Just installed another GTX 460 in SLI - at last I can fly properly

HurricaneDriver · #1 09-09-2011, 04:19 PM

I've just bought another 1Gb GTX 460 to use in SLI, and I'm amazed at the difference in the sim. It's actually really flyable for the first time, especially with Track IR 5. I thought there was limited SLI capability in COD? Now all we need are better sounds, and I reckon we're getting somewhere. It's starting to come together!

You know the sounds were just all remade right?

With "we" you mean everyone with a setup like you.

I have two gtx 470 and disabling SLI the game is smoother, no more stuttering.
What are your nvdia control panel or inspector settings?

I'm waiting on the official patch - I've had a couple of bad experiences with the beta updates. Is the beta stable? The official should be out any day now. Worth waiting for, or should I go with the beta?

Thanks guys.

All pretty much standard. Haven't had any time to fiddle with things yet, apart from enabling SLI.

Any settings you recommend?

Aw bugger it - I can't wait! Got to try out those new sounds. Downloading now....

SLI works well on my system, but, as we know, others on this forum are having nojoy with SLI. From what I've gathered from forum posts, ATI Crossfire is still pooched.

Re beta sounds: 109 sounds great on start up and in flight both external & in cockpit. Many also love the 109 flyby sound.

As your handle is "Hurricanedriver", I can only assume you're more interested in the Merlin engine sounds. My take is that the Merlin startup sound both external and in cockpit is very good. In flight engine sound is very good in-cockpit, poor external - although the Hurricane sounds marginally better externally than the Spitfire. Same applies for the flyby. The beta patch Merlin flyby is better than prepatch, but does not sound like a Merlin engine for either aircraft. Even Jafa's excellent sound mod was great for in cockpit and external inflight sound, but still retained the characteristic IL2 vacuum cleaner sound effect during flyby.

Guns: 109 cannon sound pretty good. Machine-guns on 109, Spits, and Hurries are very muted both in cockpit and externally.

The latest beta sounds are an improvement over pre-patch, but as noted above there is work remaining if accuracy in sound is the objective.

Sorry to jump in uninvited. Here's a SimHQ post I did Aug 25 with a SLI set up link I hope you find helpful:

Thanks for the link, Jimbop -- works great. Before my two cards were working at roughly 80%/20% -- now it's virtually 50/50.
