I have a 2080ti with a 8086K . I also have crash to desktop after 2 minutes. It appears that DLSS is NOT supported on 2080ti when you play 1440p, it is ONLY supported at 4k. Now when i look in my videomenu ingame, DLSS is greyed out so i cant disable on enable it. But it shows like it is enabled. I will check the Dogness option and see what happens when it is disabled. Issues started when the driver updated from Nvidia 417.71 to the 418 and 419 versions . They mentioned DLSS activated but ever since it was crash to desktop. I will get back on it when i have checked Dogness option. Thank you OG ---

EA/Dice, Ever since the recent update from NVidia’s lastest RTX driver support DLSS. After enabling DX12/DXR ON & DLSS option with graphics to Ultra on Auto. GPU restriction is set to off. The game works for a few minutes and then dashboards/crashes to desktop or when initial loading begins upon entering a server. Its a hit or miss sometimes to get into a game or even when it does crash, relaunching it just doesn’t seem to work. Restarting Origin/or even my PC does do the trick to get back into the main menu. When I do its a rinse and repeat situation. The game tends to hiccup on a frame during game play. You will see a slight frame jump when using the scope or even while running. While playing not even for 5-10 mins the game just quits to the desktop.

So, this SLI “workaround” also gives jerks the ability to use Potatofield graphics again? ---

> [@alienstout](#): > > So, this SLI “workaround” also gives jerks the ability to use Potatofield graphics again? Sadly, yes. Which is why their “solution” was a bad one to begin with ! But it seems that bad sales means that neither EA/Dice, can be bothered to spend too much time/money improving this game in any way… what is surprising is that nvidia isn’t pushing more for sli either, as this game is basically being used as a poster child for nvidia tech. ---

If you can’t use DLSS on a 2080 in 1080p, then why does Geforce Experience recommend it on for optimal settings?? Is it only in 1920x1080 it can’t be used? I’m using 2560x1080 and I am able to turn it, which btw results in crash. ---

I’m using 2560x1080 and I am able to turn it, which btw results in crash. Why on earth would you use dlss at 1080p in the first place? 1080p is plenty blurry in the first place. ---

Has anyone from DICE or EA officially stated why SLI has been disabled? Manuel Guzman from NVIDIA said that DICE chose to kill support for it…for the “time being” and that it could be added later. Just wondering why they did this. ---

Don’t expect them to elaborate on that, the “why did they”, etc. It won’t happen. It’s quite alarming that they have choosen to take this approach… the battlefield series was one of the last bastions for sli, and now just like ubi did with asscreed, dice choose to completely cut the support out of nowhere. Luckily we will likely be able to force sli in battlefield games for as long as they continue to use the frostbite engine and offer dx11 suport. ---

Thank you for that tips but I’ve been through all of this, but at point 7 settings in NVinspector go back to default after checking the “read only” square !!! Have you seen similar issue before ! I can’t understand why this happen… Thanks ! ---

Hello, I see this post includes the term “SLI issues” and while I realize this is meant for people using the workaround (which to my knowledge disables weather effects, if it does not then please correct me), I would like to add to the discussion that we are still waiting for official SLI support from Dice. I have a dual 1080ti setup and I primarily have built my PCs to play the Battlefield series at high resolutions and max detail (I am a very longtime BF fan, even before it came to consoles). Not having SLI at launch was a bit of a surprise being that BF was always a series you could rely on for this, although with BF1 I seem to remember having to wait a bit too. I realize that getting RTX working was priority, but now that it and DLSS seems to be stabilized, can we at least get an ETA or a solid yes or no whether we will see SLI or DX12 mGPU in BFV? My single card actually does a decent job of maintaining 4k 60fps and that is likely due to the great optimization this game has, however my use case is now 98fps 4k… ---

I can’t enable DLSS in Battlefield V RTX 2080 TI I9-9900K (4.2mhz) Monitor - 3440x1440, 115ghz, with G-Sync Windows 10 pro x64 1809 Screenshot inactive button - [Imgur: The magic of the Internet](https://imgur.com/a/nwi7tLl) I have the latest version of GameReadyDriver installed, I also tried to enable DLSS with CreatorReadyDriver, but the button is also inactive. But when DLSS appeared in Battlefield 5 - I could enable DLSS, it did the picture bad (as if lowering resolution), but it was included. Also I was told that the problem may be in the version of NGX, but now I have the latest version - 1.2.14.115 on GameReadyDriver (and 1.2.14.120 on CreatorReadyDriver) Help please… [Previous page](https://battlefieldforum.co/t/megathread-sli-and-dlss-issues/107769.md?page=14) [Next page](https://battlefieldforum.co/t/megathread-sli-and-dlss-issues/107769.md?page=16)
