Help with Xfire

[Wallboy]

I have the following system all at stock currently:

Q6600 G0
Maximus Formula
HIS 3870 ICEQ in Xfire
4GB Ballistix Tracer DDR800
Vista x64

My 3Dmark06 score is 13.4K. Isn't that low even for stock? Could my crossfire not be working? I think I got all the updates. Crossfire is checked in CCC. Anywhere else I could check to see if crossfire is working? Thanks.

13.4K sounds right. I was getting that with my E6850 stock. With my QX9650 I'm 16K stock.

Disable crossfire in CCC and see what your score is when you run 3dmark06. ;)

Post back. :)

your score sounds about right to me. you can easily add several thousand points to your score by overclocking your CPU if you care. make sure Catalyst A.I. is turned on and set to Standard. then you can run the test with CF enabled and disabled to see the difference. it's basically just a CPU benchmark at this level though. too much graphics power for this test to accurately reflect what your system can do.

I think you meant to say that 3DMark06 is heavily CPU related...
