Just wanted to chime in here after lurking. First thanks to all of you with your help, tips, and information, it really helped out. So after months of trial and error and 2 RMA’s, I am glad to say I have finally got BFV playing on 2 x 2080 Ti in SLI with DRT on the PG348Q STrix 3440 x 1440 in ULTRA settings and everything. I use the medium DRT setting for BFV because the ULTRA drops fps down to 50FPS in DRT intensive maps, (Rotterdam, etc…). It took alot of effort and money to get here, but there we are… ---

So after more testing I did determine that I was not actually getting DX12 SLI with DRX. Verified this with Rivatuner and confirmed it by trying out BF1 also. BF1 does not use SLI in DX12, but does work in DX11. I got such a performance boost when I enabled Dynamic Local Mode on the CPU that I attributed it to the SLI configuration. So hardware is there, just have to wait for more Software development to actually utilise it more efficiently. How long will we be waiting? ---

DICE has already stated that DX12 mGPU is not happening. So you can have either Single GPU DXR w/DX12 or SLI w/DX11. ---

Well then it looks like the BF train may end with this release. No SLI support then why the NVLink? Just for miners? ---

No SLI with DXR is only a DICE issue, other studios may have both together. > [@jasonvp](#): > > > [@DukeSan27](#): > > > > DICE has already stated that DX12 mGPU is not happening. > > When did they say that?

Seems a silly absolute stance to take; I’ll bet they reconsider that one after a while. ---

Hello,so with the last driver 416.94 it’s wroking the sli ? Anyone knows how to get the video cards to work at 80-90% ? My video cards are working at 50-60% . ---

Thats maybe because your cpu is limiting .. so you need a faster one or try overclocking first.. ---

Hello,thanks for your answer but my cpu it’s not limited it’s using only 25% i have a i9 cpu i don’;t have a problem with my video cards or my cpu the problem it;s the game or the drivers . This is why i was asking maybe someone knows how to make some settings in nvidia inspector or the game so i can get better usage from the video cards thanks . ---

I know of many who didn’t even get BF1 because of how the server administration got nerfed, (even worse than when DICE killed Map Modding). ---

Dear lord, the amount of people who bought sli, who really shouldn’t have… If a driver doesn’t support sli out of the box, then you can just add a working profile yourself with nvidiainspector… and yes, this works fine with the 417.01 driver aswell… [Previous page](https://battlefieldforum.co/t/sli-mgpu-are-dead/107640.md?page=4) [Next page](https://battlefieldforum.co/t/sli-mgpu-are-dead/107640.md?page=6)
