BF2 in SLI - 8800GTs

[djnsmith7]

Howdy Folks,

I went through several headaches before finally getting BF2 to run smoothly in SLI & without a ton of CTDs. I probably tried a total of 4 different drivers over a period of 12 months without success.

That is until this weekend, when I tried it again with the 197.45 drivers. I played for about 2 hours last night with only 1 CTD, where previously I would've had at least 10-15.

Just thought I'd share in case anyone else went through a similar experience.

This is for Rig 2.

What's a CTD?

Crash to Desktop...

You probably have tried this already, but setting your PCIE speed to 105 or 110 can often help stability immensely for SLI cards if you have a issue with CTDs. I would try 105 first, and 110 if 105 doesnt do much. Beyond 110 and you are asking for trouble.

I actually have not tried that yet, but I will, thanks.

That Sir has 'miffed' me - I use to run a FX-55, A8N-SLI MB, 6600Gt's in SLI, back in 1995, when BF2 came out - it ran perfectly. Odd, you are having issue 5 years later.. unless you are meaning BFBC2?

Nope, BF2...just barely started working right in SLI...
