DCS and SLI

[morsmortis]

I am wondering if anyone has seen any improvements using SLI in DCS. I have a 9800gx2 and when I disable the 2nd gpu I see no difference in XP. Is it the same in Vista?

I would be surprised if you see any improvement with SLI since I doubt BS really stresses the GPU. The performance of the sim is more likely to be limited by your CPU.

I have two Sapphire ATI 4850's in crossfire and the second gpu doesnt even appear active. I have logged it whilst playing the game and no activity at all. Normally even on other non graphics intensive games there is activity and performance increase. I am on vista @1200x1920. Kinda annoying as I nearly purchased a 4870 instead of a second 4850 ( which I purchased specifically for BS....after all this is 2008 :) ). Unless it is still something on my machine...drivers cat 8.09-8.11. I have given up on trying to sort it, putting it down to the game not supporting multiple GPU,s.....any official word from ED????? Any change in future modules???

Works great Server 2008-64 sustaining 95/100's fps on SLI.

 

Need some tweaks on the SLI driver setup.

What tweaks are you recommending?

 

Thanks

I use a tool called Everest that monitors everything, it has a G15 LCD plugin. One of the things I have setup is GPU usage.

 

In game BS only uses 40-50% GPU on my 4870 1GB.
