Setting up Sli

[RickRuski]

Hi Jimbop and all,

I was hoping to upload to file factory a copy of my settings in inspector but at this stage I can't get it to copy correctly. Until I can sort the problem the file has been deleted.

Update: - link fixed see original post page one

Cheers

Rick

Hi all,

I've been doing tests for the last week and a half and I think I found another interesting setting that somehow increases performance greatly. I should say that there is not FPS gain, at least in my case, but everything runs smoother on higher graphic settings.

Now I'm playing at AA 4x Supersampling at Medium settings ingame and runs great at 65 FPS.

You should try "Dynamic Tiling" ON in the nVidia Inspector profile settings and also disable AA ingame if you have applied the override setting on AA in nVidia Inspector.

Hi Rick,

after the painful experience of FileFactory (never saw so much advertising before... ) I took the liberty to find a comfortable way to post your pictures:




I hope you do not mind...

You can copy the links and have the pictures shown on your post at page1...

im not getting to bad sli performance 1600/900 all high no trees

[He111]

any update on this?

I'm still only getting 40 fps in Hurricanes V He111 scenario, whether I turn on or off SLI in NVidia control panel ?? 2 x 580

I refuse to use Nvidia Inspector as it's full of SPAM software.

I have the latest Dvidia drivers 3.04 or something like that

I cannot find any game setup section in Nvidia Control Panel, other than in 3D section ??

Help!

Sorry He111,

There has been no further development with Sli from the team as yet so far as I can find out, BlackSix seems to be avoiding the questions that I have put to him. Lutier stated back in April 2011 that Sli would be their next big priority, this is a quote from him about 17 months ago: -
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Quote: -

5. Resurrecting SLI support. This is our next biggest priority; it’s done by the same programmer now in final stages of optimizing buildings. We are really hoping this will be a quick task, but I don’t have an ETA at this point. It’ll either be a couple of days, or a much longer undetermined amount of time if we have to submit versions to card manufacturers and ask for their input.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The delay may be because of trouble they are having getting the graphics engine to perfom as they want, but no one wants to talk about it it seems.

I use Nvidia Inspector and have not found any spam software that you mention. My Sli system as you will see from my sig is far below your system but I'm getting good frame rates with it (nearly double that of one of my cards running with Sli turned off). I am only an off line player so can't comment for online performance. Try single player mission, London Attack and let me know what fps you are getting, with your 580's you should have fps at least 80fps with Sli with High settings on. You can make your own settings with control panel pointing it to the C.o.D exe file. I continue to try different things to see if I can improve the performance (especially the micro stutters that I'm getting but I even have those running just one card so can't put it down to Sli as some would suggest). Certainly the sim is very playable for me, try Nvidia Inspector along with EVGA Precision Tool. What are your system specs?.

Edit: - Opps sorry just noticed your sig with specs, I see that your m/b is 2x 16 pci-e similar to mine except my m/b is Amd. Check and make sure you have the Sli link seated correctly, if it isn't you won't get Sli performance. Are both the cards running at the same temps and usage?(within 2--5 deg temp and 5% usage, the peak usage will change from one card to the other depending on demand). If you have one of your cards running on idle there is something wrong with the setup.

Hi KeBraNto,

Sorry I haven't replied earlier, I have just sean your post and have tried the Dynamic tiling "on". Haven't had a chance to give it a good try as yet, maybe a slight rise in fps but still have micro stutters (don't notice them that much unless I'm looking down towards the ground chasing a target, certainly nothing during high altitude combat).

When playing Single Mission - LondonAttack i get 30-40 fps

I run the game at ultra graphics - Vsync on, Anti-alias off (BTW, how do you turn the trees off ????)

I think i should get better with 2 x 580s.

Will do further testing ...
