    Hi there,

    To start I ask ISI when will you think of people using 3 monitors and SLI? I get HORRIBLE performance :(

    Next what exactly is MultiView?
    Should I use my normal resolution? and turn on Multiview?

    What you guys do?

    I cannot turn on almost any eye candy or I get 30 fps. But.. in iRacing I get everything maxed out and beautiful 100 fps fast smooth..

    Any suggestions on settings? drivers? Nvidia Settings in windows?

    Thank you

    Yes turn on Multiview and turn off SLI. You'll just have to be patient and wait until ISI get it sorted.

    Heh not at all, I run triples with full eye candy on a single 670 2GB okay frame rates are not sky high but no stuttering and smooth. Lows of 27 highs can be up to 70, but I pay no heed to frame rates and concern myself with can I race with no problems and with 20 cars (the most I have tried) from start to finish no problems (outside of my lack of skill LOL)

    I haven't tried a recent build because I have a 670 now but the game (for example Spa with the Sparks) was playable a few months ago with my old 275s in SLI with moderate graphic details. You should be OK with the 570s unless some incompatibility exists for you that wasn't there for my cards.

    Unfortunately, I can't tell you why it's not working well for you.

    You will want Multiview off as it's a good thing (removes the side monitor distortion by rendering each separately) but your framerates will take a hit.

    What resolution you guys use? I have 1920x1080 in each one, but I use the resolution I made to hide pixels behind the bevels (6040x something)

    In short yes, what are your system specs? and have you tried other sync settings including sync off?

    everything on low and trileaner and everything else on... getting smooth results. would like to run higher but not smooth, but good enough for now until they get the graphics sorted.

    FYI: I finally got rid of the stuttering when I installed win8, but i'm using ATI Crossfire on a single projector, but maybe it helps for SLI too...

    Same provem here Duarte, Runing 2500k at 4.5, 8 gigas mem., HD 6990 / 6000x1080.

    Set everything In max, around 80 FPS In Mills, everything is smouth when i'm alone, with 15 cars on track stutters will happen!!!

    I supose multi gpu is not supported/optimized yet, i think.

    With same hardware In iracing i get 150 FPS without stutters at all!!!
    I remenber In 1 build, Back In 2008, i had similar issues with 2 9800 GT In SLI.

    So we need To wait until something is done mate!!
