OK... I think domino or quick-sand comes to mind now. After basically building a new PC with: ASUS P5N-T Deluxe mother board Intel Quad-Core2-6600 4GB Patriot DDR2 1066 Memory (3) eVGA 8800GTX graphics cards with 3-Way SLI Bridge installed (3) Acer AL2416W 24" widescreen monitors 1200 Watt Power Supply Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate 32Bit I can't get the 3-Way SLI settings to be show in the nVidia control panel. I've tried a few different drivers but none seem to show the option to enable/manage SLI mode. Any suggestions I'd appreciate. |

You can't use SLI (dual or triple) with more than one monitor. (unless you're using TH2Go, which you didn't mention) |

Sorry about that... Yes I do have a TH2GO Digital Ed. I have only 1 DVI port from the 8800GTX installed in PCI-e slot-1 that's connected to TH2Go. But the driver within Vista is not showing any SLI setting options in the 3D settings area of the nVidia Control Panel. |

It ended up being the driver version. Once I installed v169.25 the SLI option was avaliable in nVidia Control Panel. creX:Napster over on SLI Zone recommended this version and it's good. Life is good! |

it's a pity you already found a solution to your problem, otherwise i would have suggested to send me two of you GTXs'. :D :D just kidding. could you do me a favor and do a few frametime benchmarks? i would really appreciate that. .25 is the original Triple-SLi Driver. |

Sure I'd be happy to do a frametime benchmark... give me a little bit but I’ll do it soon. Picked up Crysis and in graphic settings I clicked select based on system. It selected everything as “Very High†|

Fraps (http://www.fraps.com/) is a freeware program that allows you do capture videos screenshots and frametimes. you can download it here (http://www.fraps.com/download.php) everything else can be set in the options and is probably described in the readme. the issue with multi-GPU settings is that the average framerate rises (shorter average frametimes), but the frames come unsyncronized. e.g.: Single GPU 30FPS: 33 - 33 - 33 - 33 - 33 SLI 30FPS: 53 - 13 - 53 - 13 - 53 - 13 both have a 30FPS = 33ms per frame on average, but the deviation with multi-GPU is way higher. So a frametime benchmark would give information if this occurs also with triple-Sli. @Edward: you get other FPS? or do you just wonder? :D :D |
