when I turn of forced SLi use for FPSC, should I turn on force alternate frame rendering 1 or 2 or single GPU or which one of these SLi performance settings? any insight on this matter? I use 2 9800gt's in SLi

FPSC is not programmed to use two GPU's so no matter what you will do,it will only use one.

oh. that's not nice to hear, I read on nvidia's website that if you wanted to force turn on SLi for a program, than you make a custom profile for it and it will override.

I've never liked them. I have an ATI card in my 10,000 mac and it essentially ruined it. also I don't have the money to get a new one + my motherboard would probably explode.

yep 40 on average is not bad. goes up to 55 or so when not doing anything. down to thirty when we bring 50 explosions, physX, and mile long vistas into play. not to mention like 20 guys.

Wow, that's sad. (not in a mean way. but...)
I bought my new computer for 600 dollars, It plays every game with 30fps on high no matter the game.


Get Nvida my friend...

not bad master dynasty, I don't like that OEM gfx card though. my computer, which was in total built, about 650$ can run any game of full settings, and I haven't yet found one I get less than an average of 55 FPS on (save crysis)

Dude seriously,who the hell still puts 3 years old GPU's in a new computer? Not that I don't like nVidia,I am a fan but this year,ATI wins the game so I bought myself a Radeon 4770 with 1gb of memory and seriously overclocked. Compared to the previous overclocked Geforce 9500gt,it's like going from bicycle to a shuttle.

Let me try to explain as best as I can.

The 9800 Gt's in SLI with forced SLI mode is technically working. However, the program FPSC does not utilize the hardware (your GPU) so its not really rendering anything (shaders, texture ect..) through your GPU's so even in SLI the second card isnt doing anything because no data is passing through that one card can't handle. It's the way the engine was coded.

From my experience with Nvidia and ATI. Nvidia's engineers have never really been top notch with their processors, like Ati has, they are the first to really have their cards operate under a Ghz core clock. The ATI cards power is extream. They have many streaming processors and the actual processor resembles that of a AMD CPU (Fusion technology) however, that being said, their catalyst drivers are horrendous. The software they use to utilize the true potential of the cards power is just plain horrendous.

Now, Nvidias cards may not pack as much as power as ATI's but the software drivers they use truly boosts the performance and utilizes the card much more than the specs say. The other software they have (Pysx, cuda, ect) are truly amazing and state of the art.

If ATI's engineers joined up with Nvidias programmers. We would be looking at cards running under 28nm technology and at least 1ghz stable core clock.

The ATI's 6000 series cards are coming out early 2011 with a rumored hybrid architecture Northern island and southern island, running at either 45nm or 32nm technology. You can expect them to be beast, but hopefully they do something with catalyst. Or I hope that Nvidias cards that will combat them are beast.

Wow, if your 5700 is that poor in performance...
something must be up. I have a 5570 and it runs
Crysis, Left 4 Dead 2, and Unreal Tournament 3
on Max Settings with high FPS and without dropping
in scenes that require massive rendering.

I can also build my test maps smoothly and quick in UDK.
For $500 that was a rip off. Mine was only $90 AND its
the mini version if the card.

Windows 7 Home - 32 Bit
AMD Athlon X2 64 Bit 2.7 ghz
ATI 5570 1 GB DDR3
2 GB RAM DDR2 ( I know it could be more but I don't need more)

Ati is also a win for me. Catalyst might not be the #1 option
when overclocking your card though. There are 3rd party options
that can raise the potential of the card to its max.
ATI's Catalyst doesn't do it because if you don't have a good
cooling system, you'll melt your card. I tend to upgrade PC's
to a nitro cooled high tower with the latest tech after the new
gen of ATI and Nvidia cards come out.

9800's aren't bad either dude. I was an Nvidia person myself
but I just choose ATI because it fit my budget better and did
exceptionally well.

Right now the only problem is nVidia has no decent GPU on the market to sell so ATI is selling like crazy. But I am definately buying a nVidia in the future.

I hope Lee does something about SLI and Crossfire and also using multiple cores form CPU.

It's not miss-spelled, I wanted a twist.

Yeah, and that was right from the store too! If i had built the computer myself it would probably be around that price! I think it was a good deal.

Yeah but it won't be very succesful,also still pricey. I always buy a GPU around 80-120€ and runs everything for the next year,then I buy a new one.

That is probably a triple-core too.
I could get a maxed out PC for only $800
built but I'd rather wait until I get some
other things paid before doing so.

I also doubt this will happen with X9. It seems like
overkill to allow that anyway. I'm not saying it couldn't
be done but the program was probably built in mind
that most people will be building games with a single GFX card.
