GTX780 SLI = 6fps

[Gladman]

So I put the second card in. Enabled SLI in the Nvidia software and got 6fps down from 30 average with a triple screen setup.

Now, I didn't spend more than 5 minutes on this but there might be something very small I'm missing. I just want to know if this has been seen before and the fix to get past it.

Last night before I went to bed I was downloading the latest driver and it will be installed tonight but beyond that I dont' know if it'll work.

 

Any thoughts?

Run in fullscreen..

 

run nvidia surround, not three viewports

 

dont run uber high AA settings

[Gladman]

Not in fullscreen, nvidia surround is running, aa settings are set reasonable.

 

That isn't the problem. With one card I got 30 fps with my current settings. Its some sort of SLI issue.

 

If it helps. I get 60fps steady in Crysis 3

Have you really connected both cars with the special cable?

 

Have you reinstalled the newest driver for both cards and set it to SLI/ multiple grafic cards.

[outlawal2]

Have you read all of the threads that state that SLI is not currently supported by ED?

 

Think this might be related?

Run it at full screen so sli works more properly. Also check your sli profile with app nvidia inspector. Sli works fine to a,certain extent with this game. Works very well with nvidia surround as that's how I used to fly the sim.

 

Ya you have the sli bridge connected? If so try to connect it to the other slots on video cards. Does sli work with other games?

Actually had to disable fullscreen for it to work. Its doing its thing but no improvement in FPS as of yet. I'll have to tweak some more.

 

I'll give the other thread a solid read.

Disable full screen for what to work? Sli don't work in windowed mode so you be better off just using one card. Theirs got to be something weird going on. As when I was running nvidia surround with sli 770 I was locked at 60 fpS until this bad engine kicked in

I'm running GTX-780's in SLI and get about 30% increase(60+FPS) versus single card(40-45 FPS). You might try experimenting with the settings in NVIDIA Inspector. It's a trial and error process. As has been noted, DCSW does not utilize SLI very well currently. Hopefully with 2.0 EDGE that will change.

Hmmm, yeah, no real increase. I'll try this inspector software and see what happens
