Different Options Again In Nvidia

[DasFox]

I just bought 7900gt cards for my SLI system and with the latest Nvidia driver, 84.21 I noticed the options for SLI are different. I believe using the XG tweaked drivers I saw settings similar to these below:

'Auto Select'
'Alternate Frame Rendering'
'Split Frame Rendering'

In these drivers all I see is:

'Single GPU Rendering'
'SLI Antialiasing'
'SLI Multi GPU'

What happened to the first three?

THANKS

To see the others you either need the XG drivers or Coolbits 2. The XG drivers have all the coolbits (2) features built it, you just need the reghack to get it.

ok thanks, because playing Oblivion, I'm not getting good results:

Maybe if I get this and change the SLI settings the game will play better.

THANKS

Oblivion currently has known issues with SLI in that it won't use it.

Does the XG 84.25 driver fix that? Cause didn't some guy create a thread saying he was using the XG 84.25 driver and he was getting fps in 30-50 range at some high res?
Can't really remember.

someone here was happy with his 7900GT SLi ...so how is this a " currently known issues"? who told u about tht?

Yes the XTreme-G 84.25.v2 fixed it, game plays great SLI and all.

By the way is there a console setting to check the FPS in the game?

Works great for me in SLI, but one thing I get with all the games I'm playing is movement in first person games, stutters, sticks for a second, from time to time when moving left and right or forward.

Not sure if this is because of running a CRT at one resolution and the game at another, or running SLI, or that I have a dual core AMD, hmm

THANKS

P.S. I was going to buy Fraps but at a cost of $37 I said the heck with that!

I belive the console setting is "tdt" without the "".

This is just more BFG10K nVIDIA driver bullsh!t! :roll: He seriously needs to quit smoking whatever it is he smokes...

Check this nvnews thread out - it's about Clay of nVnews testing Oblivion on an SLi rig the night it launched in the USA...

Clay was lucky enough to find an Electronics Boutique that would sell him a copy of Oblivion tonight. Check out his screenshots and video clips in the forum!

BFG10K isn't saying SLI won't run oblivion, he's saying that oblivion doesn't utilize SLI so 2 7900GTs in SLI will preform similarly to 1 7900GT

My framerates out doors in the mountains is around 30-50 and on occassion it jumps for a few seconds to 75, so I can see I don't have bad rates, but why do I get a slight stutter when moving in the game from time to time?

I mean every few minutes there will be a slight, ever so slight stutter when I look, say left or right and when just generally moving, going forward.

With this dual core AMD, SLI system, I am finding out that most games I play I experience this, so I get the feeling it's just having a gaming rig, that does not have good support for, I mean SLI and dual core.
