as long as your FPS are better in actual games its working. 3dmark doesn't always scale very well at all. just a pointer but SLI will always really show its muscle at higher resolutions, try 1600x1200 or anything around that. |

you should be getting a 30% increase, i suggest a fresh install of windows. thats what i usually do with any major hardware change. makes sure theres no old drivers or bugs clogging up your performance. |
