I have Nvidia 480 in SLi and get terrible frames . approx 30-50 :(

Can you explain what profiles are ?

Cheers

How do your 5870 scale ? I heard from others that it wasnt working and had to revert to single screen ?

I have 2x 480's and only getting 50fps max on low settings . I been thinking of the 580's 3gb versions to replace .

What do you guys think ? Is it worth it or should I wait for next gen GPU's ?

Can someone clear this up for me .

My Mboard when connecting my 3x 480's has 1- PCI-E at x16 and the other two at x8 . So does that mean Im not getting any scalling out of the third card compared to running 2x 480's in the first two slots running x16 ?

I have never seen and better ...

As per the title . Was wondering how well 2x 590's in SLi go with Surround ?

This guy in the video would have to be using something powerful to run that smooth and record .

EVGA has 580's in 3gb . Ill be upgrading to these for BF3 release :)

I have had no CTD's with the new patch on BC2 . But I only just updated the drivers last night to play BF3 beta and I have noticed a significant drop in FPS almost half . But I thought it was due to the game .

I'm not 100% certain so if someone can confirm for me-you 12V Amps are 20V 40V 20V 40V. Could this be causing the fluctuations?

The Thermaltake Toughpower 1500 is on Nvidia website as a recommended PSU for Tri SLi :)

You cannot run a 570 & a 240 in sli !

I think MW2 and myself read your post as 2 different brands of the one card . I also have 2 different brands of 480's and they work fine . But to re-inforce what Sir Biscuit is saying , SLi needs 2 of the same card .

Just to answer a few questions ,

I have my i7 950 clocked to 4ghz .

I have tred the EVGA SLi patch and it doesnt do anything as far as the third card is concerned .

I have a Thermatake Tough Power 1500W PSU Brand new so I dont think thats my problem .

I will have to try the ...

Hi Guys ,

I am a Nvidia surround guy and would like some input on anyone that has gone from Nvidia surround setup to ATi 6990 for eyefinity . Especially in particular for BFBC2 .

Has the single dual GPU card solved any of the issues that comes with crossfire for Eyefinity ?

Cheers ...

I have had nothing but problems with my surround setup trying to run BFBC2 . In the light of BF3 coming out I dont want to be plagued with this setup for the new game .

My specs : i7 950 o/c 3.8ghz , Asus P6X58D Premium , 3x GTX 480 GPU's , 12gig 1600mhz Ram , Kingston 128gb SSD , 3x LG 27 ...

Thanks for your replies everyone . I did end up getting the third card and it didnt make any difference . I might sell all three cards and get 2x 580's . I was hoping BF3 would have better support for Sli but I dont want to take the chance .

@ tet5uo , what drivers are you running for your 480 ...

Sorry guys , I guess I was hoping for the best :doh . Took me 3 days till I CTD :?

One thing that has helped was to delete 3rd party OC'ing software that came with the motherboard .

It was alot worse before .

New Nvidia drivers are available . I have installed and so far so good . Fingers crossed :)

Hi everyone , I'm new here and look forward to the WSGF community .

I have dual sli 480's and play BFBC2 in surround . Im purchasing a 3rd card to tri sli and have 1 monitor for 1 GPU . Have things changed with this game as far as tri sli issues ?

Any advice is greatly appreciated :D
