NVIDIADoom Hotfix Driver Brings SLI Support

[Arachnotronic]

If you're diving into the Doom multiplayer open beta over the next few days, you'll want to download and install our special Doom Hotfix Driver. It'll improve your experience when battling foes online, and enable SLI support.

At least id Tech 6 supports SLI (and very likely Crossfire for AMD users). This wasn't supported on id Tech 5, much to my chagrin...

Have to see it to believe it because id Tech 5 is notorious for no multi-GPU support.

Yeah, and no hi-refresh rate support, either. id Tech 5 was a huge, gimmicky disappointment.

That is good to hear

I mean I was always going to play the living snot out of Doom single-player, but maybe with 144hz support + SLI support (to allow me to hit 144fps), the multiplayer will be a decent experience.

I am totally going to give Doom MP every possible chance even though the Beta was kind of a turd.

Looking forward to playing the Beta tomorrow.

I am also impatiently waiting for Doom

If they support SLI, Crossfire and 144mhz frequency, it will be awsome, but they have to support multi-monitors too.

Doom is up! Now!!!

 

[Kippa]

Any reports of texture tearing at the sides of the screen like in Rage? Or has the new id engine fixed that issue?

 

[Arachnotronic]

Doom is up! Now!!!

So it is! Played a round, performance on my 980 Tis is quite nice, though no 144hz option enabled yet. I saw rumors that it's in the "advanced" settings that will be exposed in the final game.

 

[guskline]

Yes I had fun with it also running my 980TI in rig 1 below. Moving on to try it with the 290s in CF

 

[guskline]

Worked fine in R9 290 CF

 

[Hitman928]

Guskline, did you confirm crossfire is indeed working?

Can you confirm that both GPUs are being used? If so, this game will be much more interesting to both NVIDIA and AMD high end users :thumbsup:

All they need is 144hz support and I will be very happy

No I cannot confirm. I'll try to run fraps but they capped fps at 60.

Check with afterburner if it has usage on both gpus?

 

[Silverforce11]

It feels weird. I don't like the spawning with whatever weapon you want x2 off the bat.

Players should start with a crap weapon and earn more powerful ones by finding and competing for powerful weapons around the arena.

Feels very COD like.

Also, why rocket splash feel so weak? Where's the physics?

Installing now. Maybe this game won't suck after all. SLI + 144hz in the full game is a good thing to hear. I'll play the beta tomorrow. What do you guys think of the graphics? Do you like them?

 

[cytg111]

Mmm.. Doom MP.. My new fetish? Will have to check out.

What do technical qualities have to do with how good it is?

The original doesn't support SLI either, and it most likely will still be better in the end.

The original Doom did not support any GPU, at all...

Why make that comparison?

I made the comparison because he said the game might not suck because it'll support SLI.

Doesn't matter anyway, he probably didn't mean it literally.
