2080 ti can only be played at 4k resolution to use DLSS, 2080 is 1440p and higher, 2070 is 1080p and higher ---

you need to be running at 4k in order to use the DLSS on the 2080 Ti ---

By allowing people to force “cartoon mode” onto competitive multiplayer games (what I consider cheating). If this is what DICE can do to fix that then Nvidias whole profile system is poorly designed and need to be upgraded to allow SLI AND the game controlling it’s own graphics at the same time. ---

> [@Carbonic](#): > > If this is what DICE can do to fix that then Nvidias whole profile system is poorly designed and need to be upgraded to allow SLI AND the game controlling it’s own graphics at the same time. The tools are already there; Dice just chose not to use them. As my quote (that’s me, BTW) from Reddit suggested: Check the profile for the specific LOD settings. Dice knows which ones they are, and the NVAPI will let them check those specifically. If those settings (and _ **ONLY** _ those settings) have changed: throw a fault and kick the person out of the game. Simple, easy, done. SLI users can continue to make changes so they can enjoy using both of their cards, and LOD cheaters get the boot like they deserve. Instead, Dice took the easy (and potentially legally challenging.. hold for that..) route: change the profile back. Well, as others have stated, it effectively shunts any UAC that Windows has running by using NVAPI. The end user is never alerted that the files are being changed. I… uh… wonder what Microsoft will think of that when they find out? I’ll bet a paycheck they won’t like it. ---

> [@jasonvp](#): > > I do have a slight concern regarding the editing of the SLI profile, and it’s something that’s recently come to light. Folks have figured out and started editing the game’s NVidia profile to completely de-content the game. As an example, Jack posted a YouTube video today showing the results of it. He did _not_ say how to do it or even name the Inspector outright. Just the results of doing it. > > He’s noted a few people have been banned outright for this, but I don’t think it was automated. And in each case of those bans, the offender was also clearly using an aimbot cheat. But, according to him, Dice has said they are working on a way to “detect” this and outright ban people for doing it. > > There’s literally no way they can do this via the game. They can only do it by running checksums on the NVidia profiles, which change with every single driver. And randomly running checksums against another part of the operating system (eg: the driver in this case) will open them up to allllll sorts of potential legal trouble. So keep that part in mind. > > But **IF** they do it, this may mean trouble for those of us who want SLI. Called this one on 20 Jan, didn’t I? … Ugh! ---

I… uh… wonder what Microsoft will think of that when they find out? I’ll bet a paycheck they won’t like it. Considering BFV is a Nvidia title and DICE has access to and get help from Nvidia developers directly (RTX and their AI AA) what you are saying doesn’t make a lot of sense. So I don’t think it’s as simple as that. But unless a DICE Frostbite engine programmer or the like appears on here or on Reddit/Twitter I don’t think we will have the full story, only speculations. ---

This might be the most not ready for release of a game in EA history. 6 months later and problems still exist left and right. ---

So I don’t think it’s as simple as that. Sorry Carbonic, but it _IS_ as simple as that. It just takes a bit more effort on Dice’s part to make it happen. Option 1: Tell the NVidia driver, via NVAPI, to fully reset the “Battlefield V” profile. Option 2: Check the “Battlefield V” profile via NVAPI to see if the various LOD bits have changed and alert if they have. Which do you think would take less time and effort to implement? If you said “Choice 1”, you win the prize. As much as I love playing Battlefield games, this specific game has been rife with “” and poorly thought-out solutions to various problems. Our latest LOD vs SLI problem is no different. ---
