    Advice needed - trifire 6970s way too hot

    I am running the NZXT Phantom case - one of the more "reasonably priced" full tower cases - there are quite a few fans running in there, but nothing near the video cards - however, there is a place to mount a 120mm right over the video cards location, so maybe that would be a good thing to try...

    Advice needed - trifire 6970s way too hot

    I'm running 3600x1920 at the moment (3x1920x1200 monitors in portrait mode) - many games work just fine, but not all - for example, Portal 2 was perfectly fine with crossfire, but games like "The Witcher 2", "Metro 2033" and "Crysis" even struggle with the 3 cards - i definitely can't enable...

    Advice needed - trifire 6970s way too hot

    Yup - I have to say that I think water cooling is too rich for my blood right now - especially, as was stated above, that GPU blocks are not transferrable - I'm thinking of rebuilding the system with the WS Revolution, and seeing how it goes - if it's not better, I'll try and sell of the 2 6950s...

    Advice needed - trifire 6970s way too hot

    Hey folks Was hoping to get some advice from everybody regarding a problem I'm having with excessive heat: I recently bought a 6970 to add to my two unlocked 6950s to be able to drive my Eyefinity resolutions - however, I am running these with a Maximus Extreme motherboard (2600K CPU), and...

    Underperforming(?) crossfire eyefinity rig - any suggestions?

    I did try running a single card and the crossfire, and it did scale, but not by much (we're talk maybe 70 fps avg at 1920 x 1200 w/ 1 gpu, and 90 fps with 2/ gpus). I know that my current mobo is only 8x/8x which might also be a slightly limiting factor, so I definitely think that an upgrade...

    Underperforming(?) crossfire eyefinity rig - any suggestions?

    OK - did some more benchmarks and found somebody else who was running roughly the same setup as me, and who was getting very similar numbers - as such, I guess my only options are a) Live with it, or b) Upgrade I'm tending towards option b, and am looking into the i7 2600 - seems to be...

    Underperforming(?) crossfire eyefinity rig - any suggestions?

    Hey guys - thanks for the suggestions so far - I did some more testing when I got home from work, and here's what I came up with: I ran a single monitor setup in 1920*1200 res, and used Afterburner to check the GPU utilization, and at no time did either of the GPUs pass 65% utilization - so I...

    Underperforming(?) crossfire eyefinity rig - any suggestions?

    Hey folks I've been lurking on the [H] forums for a while, and was recently inspired to do a fairly serious upgrade - however, when checking benchmarks, etc, it seems that I'm getting a fraction of what I should be getting, and was hoping that someone could give me some suggestions on what...
