Setting up Sli

[335th_GRAthos]

Guys, in my opinion you need to have your eyes locked on the memory % usage of your GPU.

If your VRAM is occupied at 95% or more, your fps rate will halve.

Hmmm....it is very strange.

I had two days of great SLI playing on the REPKA Server #3 with 70-100 fps and no stutters.

The third day (today) I had a different experience:
Flying towards the enemy (blue) base island, towards a dogfight with many planes, my fps dropped to 6-14fps !!!!!

This time there were some planes more in the server but I still can not explain the difference.

So I am sad to say that the problems remain to be solved.
I can not however explain the first two good days of flaing though.

Its weird that just a few more planes would cause that kind of FPS drop.
Has to be something else going on.

Rick,
Downloaded Nvidia Inspector but, contrary to what you indicated earlier, can find no reference to a profile for COD, just plain vanilla IL2 and The ace expansion pack. Do I need to create a profile for it?
Thanks!

thanks for sharing, looks like my hardware is a no go with this profile

Same here, two 460's, I've got all the same settings, created a custom profile for Launcher.exe and it doesn;t seem to have an effect, one card going like the clappers @99% and the other between 10 and 14%, it's not a 'jittery mess' but if its working for others I'd like to join the party! What can I have missed?
I'm new to SLI so maybe it's something obvious, any suggestions gratefully recieved. SLI is enabled in nvidia control panel and works like a beast with every other game.
Also, when the official SLI profile becomes available will it automaticaly take precedence or will I have to delete my custom profile?
Thanks in advance,
Boko.

Hi Bokononist,

Check your Nvidia CP, see if you have one of your cards set for "Physics". If the answer is YES change it to CPU in the settings. Also each time before you go into COD set your "Inspector" to the correct profile (it tends to reset to "Global") and then "Minimise" Inspector, don't turn it OFF. See if this helps. The reason for this Physics setting see my edited profile settings (28/9/11)

Thanks mate, all working fine now, 60% each card now rather than 99/10!
Your time and suggestions are very much appreciated.

Why is it only 60%? Does not CloD need more with maxed out settings and res?

Probably because this is a 'make-do' profile and not the official version, when official driver support comes in we'll see what happens.
Until then things are running better, and my top 460 doesn't have to run at 99% for hours on end!

Hi Chris455,

If there is no profile "Cliffs of Dover" or "Launcher.exe" make a new profile as Cliffs of Dover using the one I have suggested. Also see my reply to Bokononist as to setting "Inspector" and "Nvidia Control Panel".

Sorry for the slow reply.

Cheers
