me it uses 3 core effectivly (a la ff14)but one core it use massivly (7/8 of 100% proccssing power)also it is never the same core,i play this session it might be core 1 ,in haf an hour i go play another new session it will be core 2 then afterward core 3 etc!
Huh?!?
Punctuation, complete sentence and structure are your friends. Even if english is not your 1st language. I am not a spelling nazi, but whatever point you try to make in your posts are lost in that rambling mess of a post.
A large part is probably the drivers, you really need the latest to run the game well. My 480 runs the game superbly.
Another possibility that might slow you down is that you have an IRQ issue (2 graphics card using the same IRQ can sometimes mess things up). I recommend that you check out the administrative logs that logs any issues and errors. If you do have some often occuring issue there, PM the information to me and Ill help you out with it.
But really, loose the old card, if you just need it for another monitor get the cheapest new card you can find for that instead.
Its like this, if you do not take out the 7800 you will get slow performance, you are using something VERY old vs somethign VERY new and not only that you are using drivers that only support the 7800 not the 690, as soon as you take that 7800 and install the new drivers then you should be running above 100 fps.
Here is another thing, when you have 2 things lets say you have 2 harddrive and you raid them if one is slower than the other it will only use the speeds of the old one, even with SLI even though you do not have the two cards SLI, but your over all performance is going to be according to the 7800 not the 690. Also you have 2 cards plugged in this means that you are running 8x PCI not 16 for the 690 . In anycase you are not using the 690 currently your PC is using the 7800 speeds to proccess everything.
The drivers I'm using support both cards, and the 690 is the one rendering stuff, as evidenced in my high framerates in every other game, and by GPU-Z showing the load to be on the 690.
If you read the last line you wouldn't have posted and just did what I said, I will repeat, your 690 is performing at the rate of your 7800, just take out the 7800 install the new 314 drivers and see the performance.
Except it's not, because the 7800 can't play Crysis 2 like butter.

This game was CPU heavy not GPU heavy at first they told us it was due to testing but they never fixed it. Add it to the long list of things they told us would happen but never did.
My performance between beta and release increased considerably.
By the way are you still playing the game and hence a hostage?

I have, and it's been a catastrophe. I took it out and put my 8800 GTX in its place, as that's still supported by the latest drivers.
It took like an hour to even get the card in the slot, and then Windows wouldn't boot, so I spent another hour trial and erroring to no avail, and ended up having to go to Best Buy to buy another copy of Windows 8 because I have no CD since I got it as a digital download. Except now it says that my new copy of Windows won't activate because the CD was for upgrades only and I had to do a clean install. Oh and then I accidentally converted my 4TB drive to a dynamic drive and lost everything on it, and now it's stuck at half capacity for some reason even though I converted it back to a basic drive.
But hey at least I'm on the latest drivers. I'll test GW2 when I reinstall it after I spend 5 hours trying to get the other half of my hard drive capacity back and recovering anything from it I can.
why did you put a 8800 in there? why not just leave in the 690 alone and try it like that? dual GPU cards have always been more hassle than they are worth imho then you add a third gpu you are just asking for issues..... for comparison i have a similar setup to you but use a 670 card and hit 100 fps+ in most areas with only a couple things turned down
I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at a store, oftentimes, I will drop it... so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential. --Mitch Hedberg
What!?
Why did you pull the 7800 out and add an 8800?!
What you really should have done was just run the 690 by itself. Oh well. Good luck to you.
I put it in because I want my fourth monitor. I don't want to play an MMO if I can't play it in my ideal set up. It's not like a single player game that I'll beat in 12 hours; MMOs are indefinate.
id sell the 690 and get a single gpu card then or two single gpu cards in sli/crossfire.. you are asking for to much trouble with a dual gpu card plus another card as well... are you dead set on nvidia? I'm a nvidia fan personally but AMD generally has better multiple display support

The 690 is still superior or negligible for every other game, so I don't want to sell it. And I can't have 2 cards in SLI because my motherboard only has 2 PCI-E slots, so I'd still be stuck with 3 monitors.
I really don't think the additional card is causing any issues. It's just the one I was using was old, so I was stuck on old drivers.
Letting the GTX690 running on its own in a single monitor would allow us to know if the drivers or the old card were the problem or not.
So taking the card off was a simple test that would take 5 minutes or so.
If then GW2 worked fine we would have nailed the cause.

Suck it up for 30 minutes and just yank the 7800 and update the drivers. If performance is still bad, then you can at least say you ruled that out.
You make me like charity
Just going by your posts here, I don't think you're in any way qualified to determine what is or isn't causing issues. Yank the 7800/8800 and boot with just the 690. See if performance still sucks or not, then come back here.

Probably should have done that, but I'm not trying that shit again now.
Then stop complaining and go do something else. You're not going to find a magical solution to this.

You mean to use 2 monitors from one port? Because I'm using the mini display port already.
