This is my rig;

Asus P8P67 Pro B3 Revision

Intel i5-2500k @ 3.3GHz - CM Hyper 212+ cooling fan

8GB (2x4GB) Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz

2 X Asus GTX 560 DCII OC 1GB GDDR5 in SLi config

2 X Corsair Force Series 3 120GB SSDs

CoolerMaster GX750W PSU

CoolerMaster HAF-X Case

Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit

 

I however see some slow down when running games on higher settings. So I tried running 3DMark11 to get an idea and on Professional Default I'm seeing averages of 35fps on Graphics tests, 20fps on Physics Test and 25fps on Combined test. This is at 720p too when I typically play 1080p.

Does anyone have any ideas what might be causing slowdown or whether I am just expecting more than I should be.

 

Thanks

i would oc your cpu, and see if that makes a difference

Try running only one of the 560s on games and see if there's any improvement. I know some games aren't too kind to multiple GPU setups, even though they technically support them. Your motherboard could be the weak point but I have no evidence to support that. Perhaps someone else will know more about it.

bump for a buddy. anyone else got any ideas why it's not playing so nice?

temperatures can make a diff, if they are getting too hot they will underclock themselfs to prevent damage.

Tempretures stay pretty low. I haven't noticed any major overheats. I'll play something in a bit and get more precise temps for you. It's not an issue from multi-GPUs as I tried playing around with tht to no avail. Still meaning to overclock but haven't had the chance.
