No doubt the ASUS P5WH is faster, having had bad luck with it, and no higher Multiplier available on the DFI 975X Infinity, it was definitely time to pay the Intel Bad Axe D975XBX Motherboard another visit!

Both Cross-Fire and SLI were ran!! Cross-Fire with Catalyst 6.6, SLI with modded 84.66 Forceware to run SLI on Intel Chipset flawlessly!

First, an easy 61K in 3D Mark 03!!

Been so long since I ran 3D Mark 01. But since I already did 3 might as well finish the last one! Did not bother to cherry pick a nice Car Low Test and all...
