Title: Radeon 5770 Graphics card giving low performance.
Post by: XiiOgreiiX on June 25, 2011, 03:40:41 PM
Hello,
I recently upgraded my graphics card from 1 XFX Radeon HD 5770 (Juniper) to 2 in Crossfire X
My problem is that my graphics performance has actually decreased according to WEI and also Im gettin low results with Vantage 3D Mark.
My original graphics scores in WEI were along the lines of 7.4/7.5
I ran WEI when I set up Crossfire X and got a score of 5.6/6.2 in the graphics categories. I know that WEI only tests your main graphics card but I took one out and ran it again (1 time with both cards) and I keep getting a base score of 5.5
Today I updated CCC to the newest version 11.6
( I also know that WEI isn't a great place to base your performance from, but I know I should be getting better than that!)

System:

Processor: Intel Core i7-940 2.93 GHz
Graphics Card: XFX Radeon HD 5570 (X2 Crossfire)
Motherboard: Asus P6D58-E
RAM: 6 GB OCZ Gold 1600 MHz
PSU: 850W ABS Dark Beret
Hard Drive: WD Caviar Black 640GB 6.0 GB/s
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit

Thank you for any input!

if phsical performance on games hasnt changed for the worst, i would pay no attention WEI is a low grade benchmark with unreliable results.
