    I think I'm having problems with the temperature of the second graphics card. Only if I have opened the program hwinfo heard as fans get to work faster when there is more load to pass the 3DMark. Is that a problem?

    Are these results normal?

    P23403 3DMarks (3DMark Vantage)

    2F3dmv AMD Radeon HD 6970M / 6990M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-2960XM Processor,Alienware M18xR1 score: P23403 3DMarks =% 2F3639974%%% 3DQDJur9PsufmdCkYHTjEmiw 3Fkey

    config:

    2960XM
    6990Xfire
    Kingston HyperX SSD
    Kingston 8GB 1866MHz

    My system came this morning and I'm checking that everything goes well because I have only 7 days to return it.



    Thank you all.

    Vantage Scores are completely in line as to what you should get.

    To check for temps open two instances of GPUz and select on each instance the GPU you want to monitor from the drop down options.

    If you have an extended monitor you can have your 2 GPUz instances running on that screen in continuous background logging mode.
