Ooops, my bad. I was on Tapatalk I didn't notice.

Man...I can't wait until my graphics card arrives in the mail!

For anyone wondering, it is a Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 980 (comes OC I believe). I'd try to avoid the stock version of the GTX 980 directly from NVIDIA because insufficient cooling causes it to throttle badly, as shown in this benchmark.

R9 290 crossfire

Crossfire doesn't work in windowed mode, unlike SLI(although some programs do need fullscreen to use SLI to its full potential for some reason). You have to run the benchmark in fullscreen mode to get the right score.

I ran this in windowed mode and then fullscreen to see if it made a difference with SLI and I was right. In windowed it was in the 4000's and in fullscreen...

Valley Score: 5330

*edit*
I'm not quite sure why it says custom preset. I used the Ultra one, as is required. I'm assuming its the fact that I ran it in fullscreen that made it say that.

I'm going to have to look into the sli issue. We ask everyone to use extreme preset.
