ive tried telling the customer similar to what your saying, originally i told him to go with a single card setup, now he has just rang me saying he is thinking of getting rid of the 7950's and getting a gtx 680, and i agree about the 60hz monitor statement you said above well i cant see no difference in 60 and 120hz.
thanks mate
hey smartey, his system only seemed to hang on a certain driver (s) with crossfire enabled matey, has for the lock ups i dont think this has been experienced as of yet.
cheers bud
If the system is locking up on the splash screen that isn't the video card it is a memory issue or something hardware related not GPU
If it was a GPU issue you would have heard a loop noise then distortion and possible restart so it isn't the GPU
Im thinking if he has massive fram drops and micro stuttering is due to drivers or even yet have it overclocked to high sometimes overclocking a piece of hardware to high has reverse effects
He can try a single gpu if that isn't the problem test the PCI slots with another card for testing sake it could be a bad pci -e interface port
when i first got my 7970's i had lag micro stttering you name it but in the end it worked it self out drivers and tweeking
Hey Solar, he was using my 480's why i went on holiday and had no issue at all, he tried each card individually incase of a fault gpu and it ran smooth, its just weird, thats why i thought could it really be a driver issue.
thanks bud for your help
Uh no.. you cannot debate how your organs functions, eyes cannot parceive past 60hz. Period.
And you really don't need multi cards to max out BF3... at all.
solar hes using a z77 extreme6 asrock board mate
those come with 3.0 slots too
wierd well there is nothing else to say about it then the 7950's just didn't treat him right
gonna mark has solvedthanks again for all your help, very kind of you
sorry to bump this thread but have you considered running gpu benchmarks and comparing with other dual 7950s to see if they match or are more or less the same
