Hi all, i'm going crazy with my sli system (2xgtx280) :(. I found some other threads about this argument, but they are quite old and using 180.xx driver. So it's time to talk about new 190.xx drivers and related SLI problems.:p My rig is the following: i7 920@3,6ghz 3gb Corsair 2xgtx280 Nvidia driver 190.38 Vista Ultimate 64bit I cant get one frames more swithcing from Single Gpu to Sli mode. I tried every possible solutions found on the web: - remaning arma2.exe in crysis.exe - winxp parameter on sortcut - forcing AFR2 in Nvidia panel - forcing vsync off - using nHancer to create a Sli profile - using Evga and Nvidia SLI patch - setting max rendered frame to 8 - installing 190.62 drivers (they arent supported by nhancer) SLI apparently works, load balancing graphs are good, and there's an increase in the menu (from 100 to 150 :D). But when i get into the game frames are capped at 25-28:mad:, exactly like single gpu mode. The only thing i miss is to install Windows 7. Before doing that i would like to hear your suggestions.

Do you notice any improvement in campaing?

Any news about grass rendering poblem? You think you are hiding, but the grass is not rendered at distance, so enemy can see you very clearly. How do they think to fix it? :(

What OS? Which drivers? In which situations do you notice SLI working? Campaign or muliplayer? Same questions for you: Which drivers? In which situations do you notice SLI working? Campaign or muliplayer?

That's really intresting. Did you try W7?

I completely agree with you, i opened this thread beacouse i could not find something really useful for SLI owners, only contradictory and scattered informations. But i was brutally attacked by a user who does not know how to waste his time. So better all SLI users post here. I asked moderator to sticky this thread. ---------- Post added at 07:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:33 PM ---------- I did not notice any improvement ocing my i7 920 from 3,6ghz to 4ghz. I did not try Arma Mark but i will and i'll let you know. :)

Oh that's a bad news :( How is your fps in campaign?

And then a multiplayer match, framerate sucks: I didnt find what you guys said about framerate in multiplayer. :(

Some screens: Here is in "One week after" mission, sli seems to works: The following is "Manhattan mission", sli apperently does not work:

Intresting, so i should go back to 186.18? :( I pushed my CPU to 4ghz and in Manhattan mission nothing changes. And, it's weird, i loaded another mission (the one with cycle) and framerate is very good (50-70). it seems that the frames change by missions, even if scenarios are quite the same. Wtf. On the other hand, i just tried to play online, and it sucks: 30 frames.

I'll give it a try, thanks.

Why are you hammering away at me? Find something else, go kickboxing, or find a woman. I have my i7 920@3,6ghz i cant believe i'm cpu limited. So i will try 4ghz, and of course online play.

Oh my god, you really need something to do. "You're just lazy and can't be bothered to do any research" how can you dare? I'm not your brother nor your friend, so show a little respect and learn some good manners.

I've been searching for days before opening this thread, over this forum and over internet. So if you think this thread is not useful, get off and find something to do.

Are you sure? I have same framerate with SLI enabled/disabled, is that normal too?

Thank you for you help, i really appreciate. Please keep talking in the other thread, so we avoid crossposting. :)

Look, i think you are going over my patience dude. I paid this game and i want to get it working. So don't bother me, ok? I think that is very useful to gather different SLI experiences in an unique thread, so SLI users like me can find very easely all the informations they need. In the link you posted there are many, unorganized, contradictory and scattered information, and is very difficult to find something really useful. So, please, let the moderators do their job, you don't need to replace them. And again, please, i would be grateful if you stop bother and give some good tip, in case you have any. ---------- Post added at 09:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 PM ---------- I did not try the editor (i'm not intrested in) and i did not go online (first of all i need to fix performance and the i can go online). I'm talking about campaing, in the wood (Manhattan mission).

So look by yourself: http://forums.bistudio.com/search.php?searchid=354512&pp=25 The is not any recent thread dedicated to SLI problems. So please, i would be grateful if you have any suggestions.

Framerate is 25-28.

Ok, i'll try W7, but i read about people running Vista 64 who can get their SLi working. What is your rig? edit: just nocited your sign ;)

How do i change it? Did u use Nhancer o whatever trick (like -winxp parameter etc)? edit: i've found the way to change max rendered frames, i'm trying. re-edit: i set 8 max rendered frames, but nothing changed :cry:
