What game to test me new SLi setup!?

bigstevex · 30 Jun 2006 at 09:21

Will any game work in SLi or do i need patches for the games?

I have my new dell 2407 running at 1920 * 1200

and now i have 2 7800 GTX XXX 512MB cards to test with it

I can't get fear to run at 1920 * 1200 only 1600 * 1200

Need a fps game to test it with maximum settings!?!

Battlefield 2 runs fine on the one card at maximum settings, (i have to force it into 1920 * 1200 though)

oblivion

yep, I got about 10 fps more in oblivion in the forests with max details @ 1280x1024 when I went SLI.

You should be able to force a higher resolution in FEAR too.

Tweakguides said:
Settings.cfg

"ScreenWidth" "1280"

"ScreenHeight" "1024"

FEAR does not support certain resolutions from within the game. Fortunately you can assign a custom resolution by editing these lines in the Settings.cfg file. However before setting a custom resolution, first go into the Options menu in FEAR and set the Display options you want (aside from resolution). Next, close the game and Edit the lines above - change the ScreenWidth to the pixel width of the custom resolution you desire, and the same for ScreenHeight. Upon restarting the game your custom resolution will be applied. However don't go back into the Display settings screen in the in-game options as this will reset your resolution to one of the default resolutions. To check your new resolution go to Performance>Advanced Video Options and check the 'Screen Resolution' setting which should display the new resolution. You can now adjust and test the remainder of your settings.

If your resolution is accidentally reset, re-edit this file, or make it Read Only once you applied all the tweaks you want. Also, if you find this method doesn't work for you, you may have to create a new Profile and/or delete your other profiles for it to work.

the file is under shared documents> monolith productions

Quake 4 with max settings

Cyber-Mav · 30 Jun 2006 at 10:14

just go play oblivion at max details and rez of 1920x1200 with 16xAA and 16xAF.
then come back here in tears and post how crappy your sli setup is.

your sig breaks the rules mr.showoff

j/k

seriously though, it does break the rules
hl2 ep1 with everthing on max at full res should be nice and fluid.

Cyber-Mav · 30 Jun 2006 at 13:38

who's sig breaks what rule?

div0 · 30 Jun 2006 at 13:50

The OP's sig breaks the "no more than 4 lines of text" rule

Gashman · 30 Jun 2006 at 13:52

i got so fed up of having my sig removed for supposidly being longer than four lines of text, i give up having a sig

Oblivion is probably the only game that will literally bring that setup to its knees and then some.

bigstevex · 30 Jun 2006 at 14:24

Whats oblivion i can't say i've ever played it, whats it about/type of game???

I'll alter the sig later!

I'll second that, quite early on in the game after getting a horse and running across country my frame rate was struggling to make it past 5fps, turning shadows etc off barely helped.

man_from_uncle · 30 Jun 2006 at 15:02

Having said that the bottleneck will be you CPU not your graphics cards. You'll find your performance outside is pretty much fine, but there will be a few scenes in cities, anvil in particular, where you can stare at a door and not get out of the 20's in terms of frames a second.

MeatLoaf · 30 Jun 2006 at 15:24

Yeah, ive got everything on max at 1440x900 and in some parts it drops to below 20FPS, but in others its over 70.

man_from_uncle · 30 Jun 2006 at 16:00

I'm at 1600x1200 using HDR and have similar performance. I've got a fairly well tweaked ini file though. I've tended to find that the min frames a second (which is the killer in this game rather than the average) is not really that related to resolution.

fullfat · 30 Jun 2006 at 16:12

condemned tbh, its the FEAR game engine but its had a makeover and now runs like silk on high spec hardware, the games not bad either actually

Psypher5 · 30 Jun 2006 at 17:06

OBlivion with natural mods / ini tweaks and all the glory. I dare you

Made my game totaly unplayable
