The card has two GPUs on it, therefore, i think anyways, the quad SLI would just mean two of these. I read somewhere that running just one of these cards would mean you are already running SLI as two GPUs are present.

Hey Lionpride. Seen you around the SimHQ forums. Welcome!

Grade 'A' tool I'm glad some people find entertainment in ruining something that others have worked hard to achieve

Thanks Mizzy. Haven't installed yet, but looking at the files and looks nice! A Happy New Year to you too. Edit: hehe, MiGressor said it better

Thanks for pointing that out Hungaro, I hadn't seen it yet. Looks great fellas, good work!

Was that your Christmas present Viper? :P

Merry Christmas everyone - hope you all celebrate it in style! :beer:

I like both A2G and A2A. Doesn't really matter to me, I still get my butt handed to me on a platter!

Che? From where I'm sitting it says 46 vs 17 in favour of A2G....

I don't think a defective FC disc results in graphics glitches. It results in not being able to play the game at all!

Thanks for that kato, seems like a nifty trick. Might try it out on all my games, just to get that extra boost!

It looks so good I feel like peeling off my own skin :devil:

Sweet, that's all very good news. Thanks Urze and Jim!

SimWare have displayed a date for Black Shark for about 2 years, and keep changing the date as it gets near. It's possible the system they have set up requires a date to be entered, so they just keep changing it as needed.

What date was that post from Weta?

I've figured it out now. For some reason, the skin doesn't like being placed in the L8/R8 slots! Thanks for your help and patience hehe

Okay, thanks for the suggestion. I'll keep looking, but all I can find so far for the A-10 are two files. Even other skins I've downloaded only have two files.

Am I right in thinking that both the left and right skins should have the same number? I have named the skins: A-10-OKRAS-L8.bmp; and A-10-OKRAS-R8.bmp Which is what they are named in the CDDS browser. The weird thing is that the sides of the fuselage and the vertical stabiliser parts of the skin are on the two different skins. It's like parts of both skins are not showing.

Okay, I have reinstalled Lock On and I'm still getting the problem!

lol, you could be right. Like I said, it was just guess work! Thanks for the ideas. I'm going to reinstall Lock On and try again because I have made sure that the files are named correctly, and nothing seems to work!

Here is one I could find quickly: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/Graphics_Cards-Geforce_8800GT-Crysis-DX10,review-29779-10.html Scroll down for benchmarks. A single 8800GT isn't as powerful as the GTS or GTX, but it gets pretty close, and is cheaper. But if you want 2 x GTX, go for it!

Okay then. Thanks for your help mate!

Is that all I have to do? I've named the files exactly how they are in the CDDS browser and tried placing them in bazar/temptextures, but the skin wasn't available in the drop down menu

Recently I have been working on my first skin for Lock On and now want to view it. I tried inserting the Left and Right skins through the CDDS browser in Modman, but resulted in missing textures. I've been reading about placing the skins in the temptextures folder and creating an A-10.skins file to make the skin show up in the skins list within Lock On, but can't seem to work out the correct code for the .skins folder. SO far I have this, but it's very much guess work: models { lod = {"A-10", 1000000}; collision = "A-10-COLLISION"; } argument { argument = 70; skin { value = 0.0; material = {"A-10_Snow", "Standart", "A-10-OKRAS-L8.bmp"}; material = {"A-10_Snow", "Standart", "A-10-OKRAS-R8.bmp"}; } I'm not even sure what the name for the A-10 lod file is! Can anyone help me please?

How long is Santa willing to wait? The new GTS's are supposed to come out around 12 December, but then you might be hardpressed trying to get one before Christmas. Two GT's would be nice. Take a looky here for GT SLI vs one GTX benchmarks (insert all the usual disclaimers here, when looking at review benchies :P): http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3140&p=12 And the great thing is, SLI zone claims that you should be able to get away with running two GTs on a 650-700W power supply. No need for higher!
