Installed SLI and no resulst are seen.

[janbas]

Hello.

Today i got my second GTX 770.
i installed sli and started up some games i dont see any differents my fps are the same
i do use nvidia surround maybe i did something wrong in the install.

this is in the configurationscreen: http://gyazo.com/5eec963c6f56c0b53620daa4cf06c43c

i dont know if physx should be on one of my gtx cards or on cpu.

i hope anyone can help me.

kind regards janbas

to be sincere you are caught in this marketing trap that is going on. one gtx 770 is more than enough for years to come. sell the other.

can you post the image in English i cant understand it
but you have to enable sli and not surround
you need to put maximize 3d performance for it to work

SLI should increase your frame rates about 80% for the second card (reviews on Tom's if you need). Have you tried using something like Fraps to see the frame rate differences? You should keep Physx on the video cards being they can do it much faster than most CPU's.

he should let it set automatically it works better
i use sli at the moment it works better than setting it your self

@tzn sicne i have surround i only hat 30-60 fps in some games i play alot, and the screens on the right and left are kind of stutering. this shuold help.

@nickbachu this is the best i can http://gyazo.com/bc93c04943b90db4071250055bf9462e

it would be interesting to found out which game(s) and/or tool(s) were used for benchmarking the pc for a before and after SLi comparison

why?
1). if the games does not support SLi then frame rate won't change
2). how did the OP measure the frame rate change/consistency in the first place, it's normally a metric which can only be seen through frame rate readings

 

[nickbachu]

ok you need to take the dvi cable off the second card and put it on the first card and setup the monitors with multiple monitors in nvidia control panel
and enable the first one maximize 3d performance

uhm yhe now i dont have surround anymore.
and withouth surruond i dont know what my fps was but it was already high

the only place i can choose surround is on that screen but you say i should use 3d-prestations maximize

 

[nickbachu]

you want to play a game on all monitors then you have to set it up the way you had it before for sli it will increase frames rates in games
surround strechs the game across the monitor i believe

 

[janbas]

so in other words i hat it configured right all the way?

 

[nickbachu]

no not necessarily
sli helps you gain frame rates while using surround decreases frame rates

 

[janbas]

so you saying if i put surround on sli stops working?

 

[nickbachu]

yes because the cards work separately compared to sli where they work in sync

Incorrect, it is possible to have surround and SLi at the same time and always has been.

[nickbachu]

yes but is is not feasible since he is not using display ports

 

[Mousemonkey]

yes but is is not feasible since he is not using display ports

They are Nvidia cards not AMD cards so the OP doesn't have to use the DP ports.

 

[nickbachu]

go read the article you have there
im running sli and im telling you that is not fesiable since he doesnt used display port im running 4 monitors so please tell me how

According to the pictures the OP is only using three monitors.

 

[nickbachu]

yes but read the settings
