Setting up Sli

[He111]

No ,it's a clean download from Stream, released version. i also have 3 other versions, each with their own mod. I tried deleting the cash files, didn't help, and have already reverified the cache in Steam - no help.

Here's the pictures, all my 4 versions of CLOD have this problem, suspect it's a incompatible option in the SLI settings?

Check your Nvidia Control Panel settings. This is what mine looks like: -

Physics Settings= CPU
Maximise 3D performance= select

[He111]

I cannot see that picture, it's too small, thumb nail doesn't expand that much.

But what I think i can see is that your showing me "configure SLI, Surround, PhysX" option, that would be good to see but i also would like to see your "Manage 3D settings" -> "program settings" -> "IL2:Cliffs of Dover"

Thanks.

He111,

The only things that you need to see in the control panel are: -

That the green bar below the two cards shows that Sli is linked.
You have selected "Maximise 3D performance".
Instead of one of your cards being selected for physics, change to "CPU"

That's all the thumb shot shows.

Can you post me a picture of the "saved" profile with the added code, I want to see if it is correct. It should look like this: -

This shows all the Il2 profiles with Luthiers added code.

ok, here's my settings ..

.

[RickRuski]

He111,

They look very similar to mine, the profile looks like you have installed that correctly. Nvidia control panel, the only difference to mine is I have selected CPU in the physics option not auto select (I have 2x gts450s 1gb which are a lot weaker performing cards than yours and I want to keep the load off them as much as possible). I have also limited my fps through my EVGA precision tool software to 30 fps. Check and make sure that all your settings in game such as resolution, V/sync, etc. match the settings you have elsewhere (that you have no conflict with settings). Have you tried turning off any anti-virus that you have running? (don't know if you are mainly a offline or online player) try offline with the anti-virus turned off and see if that makes any difference. I started to get some weird graphics glitches at one stage and found that I had a conflict with settings from in game to Nvidia control panel (changed resolution etc. in one area and not in the other).

[He111]

Thanks again Rick , i downloaded the latest Nvidia drivers just before installing SLI profile update .. so I'm starting to suspect it might be driver related.

It's such a minor issue, menu screen backgrounds not refreshing while game works ok, that i might just leave it and hope for fix later. in the mean time, i'll check my settings.

Thanks again for your help.

He111,

Try a roll back of your drivers (re-install the last known good drivers ), I have the latest beta and all drivers have been working ok for me.

Guys, would you post your current IQ settings, both Inspector and in-game gfx settings AA, etc.

Thanks.

My inspector settings are those set with Luthier's Sli code.

I have AA turned off (not getting any tearing of image so can't see any advantage by turning it on, only disadvantages)
