    Although the OPs problem isnt directly related to CPU, it is true that OP wont get the most out of his cards using his AMD cpu

    Sure, but Phenom is not that bad that he gets 40 FPS at medium. We all know Intel is better, but this costs money.
    If problem could be solved other way, why buying new cpu+mobo!?
    If OP could game at 100 FPS is it worth to spend more money for 40-50 FPS more? Go to store, buy new cpu, mobo, RAM...! Easy advice.

    Disagree with you on this, sure with a 2600K framerate would be higher, but does that mean that the Phenom II isn't capable of dishing out playable framerate. Although OP's CPU may be a bottleneck for 2x HD6970,s, framerate should be quite playable and he has the option of increasing ingame setting + AA. AMD CPU may not perform as well as their Intel rivals, it doesn't mean they cannot handle games......

    what I said there is true, he will NOT get the most out of his high end cards with socket 775 intel quad core performance ie phenom 2. this is fact. what you quoted was the first reply to the OP in this thread. since my post it has been determined he has other problems other than the cpu. ie driver and or needing to reinstall or maybe something else. posting pics proving YOUR fps on DIFFERENT video cards and at different RESOLUTIONS was just silly

    Jesus, you are everywhere in this forum! You must have last word because you know everything! Get life outside Internet and computers. Have sex, get drunk, it's New Year's Eve!

    I actually did a format and reinstall of windows when i got my new psu (which someone asked earlier about, 850w) and 6950 just to be sure. And i'm using a DVI-Cable nothing else.

    C&Q and C1E is disabled in BIOS.

    I actually sent the card back. I dunno what the problem is, but the frustration has gone too far for me and since i get better results with my single card i really cant be bothered anymore.
    Thanks for all the help anyways, but im not getting into the crossfire business anytime soon.

    your getting the $ back from the card? wait til the 7970 comes out and sell the other card and buy a single 7970. you should have less problems without xfire

    I didnt say anything on what you disagree with. I never once said "the Phenom II isn't capable of dishing out playable framerate". I said that he wont get 100% performance out of the cards with amd cpu..... :3eyes:

    OK, but please define 100% performance. IF he were to run those cards with the Phenom II and get, say.....75fps in games, is he not getting the most out of the game? To him, that's 100% performance, and I might add it is to me as well. Now, running an OC'ed 2600K, he nets 100fps with the same cards, what's the difference? Both give absolutely smooth gameplay, so it may be more precise to say the 2600K is overkill, is it not? it all depends on perspective.....

    Yet another dumb post. Hows the gene pool in your neck of the woods? Kinda shallow?
