Not without having another system to test it in. Most small PC shops have one of those little PSU testers and should be able to test it for you without charging you anything. If the previous owner had it for three years then it is likely...

How long have you had the Power Supply? Sounds like a possible blown Capacitor. do you have any other parts laying around or know someone who has a computer around to test it with? Alternatively, if there are small pc shops in your area,...

pretty sure its either something to do with my install of BF3 or my OS specifically. Tried 13.1 whql and 12.11 beta (which i know worked before) and am still getting the same result....

Crysis 3 is still working properly and GPU-z render test confirms PCIE 3.0 on both cards.

I'm fairly certain the cards are correctly seated. Crysis 3 worked fine in Crossfire when i last played it, and since my primary card can't OC past 1175mhz on air i currently do not have ulps disabled. i will try running crysis 3 again...

I'd just like to ask if anyone else has had any framerate issues with 79xx graphics cards in Crossfire lately. If i play BF3 with crossfire enabled, i only get ~30% gpu usage per card and my framerate is around 20fps Whilst on a single...
