
Any non bashing input would be great, thanks!
