[citation][nom]randomizer[/nom]Yes... and?[/citation]


the guy probably just wanted to put emphasis on that part because it maybe vital to getting the evga workaround to work.
 
[citation][nom]roofus[/nom]it isnt a workaround. they are predefined profiles for SLI to save an individual the pain of optimizing their cards for specific games.[/citation]

yes ty capt obvious i also read the article. the article also addressed this as a workaround, however i understand what the actual solution is as would most people who can read.

anybody else wanna nitpick? i got all night.
 
Dude.. for things like this, i always buy evga cards. You wont find any other company that puts so much emphasis on satisfying the costumer. evga ftw.
 
[citation][nom]randomizer[/nom]It is a workaround, because it is only a temporary "solution" while NVIDIA sits on their ass instead of making official profiles.[/citation]

it doesnt take much effort to do this. i am not taking anything away from EVGA for providing this feature but it isnt anything that a person cant do themselves. there probabably are a couple of games that may be a pain to get right but for the most part, someone running SLI is most likely a personality type that cant leave well enough alone and will create their own anyways and only revert to predefined profiles if they cant get a game working right. no magic to it.

There are many SLI owners who wouldn't know how to do this it (Dell XPS owners maybe :kaola:). You need to think from the POV of people with money but no brains and no ability to use Google. Then there are those who would rather not mess with it because they are lazy.

In any case, this is a marketing stint more than anything else, but it's a good one as long as EVGA can pull it off smoothly.
 
I could not agree more. I just hate messing with that, most online forums suck for information on what settings run Company Of Heroes with sli best, i could never figure it out and now i have a 2nd GPU for no reason. Its disabled since i cannot get it to work with the majority of the games i run besides Crysis, it seems to like crysis or i might be wrong that game freezes 2.
 
here's a question... why don't the publishers of the game have a pre-set profile for SLI?

No matter what your stance is, this is a good thing evga is doing. Could most proficient users spend some time playing with settings to figure it out? Yep! But the point is to not have to waste your time.

And yes, we can whine about nVidia's driver support all day it's not going to change their stance. And ATi fans can boast all day about their wonderful support and sound just like the Mac freak hippies I have to listen to, but I'll still buy whatever gives me the performance edge.

I'd say Valve does a pretty good job in that department too. Free DLC for L4D? Free class updates for TF2? There are some companies we just like to support... I'd put EVGA in the same boat as Valve.
 
Yeah valve is great, I love how halflife2 deathmatch randomly crashes on every system I play it on :) I ask other people on my friend's list after mine crashes and about 80% of the time theirs crashes to desktop at the same time as mine.

180+ series drivers are buggy for me and I'm running non-SLI. (BSOD on boot up and checkerboard artifacts freezing the computer) Until nvidia fixes them, I'm sticking with 178.24.
