[quote]AB reporting that the cards are doing 80-90% across both cards...
But GPU2 is doing more work than GPU 1, I.e GPU1 can be doing 80 but 2 will be doing 86

That seems normal anough. Can you tell me the 3dmark11 scores for both 1 and 2 gpu's?

funny enough, I cant run 3D-Mark
closes right out when i started to run...

I'm considering wiping my machine a 2nd time to be sure everything's clean. just odd.


@sparx, CF bridge is installed.

Another bit of odd news
looking at GPU-Z
Card one showing running PCI-E 2.0 16x
Card two shows running PCI-E 1.1 4x.

I'm considering wiping my machine a 2nd time to be sure everything's clean. just oddities abound here.

it just struck me, what PSU do you have? perhaps your graphics cards aren't getting enough juice?
Also can you confirm that you have got the crossfire bridge installed?

I'm using a Kingwin 1000w PSU

GPU-z 0.5.8 shows PCI-E 3.0x16 @ x16 1.1

Thats because the mainboards Power Save features kick in and slow down PCI While Idle! Watch while running furmark or any other 3d Application.

even running from Furmark and Kombustor...it shows as PCI-e 1.1

In my BIOS i can manually Limit PCI-E Generation to wha i want! You. Sure everything is right in Bios? Maybe save Profile and do a Factory Reset after?

What do internet reviews say about your Mainboard? No Problems?

None that I can find.....that problem isnt even mentioned on the website. Just says for 4 but makes it seem like it'll run at 2.0 speeds not 1.1.

I have everything taken care of tho.
Went out and got a i5-2400 and a MSI motherboard that does both cards at x8.
Now everything works like a greased charm.
I also now have pretty much a spare computer trying to troubleshoot the whole thing.
Thanks.
