-Puma- 2 Posted March 10, 2008 forceware controlpanel should give u SLI options when SLI is enabled. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SWAT_BigBear 0 Posted March 10, 2008 In your Nvidia CP, make sure "Advanced Settings" are enabled, and you should see a "3D Settings" on the very top. In there click the "Show SLI Visual Indicators". Now, when you play SLI capable games, you will see a big nasty green vertical bar that shows performance of the SLI. The more it lights up, the better.

Flackjacket 0 Posted March 10, 2008 Thank you SWAT_BigBear. Thats what i was looking for. I didnt know that was up there. Flack OK I have the green bar now. While ingame I have a small sliver of green or nothing, when I hit escape to exit I have all kinds of SLI going on. How exactly do I use this FEAR profile to make ArmA use both cards?

While ingame I have a small sliver of green or nothing, when I hit escape to exit I have all kinds of SLI going on. How exactly do I use this FEAR profile to make ArmA use both cards? I tried the Fear exe profille awhile back, it was great except for nite time and NV (Flickering NV). I reverted back to stock profiles. I'm using Vista, so your particular scernario, will be by trial and error. Tinkering with SLI/PROFILES/OPTIONS, will eventually offer what your looking for, even after 1 or 2 BSOD'S. Check the ArmA.exe profile to confirm "Nvidia recommended (SLI)" is enabled. (Some beta drivers do not offer SLI) edit, btw, do not get discouraged by "low SLI bars", it takes alot of game/video resources to even enable them. edit #2 Â )make all changes while game is closed/shut down.
