Hey guys,
I'm really disappointed with my CF setup. I got 2 Sapphire Toxic Edition 6950's unlocked to 6970's. Ever since I got them I have had horrible scaling in games. In Tera, I get 20-30 fps on max settings whereas my 2010 Macbook Pro (with a GT 330m) gets 30-40 on high settings. On The Witcher 2, there is no CF scaling at all, my second GPU isn't even used (Same fps, 40-60 outdoors on ultra with CFX enabled AND disabled). I realize Witcher 2 was optimized for Nvidia, but still. I get really crap scaling on most games I play, and I blew $600 on those things! The only good luck I've seem to had is with BF3 (60-85 fps on average), but oh the micro-stutter.
I'm really debating selling my cards and going with either 2 500 series NVIDIA GPU's in SLI or one even more powerful NVIDIA 600 series GPU.
What 2 card SLI configuration or single Nvidia card will get better performance than 2 6950 (really 6970's though) in CF?
Btw, I heard somewhere if you OC your CPU you get better CFX scaling. Is this true?
