Yeah I ran Furmark for at least 30min.

Sure, I will try only running the 30" via DVI

Pepper,

Run this (for Vista and Win 7). May not help but sure can't hurt. Reboot when its installed then from the start line run: dxdiag.exe in 32-bit and 64-bit.

Yep, but the DX9 redist is good to have on the drive regardless.

Did you flip the OC bios switch in the GPU's? Can you try at reference speed (flip the switch back?)

BF3 + XFire = a nightmare from what i was told,

maybe 12.6 could fix the problem, but dont count on it.

i did have a case last night, where all my displays went blank, then came back up in the middle of a game.

I don't have an Eyefinity setup, so for those in the know:

(Assuming screens taken at idle state)

- Is it normal that his Core Speeds are different, when the rating on the fist screen say they both should be 940Mhz? And if they are idle, shouldn't the reading on both be lower than the Max clock? My clocks go down a lot more when idle.

- Is that temperature normal? My fans run about the same (single 6970), and I have never seen idle temps higher than 39C (mostly 34C)

- The VDCC Offset for idle looks wrong to me at 1.2V. Mine sits at .9V when idle.

500Mhz is the Desktop Mode Clocks, 940Mhz is the 3d Application Clocks, Those are correct.

The Temps are higher because XFire'd cards are close together, one of them is prolly sucking in hot air from the card below it. So the top card is naturally warmer as airflow is restricted, and its sucking in warmer case air.

I'd turn the fans up to at least 80% way before it hits 50^C, if they idle there, then keep the fans at a higher RPM, and maybe look at case airflow.

I think the max safe temp is like 72^C for the 6900s.

If one of the Cards is Staying in 500Mhz mode when your trying to play games, then either the XFire Link is messed up or you need to disable the power Saving Feature ULPS, which i think is a 7000 series feature.
