Let me lay a little knowledge on you. It's interesting how your comments seem to alternate between blind accusations of running a bunch stuff over clocked and raw idiocy. I haven't yelled at anyone about their overclock. The point is that it's not the same level of performance when you run an overclock and push your single gpu to almost run at the same level as my two do with no overclock what so ever. It's like saying " Joe Smoe baseball player hit twice the home runs as Joe Hoe and Joe Doe but he was taking steroids to help him do it."
As a fellow SLI builder (obviously but I'm beginning to wonder about you) I have yet to find a game that I cannot force to run in SLI, FO4 doesn't have a profile or seem to like xfire or sli but their are certainly ways to force it to work. It just takes a little finesse and trial and error. And, such I have and achieved amazing results (Completely maxed out and yes even Godrays on Ultra). With zero tearing or scaling issue. Yes, this is only one example, if I must to appease you I'll give you more.
You must have had a very bad experience with your SLI config and for that I'm not really sorry because if you had the will to get it to work or the patience to do a little digging through profiles then you might enjoy your experience as I and many others have and continue to do.
As for Firestrike, it even says it in its description of the test that this is only one test that HEAVILY taxes your cpu. The Physics test. But I'm sure you already knew that right? The rest run MAINLY off your GPU and calculate it's performance. Which is why and here.. I'm going to give you my completely stock run at the bottom of this... I only lost 500 points off my score..
SO here as I'll do it again just for you since you have trouble understanding.. EDUCATE YOURSELF on how these things work and how these benchmarks are applied to your components before you start bashing someone for saying that one card was overclock and one was not, and then making silly accusations as to the effect of my CPU clock on a GRAPHICS TEST.
http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/10431099 Core clock is 3.5 STOCK TURBO BOOST is 4.4 Firestrike didn't even make my CPU want to do it's own stock turboboost. Thanks.
As for my education, I am an Oilfield Engineer, still nice try.
