I’ve been running 2 GTX 780 in SLI for the last 5 years never once had any issues in Battlefield. I use Geforce experience and run my games off that. It gives me the best performance for my hardware. 5 year old hardware runs BF5 no issues  
Asus sabertooth z87 motherboard  
intel I7 4770  
32 gigs corsair ram  
and the list goes on

Unless you’re A)using an older driver or B)using an edited profile, you’re not using SLI with BFV. That’s a fact.

So Nvidia / DICE get your act together and give us a proper BFV SLI Profile. SLI users bought two of your cards Nvidia so maybe we deserve some love.!!

In my Nvidia control panel under configure SLI, Surround, PhysX , SLI is enabled, so unless the game itself doesn’t use it? I still get 70-90 FPS with these cards in BF5

I’m using driver 417.71

> 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.

But, according to him, Dice has said they are working on a way to “detect” this and outright ban people for doing it.

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.

The “cheat” in question is changing the dx lod values to a positive, preventing alpha textures (aka foilage) from being rendered.

We do not touch lod settings when setting up sli, so i don’t see it being an issue 🙂

I understand that completely. The issue is that I don’t believe there’s a programmatic way for them to check specific details of the driver like that. I could be wrong, but I don’t believe they can actually do that. And if not, it means they’re left to do checksums on the _entire_ driver. Which is ridiculous.

You’re not using SLI then. Check the specific program settings for BFV in the “Manage 3D Settings” tab.

I am quite certain that they won’t do anything as foolish as that. What they can do however, is overwrite the nvidia settings, just like they do with prerendered frames, forcing the game to run at dx lod 0.0, as is also the default.

yep you are correct ☹

BF1 is using SLI

BF5 single gpu, I’m still impressed that a single GTX780 ( NOT A TI ) is giving me 70-90 FPS in this game with only (post - processing quality ) is on medium and all other setting are on high or ultra

SLI and Crossfire both have a huge frame time penalty compared to single GPU solutions. I run a 2080 @ 1440p and just tune the graphics settings to where I can pull high FPS like I always have.

No they don’t. Frame time is how long it takes for the computer to render a frame, which will usually be SHORTER with multi gpu.

What you are thinking of is input latency, and still the answer is no. With stock settings, both single gpu and sli uses 3 prerendered frames, giving them the exact same input latency.

Single gpu can ofc be used with just 1 prerendered frame, and thus obtain a shorter input latency, but the vast majority just use stock settings.

yeah I am with you on that , I would never step down to 1440p from 4k , I am averaging with my RTX2080 with decent OC around the 65/70fps depends the map

I know I’m the anomaly here… but my 1080ti’s are working fine and SLI rendering does not even show under 3d settings for this game.

Is there anything useful like a .cfg file from the BF5 game itself that might help?

There has to be a way to get SLI running minus using Nvidia inspector… I’ve never downloaded or installed it. I use Afterburner (rivatuner) On Screen Display to track GPU usage and in game it often is over 90% on both cards. One of the things that miffs me is even in the game menu the GPU usage is often very high on both cards… like wth is it rendering?

If there is anything else I can post up that might be useful let me know. I’ve tested functionality in game by disabling SLI in the NVCP… the OSD accurately shows one card idling at 0% usage and the frame rates drop significantly.

I did have SLI running when I briefly played BF1 with a pair of 980ti’s. I uninstalled that game some time ago. Dunno if it’s possible any holdover settings from that game might be effecting BF5.. just thought I’d toss that out there.

As I wrote in the other thread you asked about this: This isn’t possible. We have to wait for Dice to add DX12 mGPU support into the game. Until then, you’re either DX12 and single GPU, or DX11 and edited SLI profile.

“We have to wait” sounds like will never happen, Too many bugs, too many people crying about buff of nerf weapons, no time for performance. Thanks for your reply man I appreciate that.
