nelmagene Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 Hey I'm new at this so please bear with me. I am tring to run 2 3870x2 on my system. With a single card I score a 14200 on 3dMark06 after adding the second card my score goes down to 10500. I loaded new drivers on a friends advice and the score rose to 12374. Can someone tell me what the possible problems may be: m3a32 deluxe motherboard, 9850 BE processor running 2.7ghz, 2 3870x2 video cards, 750 watt power supply (the factory says that will work?) 1tb seagate harddrive, blueray bruner, 8 gigs of patroit ram 1067mhz. thanks all input is greatly appreaciated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
