Attention
Unfortunately after installing a new Nvidia Driver, you have to set your SLI Profile again!
Even with the "Express Installation"... :(
(But only the SLI Profile Settings, the tweaked Settings stay the same.)

--> You can prevent that by Exporting all customized profiles (with Nvidia Inspector) and import them back after the Nvidia Driver Installation!
Too many Frames, try this
If you have "too many" fps (90+fps) and want to improve your visual gaming experience, try this:

Update (no Fix needed anymore)
The latest Nvidia Drivers should now include the SLI Profile for SW...

This is a SLI Fix not a Crossfire Fix...sry!

I lied, it goes down to around 30fps in the really nasty battles!

I upped several of the graphics settings on my crossfire x2, the 6970's were hovering around 75%, and the frame rate at a solid 60 @1920 x 1080! At least that is what the vision control center told me:)!!! How can I get the in game gpu usage display?
Rippy 18 Dec, 2013 @ 10:29pm 
Let em host your guides, it should cost them money! Or at least those who advertise with them!

I hope this will work on my Raedon 6790s!

Oh, and for the record, I'm running dual GTX 675M graphics cards.

Just wanted to say "thank you". This guide rocks! It was driving me nuts that with two, rather new, graphics cards, I was still getting lag. Now I know why.

The change in performance is, to say the least, notable! Thank you :)
