Nvidia Crowbar Explained : GTX 690 Promo

Four vsync links, why?

You could have just said SLI, and even Single cards have a driver issue that can cause stuttering with vsync...


The difference here is that one is a driver bug, and the other is a "feature".

those aren't 4 vsync links

1 is a surround issue

1 is a mouse polling issue with the drivers

2 vsync

It seems that quad and tri belong to NVDA and it's not so clear about two-way SLI vs two-way CF. This is not taking microstutter into account, but nothing short of super-slow-motion cameras will definitively measure that, apparently.

By the way fish I asked you before but you didn't answer.... what video card(s) do you have in your fastest gaming rig?

The graphs that Fisherman posted are nearly worthless. Most of them don't even show AMD CF benchmarks. And they do not match what other sites have shown.

If you want to sensationalize and nit pick you need to be fair and do it to both sides.


I can help

There are going to be odd ball problems here and there for both companies. By continually searching out and bringing attention to one sides issues in these threads just stirs up the pot. How about we just try a new tactic and be adults.

I don't want to nitpick but [H] mentioned plenty of times in their review that sli seemed smoother than cf.Now as for me i won't touch multigpu but amd has always been pretty lazy to solve these issues.

Ahh, so two were solved by the user base... Ie using a lower polling mouse, and a ini edit. While the other two were solved by not using vsync?

Nicely done, I'd bother to go google a huge list of issues for AMD but I really don't see the point.


Show me the user fix for AMD dropping MS correction after 5xxx series.
