CrossFire problem! Help!

[imported_gsquared]

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone can help.

I've got an ATi CrossFire setup (X1900 CrossFire Edition and X1900XTX) but seem to be getting very low 3dMark05 scores (around 9000-10,000)

Latest ATi catylist drivers are installed and CrossFire mode is enabled in the ATi software, so where am I going wrong?

I've used 2 different motherboards (Gigabyte GA-G1975X and ABIT AW8D, both with latest BIOS revision)

2 different types of RAM (corsair XMS2-6400 and Samsung PC2-5300U)

2 CPUs (Pentuim D 965EE and Pentium 4 640)

The PSU is an FSP Epsilon FX700-GLN

As far as I can see I've got everything set up correctly, so I would be grateful if anyone can shed any light on this issue.

Thanks guys!

Try different benchmarking programs, and some games. It could be that 3DMark05 specifically is screwing up.

something is wrong. I got about 15,000+ points in 3dmark05. I'm not trolling but maybe it has to do with your processor being Intel -- even if it is EE

Agreed. 3DMark doesn't seem to like the Intels prior to Conroe and Yonah. They generally score a lot worse than the AMD chips. Try some gaming benchmarks and see how she does.

something can be wrong.
My system gave 9000+, although I only tried at default settings and only default benchmarks(maybe only the graphic ones that were default or only default), but my score was around the same.
