    Odd man. My X58 platform with a i7 920 C0 & a single GTX 580 scores a 7.9.

    No idea why your SLI'd 680's are scoring less then me?

    I would just ignore the WEI as i doubt your 680 should be scoring less then my last gen card, unless the 580's are somehow better then the 680's, which i doubt.

    It's a bug, I wouldn't care about it at all. For comparison my system scores 8,2 on every test except 8,1 for disk data transfer.

    Also Windows 8 has a different scale for the WEI score. So you should be getting a different score and it might be lower as the scale is bigger now.

    Windows 7 = 1.0 to 7.9
    Windows 8 = 1.0 to 9.9

    I score 7.9 in Windows 8's W.E.I. test with SLI disabled and 6.7 with it enabled. This is with both the v310.33 and v310.54 drivers.

    i have checked during during WEI testing that indeed SLI is being utilized. Both cards are on load during test. Highest that it hits is around 80% load but mostly hover around the 60%. So as in my score i don't know if score is for 2 cards or 1 as i see everyone's scores are everywhere.

    Please help a brother out lol.

    Ok i know it shows me specs on the side but im having some issues here..

    I have a 3.3 ghz 6 core, 8 gig ram, Geforce GTX 680 2 gig SC.

    I should be able to run FarCry 3 EASILY perfect. For some reason its jumpy and i have no clue why I have tried changing settings and everything i can think of :(.

    Im running Windows 8 64 Bit and im beggining to think thats the real problem here.


    Thanks for all your help.

    there are threads about the nature of this game. its the game itself not the OS.

    I have 3x gtx 680 and DC3 maxed out uses 80-95% of the gpu's. Have 80-150+ fps.

    If I use 2x 680 I have drops to 60 fps some places.

    Issues

    Ok well my issues are deeper than most really. Even if it is FarCry 3 it still on like google images or youtube looks like the pixels are off.

    I've gone through all my Nivida settings anti-aliasing / etc etc V sync off all that.

    It still looks funny though, i have up to date drivers and everything else :/
