My specs
HIS Radeon 7850 2gb
XFX Radeon 7870 2gb
Intel i5 3570 @3.4ghz (stock speed)
Corsair TX750
Sandisk 32GB SSD @ 3gb/s - both of my 6gb/s were used

Unigine benchmark

Questions:
Is this the kind of score I should expect from a rig like this?
Is that Intel integrated graphics throwing anything off?
If, so how can I disable it (I use an ASrock extreme3 Z77 mobo)?
(I had the 7850 first) Was buying a 7870 (as opposed to a second 7850) a waste of money?

Thanks in advance! 😀
 
Go into your bios and disable the iGPU - You may even see something about Lucid Virtue - Disable it.

If you use MSI Afterburner try to disable ULPS, this may help you higher scores while benchmarking. I have heard it only works for cards in crossfire.

Not sure about your score? You are essentially cross-firing two 7850's. Your score should be about right..

EDIT: Sorry, I thought it was 1080P

Even with two 7850s, your score should be a little bit higher than that. You're basically getting one 7970/680's worth of performance out of two cards. And the 7850 is not half of a 7970. I would expect a little bit better (at least 50 fps avg)?

Maybe I'm overthinking it... I haven't seen a 7850 CF set-up yet.

What are you getting with your GTX 680?

Run the test with video mode of 1920 x 1080. What monitor are you using? What resolution are you running your games?

It would be a lot easier to compare if you didn't use a custom preset, and used a standard resolution. 1600x900 is a very non-standard resolution.
 
For some reason the 'extreme' preset uses windowed 1600x900 by default. You actually need to set it up to run fullscreen 1080p or any other res.

The problem is that the monitor I use is 1600x900 and I do not have an easily accessible 1920x1080 one.

As for the preset, the only custom part is fullscreen. Apart from that, its the regular extreme preset.
