Alright, so I just got a 2nd EVGA 8800 GT for SLI. I have a AMD X2 4400+ CPU, 4GB Dual channel ram, and ASUS A8N32-SLI Motherboard. Yes, I know, it IS five years old. All I want is enough performance to last me at least 1 more full year. However, I have come to notice I am getting 2-3 second freezes and frame rate drops in L4D2.. with the 2nd video card, though, it fixed that (although it still freezes in the lobby, but I think L4D2 Just sucks)
So they are both running at:
700MHz Core
1750MHz Shader
1001MHz Memory
GPU1 = 63C (idle)
GPU2 = 66C (idle) (I need to move the USB card under it up because its kinda only giving it a small amount of air space)
About 75C full load
CPU about 135F full load
I am trying to get better performance out of Crysis. I would -like- to run high, but I may be pushing it.
So here is what I'm running in Nvidia Control Panel:
Ambient Occlusion: Off
Anistropic Filtering: App controlled
Antialiasing - Gamma Correction: On
AA Mode: App controlled
AA Setting (disabled): App controlled
Max. Prerendered frames**: 8, I changed it from 3
Multi-display/mixed GPU acceleration: Single display performance
SLI Performance mode: Nvidia recommended (wtf I changed this!)
Texture Filtering - AF Sample option: Off
Texture Filtering - Negative LOD Bias: Allow
Texture Filtering - Quality: Quality
Texture Filtering - Trilinear Optimization: on
Threaded Optimization: Auto
Triple Buffering: off
Vertical Sync: Force Off
PhysX GPU Acceleration: Enabled (what should this be on?)
SLI config: Enable SLI (duh)
I run Windows 7 Pro x64.
I installed nHancer, but I really don't know what to change with it.
And GTAIV still runs at ****ty frame rate, that game sucks anyhow. So what are some recommended configurations? I know my CPU is a bit slow, but it meets the recommended CPU for the game, so does my GPU. So it exceeds the min requirements.
What should I be running on in-game as well?
I should also note that I am running the Crysis Demo. Has there been patches since then for optimization?
I have 4GB of this ram: Corsair TWINX2048-3200C2PT 2GB (2X1GB) Kit DDR400 XMS3200 Memory Retail at ZipZoomfly
