Can you spare a little time for msn tonight? I'll see if I can't talk you through a run. Maybe then you will feel the motivation to start kicking some ass

Sure.... Just installed my second 280, I found a flexable bridge. But for some reason i'm getting worse scores with two cards than I did with one.... and thats with the same OC settings and LOD tweaks and all.

Thats what I was thinking about doing.... I still have another 280 to try out also. I was wondering if I might have had a bad card when they were all three in my desktop because of performance issues. I just always felt like I should have been getting more out of them.

Try them one by one... see if one signifigantly underperforms
