on a single card max out at an area overlooking rocks and water, i hit 51fps. Now with 2 cards enabled, i was on 63 at the same position.

What should i do?

11.4 drivers fresh install. Running latest chipset drivers and OC is stable on the CPU. Windows up to date. Crysis patch to 1.2!

Thanks guy's!

Edit:

8AA
Very High
1080p
Vsync OFF!

Open up afterburner and look at the GPU usage, maybe you didnt enable CFX is CCC?

I disbaled CF and got 51fps. I enabled it and got 63fps.

Crysis, not crysis 2

check your gpu usage and make sure both are being used. Maybe you have vysnc enabled? That would keep it at a constant 60 fps.

My post said i went from 51 to 63fps by enabling CF. So do you think i have vsync on?

Are you sure you getting 51fps with single card? Why do you call max setting? How much AA and what resolution?

Here are my exact settings ok.
8AA
Very High
1080p

I looked over some water and rocks and tress with the sun rays coming through. I was hitting a solid 51fps just by looking at the exact same spot.
I enable CF, in the exact same spot i was getting 63fps.

Main post updated.

Hmm that is weird, thats what I get with one card. open GPU-z to see if it really is running in CF. and make sure you disable VSync.

Of course it's really running in CF otherwise i would not jump from 51 to 63 and yes Vsync is off otherwise i would jump from 51 to 60.

Then its probably your cpu being bottle necked.

 

[BradleyW]

But would i not have this issue in let's say 3dmark11 or heaven 2.5 which are more demanding?

CF @ 63fps looks right. No way u are getting 50s with single card. I get low 40s and high 30s with my HD 6970 @ 950/1450.

So your saying i am not telling the truth about what i was getting with a single card? And how does 63 look right? I should be a min of 80 in that perticular area looking over the water.

Also whoever suggested CPU bottleneck, two reasons why it's not.
1. CPU usage is low
2. I overclocked both cards and the frame increased to 64. If there is a bottleneck, the overclock would make no difference.

I'm not ultimately sure you should get such epic FPS with a single card...

Pictures would help?

 

[valvegamer]

So u paid an extra how ever much 1 6970 cost for crossfire and gained like 10-15 fps plz tell me hes really got a driver error whats other games run like with crossfire off and on if u only get 10-15 fps gain on ever game then got to be something wrong some games like sli-cf some dont

Alright i will do a screenshot of the bit in game.

 

[WannaBeOCer]

He said he is standing in one spot looking at water in rocks so I can see him getting 51 FPS with 1 card but your playing at 8xAA ... People who play with 4xAA only get 80-90 FPS with crossfire 6970. Your expecting to much from your cards.

Run 3Dmark Vantage to make you happy

Awesome, if that is true, I'm getting an HD 6970, as it evidently beats my GTX 580.... lol!
