What type of frame rates on average are you seeing while gaming nMP-2013 (d300 x2)

What type of frame rate on average are you seeing while gaming.

I tried both in BootCamp Win8 and Mac OSX. I seem to get a very low frame rates on any benchmark tools and games. I know these cards are not meant for gaming but I'm getting 8 frames per sec. That seems very slow compared to the link below.

I'm not sure what games or benchmarks you are trying, but I'm not generally seeing that kind of slowdown in 3d games.


For example, I can run Diablo 3 at 2560x1400 at 58 fps (Mac OS) with all options turned up. I have the D300s too. Granted, D3 may be a lightweight 3d title, but I'm not sure what you have tried.


If you have a particular program, I could give it a go and let you know. I don't have Bootcamp installed, so it would have to be a Mac benchmark/game.

The specific benchmark is within the Total War Attila Game. I have a separate Windows computer which I use for gaming. Its a Haswell i7 with a 760 GTX video card and on the same test I get 40/45 fps. I did try some other test Cinebench, Heaven Benchmark and others and achieved better results. Maybe its just the Attila game or test that does not like the video cards. I don't game on this system. I was just curious and the low score had concerned that maybe something was not working right.
