I just put a new system together and am trying to work out the kinks. I've been playing a bit of starcraft 2 and have had some FPS issues. Here's what I got:
Mobo: Gigabyte 890FXA-UD5
Processor: Phenom II x6 1090t
Video Cards: 2x Sapphire 5870's
RAM: 8GB @ 1333mhz
OS: win7 64bit
Not sure of his exact specs but my buddy has a single Geforce 295. In one of the more demanding mini games he was getting around 50FPS where I was struggling for 30. We'd have our screens on the same area and were both using FRAPS to monitor frame rate. Also, my max frame rate was 60 while his was 120. GPU-Z reports crossfire mode being enabled. However, in Team Fortress 2 I dont go below 90 FPS. I ran dxdiag recently and apparently the new version of DX11 has a bug. In windows 7 64bit, if you have over 4GB of RAM and a video card over 1GB, the "Approx. Total Memory" it reports is wrong. It says I have 716MB. Here's what Microsoft says:

And my system:
For now it looks like I'll have to wait for an update. These FPS rates don't seem right though. Is there any way the reporting of the "Approx Total Memory" of 716MB is what Starcraft 2 thinks I have? Or could it be a crossfire problem? And is there anything else I can do to troubleshoot / test my system in order to increase FPS? Thanks in advance.
