Hey guys,quick questions,do you feel any shutering while playing in games on diffrent sli?

i mean i have 2x gtx 660 ti diffrent brands one vram 3gb second 2 gb,works well in sli , having some fps performance (arround 40-60%) in bf4 for example but i feel like games are shuttering while im playing on sli (i dont using sli bridge because it giving me artefacts and sli dont working well,i guess sli bridge is broken but is new one lol :p never ued before,unpacked right before i install diffrent sli tool) so only bride connecting cads is pci 2.0 which is 2x slower (5,5 gb bandwitch) than sli connector bridge (10 gb/s bandwitch)


it is kinda weird because for example i have stable arround 80 - 100 fps in bf4 multi with gtx 660 ti SLI so performance is HUGE but i feels like game is shutering....


and in any tests performance is improve so huge...so what to do with it?Use sli or not?im so confused...halp plox

Can this be used for quad-sli 460's? In other words --- 2 X GTX460 2WIN's in SLI?

Thanks

Hmmm, strange: I´m using the latest NVidia Drivers. SLI couldn´t be activated any more. So I tried DifferentSLI. Followed the instructions for installation, after 4th try everything ist O.K. SLI can be activated now, but ... I´m now in the Windows 7 Testing Mode. Any suggestions?

Thanx,

Sukram.

Because of the Sli driver is not driver signed the test mode is required for disable driver signing enforcement. Its a good thing.

ok os we have a problem right now...the rig is:
Case: Corsair 200R (Black)
CPU: i5-4570 @ 3.2GHz (with stock cooler)
RAM: 8GB G.SKILL RipJaws X Series DDR3-1600
MOBO: MSI B85-G41 PC Mate (SATA 6.0Gb/s, USB 3)
GPU: EVGA GTX 760 2GB w/ ACX Cooling
GPU: MSI N760 TF 2GD5/OC (GeForce GTX 760 GAMING)
HDD: 1TB Western Digital Blue
PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA NEX 750 B 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified 750W
Monitor: Panasonic TV FULL HD 60HZ
Corsair M65 8200 DPI mouse
Keyboard: CM Storm QuickFire Rapid Mechanical Keyboard (Cherry MX Blue switches)
Steelseries Siberia v2 headset

when i bought the setup, i didnt plan to install the msi gtx 760 card on my mobo...only bought evga gtx 760.........my mistake was to get a crossfire mobo instead of a sli one..now when i installed the new gpu i realized that my motherboard only suppor crossfire x ...now i have been searching for a way to hack the mobo..
then i got the DIFFERENTSLI link from @Snoopi25 and we tried using that...we tried using the 340 driver , 338 driver , 334 driver ...everytime there was the same error...we tried everything from scratch everytime, rebooted after everystep just to be safe but the error is still there...i am attaching the screenshots....any help would be greatly appreciated...

follow readme.txt to step 8

instead of right click -> running Install.bat as administrator do the following:

start cmd as Administrator from Start->Run
cd to DifferentSLI folder
run Install.bat from the cmd prompt you started

resume at step 9

Ember, did you go through CID33's version which he amended for 8.1? If it works and you're happy with it, can you upload your official copy and I'll have it added to the front page.

This happens because of frame latency moving up and down. It's better to have a solid flat rate, than to have constantly changing. It's this changing that makes things feel and look unsmooth.
You need to do two things to ensure it doesn't happen.

1) Lock your frame rate, for example to 60.
2) Force your application and frame rate to lock to your monitors native hz frequency, i.e. 60
3) Optional : If using SLI/Crossfire, never use Triple Buffering

Vsync can only partially do this for you and doesn't work equally for all applications.
A program like Inspector (Nvidia) or Radeon Pro (AMD) has these options.

For reference a SLI/Crossfire setup on a 60hz monitor at 60fps synced, is 16.9ms of latency

Is the 4GB model in the first PCIE slot? If not, can you move it there?
Also, please note that people have had some problems using different VRAM sized cards.

I know they are the some model, but have you confirmed they are the same Device ID number?

What is your motherboard?
What driver version are you using for the GPUs?
