Setting up Sli

[RickRuski]

Although I have only recently gone Sli I feel that I have found some things that help to get it running reasonably well.

(1) make SURE that all settings are the same in all adjustments (control panel, Invidia Inspector, etc) sometimes I have found that they aren't.

(2) Try and get all cards balanced so that voltages, frequencies, etc are the same. ( I use EVGA precision Tool for this purpose available at EVGA , my two cards are from different stables and therefore not the same clocks etc.)

(3) Overclocking sometimes has a negative effect (although my cards are factory O/C I have turned them down to stock settings and find them more stable)




Now have smooth play after cards reach operating temps.
Get EVGA "Precision" tool to show fps and card temps, also to balance frequencies and voltages.

SOMEONE SAID IN ONE OF THE REPLYS SOMEWHERE THAT THE "EVGA PRECISION TOOL" WOULDN'T WORK WITH THEIR GIGABYTE CARDS, I HAVE BEEN ASSURED AT THE EVGA FORUMS THAT THEY WILL WORK WITH ALL NVIDIA CARDS, SO WILL THE ALTURNATIVE MSI TOOL. So people give it a try.




THESE WERE OLD INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE PRIOR TO THE RELEASE OF LUTHIER'S SLI CODE AND I HAVE REMOVED THEM.
