SLI Support?

[Wolo]

My systems specs are:
i5 2500k 4.2
2 gtx 580 3 gb ( single core each, no overclocked )
8 gb ram
ssd 120 gb
p8p67 pro
I will try lowering some settings like shadows, forests etc... for testing if i get better results.
To the people who have sli working, which nvidia drivers are you using?

as you can see im running a modest system here is a couple more screenies

newest beta drivers 305.53

1 over London

2 my in game settings

I'm using the Nvidia beta drivers latest release from Nvidia (304.79). Wolo those cards should eat C.o.D. I've found that my modest system will run with everything on max but at lower frame rates (sometimes dropping as low as 19fps) but still playable. Are both your cards from the same stable if not you may find they are running at different clocks (mine aren't and I have balanced them to the same speeds and voltage with EVGA Precision Tool).

Pegasus_Eagle, where did you get the 305.53 drivers? the only place I can see these is Guru 3D and as I understand they might not be from Nvidia, are these running ok for you? I noticed a post on the forum saying that the poster was having trouble with those.

My twin GTS 450's are giving me good frame rates and only micro stutters with the settings I am using, you must remember my monitor is only 19" and has max resolution 1440 x 900 so my cards don't have the same stress trying to produce higher resolutions that a 24" monitor would have. Plus the resolution that I'm using is 1280 x 960.
All my settings are "High" except for forests and buildings which are "Med", I'm finding that AA is not a bother for me so use 2x max. Are you using Nvidia Inspector? if not give that a try it's the only way you will be able to adjust Sli profile. In that you have an over clocking section this is also where I have the settings to match my Precision Tool settings. Check and see if your temps and % of use between your two cards are nearly the same, if there is a major difference your Sli may not be working correctly.

yes im using nvida inspector and and i did do some fiddling in there and yes both of my cards are matched evga 570 with 1.5 gig factory oc to 810 and im running a 32 in led monitor im not having any trouble with the 305 drivers working good here im running 1600/900 native is 1920/1080 all high no trees but grass and shadows on pretty smooth game play and both cards are running close together avg from 35% on both to 90% some times on both cards

OK, thanks for that Pegasus_Eagle I might try those and see how they perform.

(Edit.) Tried the 305.53 but find the beta 304.79 work better for me at the moment, so staying with them. Once the next set of drivers have official backing will try those. The 305.53 drivers aren't listed with Nvidia at the moment and I see that they maybe a developers release from other posts I have read.
