Ok. Pissed is more like it.
Built my rig a year ago now and purposefully told the guy helping me get my components that I wanted the best possible to prevent me from having to upgrade anytime soon...
My Benchmark numbers don't come close to 9k. Not even on Standard.
Sure, it runs fine. Had no issues on High in Beta 3... but Come On!
Would a new Vid card do it? or do I need to invest in more RAM sticks?
AND... (while on the subject..)
What is better? Two of the same Vid cards bridged (decent/good ones)
OR!
One awesome vid card?
Hmm, i think i set up most of this current rig about a year ago, didnt need to update it and the old exploration bench scored around 4.7kish , using a 6950 radeon. the new card i got i went after a 7970 GHz edition, that on the new bench shot me up to the 8.8-9k range. on the old bench it scored 6.3k ish, benchmark runs smooth as butter now.
As to 2 video cards vs one, that i dont know, ive never doubled up on gpu's before, never felt a need to when ive built n upgraded my rigs and i always build mine to where they seem to perform well for 2yrs minimum.
It may depend on a combo of ram/gpu/cpu as well. Would probably depend on what you have on each of those
