Never mind.

And no, that CPU would not bottleneck those cards that badly.

What games are you playing? Or if you've only tried one, try another.

Try running the Heaven benchmark from Unigine without Crossfire and then with Crossfire.

1st, crossfire is garbage for now on official drivers.

2nd, FX is heavily bottlenecking one 7970 save for two.

So... If Jesus had the gold, would he buy himself out instead of waiting 3 days for the respawn?

What game?

One thing is crossfire is very bad compared to SLI, other thing is that FX is too slow for gaming.

The 8350 is good for gaming and also does not bottleneck a single 7970, and does not bottleneck two 7970s.

Is that multiplayer or singleplayer bf3 and what settings are you using? What resolution?

Most certainly CPU bottleneck. You just won't hit more than 120fps I guess.

Do you have any other GPU intensive games like crysis 3 or metro last light? Maybe bioshock infinite or tomb raider?

Try with one of these if you have them or try with any other GPU heavy game.

Also tell me do you have your CPU overclocked?

Nah its not as bad as you'd think, test with other games. Do you have any I mentioned? Crank all the settings up to maximum and test framerates with and without crossfire. Also there should be some driver coming out soon fixing crossfire a bit.

The driver is already released.

It's a beta and it may break more stuff than it repairs.
