SLI profiles made easy

For those that don't like writing profiles for games nVidia hasn't tested/included yet, this thing is sweet.

It's as easy as browsing to your executable, picking AFR vs SFR SLI, and hitting "Save". Not quite "out of the box" user friendly, but nothing someone who knows how to use Windows can't do in his/her sleep.

Very handy for testing AFR SLI vs SFR SLI vs None as well.

I checked it out this morning, works slick.
 
The only problem I have with this proggie is that you are required to be using 71.20 or higher. I tried the 71.20 modified drivers and had some lockups, so then moved to the 71.80 and had some weird happenings in the lower right part of the screen at 1600x1200 in UT2k4, FC, and HL2 with SLI.

So, I just went to the 67.66 and all that went away. Haven't tried the 71.81 or any other ones, so there might be one in there for me that could work. I think I just might keep making my own profiles instead for now.

It's worthwhile for three reasons Bouzouki:
1.For people that have SLI, it's an easy way to create and edit profiles
2. For people considering SLI, it's shows them there's an easy way to create and edit profiles
3. For people who say, "SLI is compatible with 12 games! Waah!" it proves them liars, or at best, misinformed

As SLI is the only relevant video card topic now, other than ATI re-releasing their last years line again, I'd say it's a good post?

He didn't say it wasn't worthwhile, Rollo. I think someone slipped something into both of your drinks tonight, lol.
That's a cool program. What's AFR and SFR stand for, and what is the difference?

I stand corrected if my sarcasm meter is faulty after many bourbon/cokes today and offer my apology to Bouzouki.

SFR- Split frame rendering- each card renders some percentage of the screen

AFR-Alternate Frame Rendering- each card renders every other frame



 
Are there any performance differences between the two methods, or instances where you would want to use one over the other?

Yep. Some games benefit more from one than the other, a few don't benefit from either. Benchmarking is the only way to tell maximum gain, that is what the nV profiles give you- they've already done it for you.
