Setting up Sli

[RickRuski]

Hi Snwkill,

I am at the moment trying to get the best I can from the current situation with "Dover", that means I will accept advise and or sugestions from all. We will all have some input that we can try, and the more that try with Sli the better we could achieve with our performance until an "offical" profile is provided.

I also fly with Grass and Shadows "Off", cant see any sense in having a performance hit from 1500 mtrs up.

My setup that I have posted is what is working for me, I realise that it won't for everyone but lets keep at it, then the developers will see that there is enough of us using Sli to warrant some effort there.

Hi Katdogfizzow,

Sorry for the slow reply, I have tried "Triple Buffering" but found no visible difference on my system so I left it "OFF'.

I forgot to mention. I have all vedio settings at highest, except grass and SSAO are off and Landscape shading is medium. The only time my frame rates are in the unacceptable range is when I am flying low over a lot of buildings and when there is a lot of smoke in the field of view.

Ok, just wondering as they supposedly work hand in hand. Thanks again for the feedback and the info.

I did notice my voltages fluctuate a bit, but I believe its from one card being idle when Im monitoring. Not sure what else I could try. I'll have to just wait for the profile I guess.

Getting 35-40fps over London so Im quite happy as is....I am SLI enabled, but the second card isn't working to capacity...~10%

Guys, in my opinion you need to have your eyes locked on the memory % usage of your GPU.

If your VRAM is occupied at 95% or more, your fps rate will halve.

Hmmm....it is very strange.

I had two days of great SLI playing on the REPKA Server #3 with 70-100 fps and no stutters.

The third day (today) I had a different experience:
Flying towards the enemy (blue) base island, towards a dogfight with many planes, my fps dropped to 6-14fps !!!!!

This time there were some planes more in the server but I still can not explain the difference.

So I am sad to say that the problems remain to be solved.
I can not however explain the first two good days of flaing though.

Its weird that just a few more planes would cause that kind of FPS drop.
Has to be something else going on.

Rick,
Downloaded Nvidia Inspector but, contrary to what you indicated earlier, can find no reference to a profile for COD, just plain vanilla IL2 and The ace expansion pack. Do I need to create a profile for it?
Thanks!
