People who have cards in SLI should see a performance improvement! Good news. Hopefully, everyone with these cards will see an improvement.

To Planetside 2?

[Hmr85]

Excellent, gonna go DL it.

[JawsOfLife]

Interesting, on the download page under "Nvidia SLI technology" it has Planetside 2 listed as "updated."

Does PS2 have SLI support now, or are they still working on it?

[Hamma]

Good stuff :D

It has had SLI support all along it just didn't work well.

As an owner of a gtx 690, I would like to point out that SLI doesn't do shit on planetside. (Well with the latest beta driver, haven't tried the new ones yet, hope it actually gets better even though they already had added the SLI profile for planetside 2 in the beta drivers....)

:lol: Try to pun in a Voodoo2 card and test... If you can find any drivers to it that is. Think only Win 95, maybe even win 98, drivers exist to that card though. :lol:

Anyone have any results? Just curious:).

Anyone have any results? Just curious:).

Played without the new driver with a GTX 570, at high settings with everything turned up all the way except "render quality" which was at 85%, I was getting a consistent 65 fps at the warp gate, 45 in some pretty heavy action and lows of about 37. Logged off installed 306.23, got back in and was getting exactly the same performance. So no increase in fps from what I can tell. But what I did notice that was different is when shooting at trees and rocks with PhysX enabled (at least I believe that what it was, would have to see without it on) there are splinters and chips of rock that go flying off. That was probably not all, but those was the things I noticed in the little time I played. Going to have to test it out more.

Well SLI is running better, the FPS was horrible before this beta patch/new driver with SLI enabled.
