Quirkitized Posted July 26, 2011 Author Posted July 26, 2011 First a few questions..... What are your card fans set to? What are your card's temps at while running the sim? What power supply are you running all those cards on? Here is what I am doing, maybe it will give you some ideas of what to try. I am running 2 GTX 580's in SLI with a resolution of 1920X2280. I run the sim on one monitor and HELIOS on the 2nd monitor. I run my Nvidia profile for DCS Blackshark with SLI rendering mode set at Force Alternate frame rendering 2. (This causes the clouds to flicker sometimes) I am using driver 275.33 Both my active monitors are running out of the card closest to the CPU. Mirrors off; 1024 every frame; TSAA ON; HDR ON: Water low; cockpit shadows ON; everything else on HIGH; Bushes set to 0; Card temps aren't an issue, neither is the power supply. Temps only go around 70-75c while playing. I'm using a corsair ax1200 PSU (i also know this because using a digital multimeter for voltage checking, not just software readings) Cpu temp is fine. It's not a problem with the temps you'd see from artifacting when overclocking. The game runs perfectly fine, as does every other game I own, the only exception is tgp/mirrors problem since 1108 & 1109. You cannot set different SLI rendering modes while using three monitors, so I cant try that. I will try it with single monitor though and report back. As far as your graphics settings, I've said before I have tried every single one. I have tried everything at low, working one by one to medium, to high, then on to the next, medium, high. Turning things on, turning things off. Again, none of this was an issue what soever prior to 1108, in fact none of these types of threads popped up until 1108. I will try again with single monitor, SLI enabled, with your SLI setting, unfortunately I can't do Force Alternate frame rendering while using three screens. I'll report back.
Quirkitized Posted July 26, 2011 Author Posted July 26, 2011 Ok, after some quick testing I have some promising results. For the sake of being able to guarantee the bug/graphic error I used mirrors as the test, since when it happens with the tgp it is very random and can take minutes. Mirrors, it is instant when you turn the tgp on. SLI OFF: No corruption SLI ON - Nvidia Default: Corrupt SLI On - Alternate #1: No corruption, no cloud flicker SLI On - Alternate #2: No corruption, cloud flicker So I guess i'm just SOL since you can't change SLI rendering mode with three screens? At least people that have had this problem with single monitors can try AFR #1 or #2 and hopefully that will fix their problem. I am only assuming it's an issue for me at this point is because for three screen nvidia just uses the default sli rendering mode. Maybe there's a way to change it, i'll have to do lots of searching.
Quirkitized Posted July 26, 2011 Author Posted July 26, 2011 (edited) I think I may have found a fix using a third party program to modify more nvidia settings. I don't want to be premature on this but so far so good....will report back soon as I think it's actually fixed or not. edit: Yup, 90% sure it's fixed. Also, I', pretty sure I fixed the need for every frame option with SLI enabled, and cloud flickering. Sounds too good to be true but going to do first campaign mission to make sure. Edit2: It's fixed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In the process of making a tutorial. Also, I was able to use 256 display, or 512, or 1024. I did not need to use every frame option! Was getting 50-60fps with 256 display with bhot/whot and my huge resolution and settings. I will make a new thread for the fix and link it here as it'll be another topic for people to post there success or failures on. Edited July 26, 2011 by Quirkitized
Quirkitized Posted July 26, 2011 Author Posted July 26, 2011 Thank you all for being patient with me and brainstorming with me. It was a frustrating journey but the process of elimination was good and good things came out of this. Please see this thread for the fix: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=77542
