nvidia profile/sli compatibility patch request

[RickRuski]

I appear to have SLI working through "Nvidia Inspector" but only after I made my own profile. It would be good to get an official one through "Nvidia SLI Club", there have been several request for it through the forum.

I only have a single gpu, but those running sli or crossfire do deserve to have it running properly. At what priority is the question. General optimization and other things/bugs seem to be more pressing.

Still voted yes for above reason. But I do agree with blackdog, a good single gpu solution is imho the better way to go, there is an link to an article about measuring fps, single gpus and multiple gpus on this forum, very interesting and demystifiing and to me confirming that multiple card solutions maybe be a bit overrated. It is in the performance subforum, "nice article on gpu testing".

Rick, did you get anything else running/improved via nvidia inspector. The profile is, just like in the nvidia cp, "launcher.exe", right?
I couldn't really get any more improvements than I already had with the normal nvidia cp, such as force vsync on.

Could you plz share your knowledge with us?

I have tried to follow some posts that claimed to have SLI working.

I get both GPU´s to work at the same load, but i get no performance gain and my FPS get more ups and downs (my FPS are lower but more stable with single GPU config).

So, can you help me???

Is there a way I can download your profile? Or you tell me what you have?

I have x2 GTX 470 and it stutters like a crack fiend.



EDIT: Never mind, I saw the post when it brought me to this last page.

One thing I forgot to mention in my specs was that my Asus M/B has 2 Pcie slots running @ 16 times where most M/B have 1 x 16 and 1 x 8. If the Pcie slots run @ 2 x 16, that could make a difference. Certainly can't complain too much about how my Sli is performing at the moment.

thanks for your profile, i will give it a try.

Regarding the x16 vs x8 PCI slots, some time ago I read a couple of benchmark articles. The main conclusion was that 2 x 16 only make a "noticeable" difference when playing at very big resolutions (with 3 displays) and the performance was almost identical when playing at normal single display res like 1920x1200. i could not find the link now, but it is "out there".
