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 ...

He111,

I have all my video settings on high except for forrests and buildings which are on medium. Vert/ sync off, grass off, shadows off (this is a big fps hit). I'm getting the same fps asyou where there is a lot of flack etc but prior to and after that fps 50--70.min sometimes as high as 90. There must be a lot of difference in our video settings otherwise you should have better frame rates than what you are getting. The trees should be controlled with the forrests setting (there is an off selection there).

yeah, ok after quite a bit of testing, I agree with most of your findings except SLI (turning off / on SLI gives no difference to me)

Current released version of CLOD I get 25-30 fps with everything on max.

Beta 18956 version of CLOD I get ;

* everything on Max - 30-40 fps

* Med forrest / housing - 40 -50 fps

* shadows turned off - 50 -60 fps

* no forrests - 60 fps

SLI turned ON or OFF - same

Obviously SLI is not working for me running AttackLondon .. maybe it only kicks in at different loads, not tested in AttackLondon ???

I've tested SLI on my computer, it is running playing Shogun Total War.

He111,

Here's a recent screen shot from my system showing EVGA Precision Tools readout in the r/h top corner. you will see that my 1gb cards are running at near max V/ram, card temps are very close to being the same (the Asus card has always run a few deg cooler than the EVGA) the % of use is near the same with both cards and they are running the same clocks. The % of use does vary between the two cards depending on which card is carrying most of the graphics at the time but they are always within 5% of each other. Check and see if your cards usage are about even when running C.o.D. if they aren't your Sli isn't working. What will show is one card or the other is maybe using only about 10% while the other maybe using about 80% and the temp of the card using about 10% will be down also. Are you using EVGA Precision tool or similar? MSI also has a tool that does a similar thing and these are free downloads from the respective sites and are compatibile with all Nvidia based cards. I couldn't balance my cards succesfully without this tool as they came with different clock speeds and voltages. I know you have said that you don't want to use Nvidia Inspector because of spam but I have never had spam with that software.

I've uploaded another screen shot taken with Sli disabled, as you will see Card 1 is now running near max card 2 is idling. FPS are down also

ok, i used Gadget GPU meters on both cards. When playing Totalwar, both GPU gadgets showed both cards in action but when playing CLOD, only one gadget showed signs of life.

Gadgets may not be the best tools but they do show temp, gpu useage, gpu mem useage etc.

i'll wait and hope the team can look into SLI soon.
