So I got my second 6970 today and think I might be doing something wrong.
I've got an AMD octo-core at 3.8 ghz.
8 gigs of ram
Windows 8 64 bit
950 watt PSU
I've got both cards plugged in properly with a crossfire cable, they're detected in CCC and crossfire is enabled. But when I tried some games right before leaving for class, I saw no gains what so ever fps wise for borderlands 2 or battlefield 3.
Borderlands 2 gets around 40-50
Battlefield 3 gets 30-40 still.
I'm gonna try some more scientific fps evaluations from tomb raider when I get home.
In MSI afterburner I'm seeing GPU usage of about 40-50 percentage respectively for both cards. Is this normal? Any other ways to check GPU usage that may be more accurate?
I've got plenty of juice for them both with a 950 watt PSU so I don't think its that.
I'd appreciate any advice that can get me some better FPS.
