SLI question.....

[gotrice]

Hey, I was wondering which method should be better in nvidia sli:

SLI Performance Mode: Nvidia Recommanded, Split Frame Rendering, or Alternate Frame Rendering?

I've heard Alternate Frame Rendering recommended before, so I'd go with that.

Alternate Frame Rendering there two of them Alternate Frame Rendering 1 and Alternate Frame Rendering 2 which one to choose.

Hmmm....based on a little reading I just did, I'd choose "Alternate Frame Rendering 1". It would seem that "Alternate Frame Rendering 2" can be faster in certain games, but isn't as universally compatible, so t might not work with some of your other games.

Do it on a per game basis, check your FPS in the same part of a level for all the types and choose the best performing one, or just use the "NVIDIA RECOMMENDED" button. When I had SLI'd 8800GT's I didn't have any problems with the recommended settings.

Some hardcore competition gamers swear by Split Frame Rendering, most people use Alternate Frame Rendering.
Dont know your views on ATI but i know they use AFR by default.

I like ATI but currently the nvidia sli was a cheaper way for bang for the buck, my next card hopefully will be an ATI. At first I thought Split Frame Rendering would be a better choice, but I guess most people are saying go with AFR. Thanks for the help guys I'll try the AFR 1 and see how well does that one perform.

Edit: I guess AFR 1 is the best choice , because using that setting I am getting 50-60fps on everything very high @ 1600x1200 with no aa.
