Help with Benchmark.

[Pseudopsia]

If any one gets into an AMD vs Intel debate they are pretty much morons. If the performance was limited by the CPU the low res and high res scores will be nearly the same. There is a wide gap between his low and high res scores, which indicate the GPU is limiting the performance.

A SSD will show no difference in the benchmark since the benchmark is a very small size that can be loaded entirely into memory. A SSD will do wonders for load times in the actually game since it's very large.

If you want to see where your GPU ranks in general game performance check the following link:

You will notice that a HD 7770 is only one step up from a GTX 260. 2X GTX 260 is faster than a single HD 7770 if you have SLI working correctly in full screen. Benchmark doesn't allow full screen, however someone made a DLL to force full screen(google "Ff14bfull-100618.Zip", extract and place DLL in the data folder containing the config.ini and FFXivWinBenchmark.exe files). Your new motherboard supports SLI so I suggest you put those 2X GTX 260 back in or buy another HD 7770. You pretty much downgraded your graphics performance going to a single HD 7770.
