Just menu on side screens!!!
That´s why it's so annoying

 

Not flickering but blinking/flashing like a stroboscopic lamp!!!!

 

Jeremy Miller ‏@jeremymmiller 4h I have a fix commited for the join button issues.

 

@ gagipro

Setting anti-aliasing to at least 2x fixed that for me.

 

The flashing???

 

yes m8.

 

Ok I will try, but as the sli is not optimed at all with rf2, I think it will slows down my fps... Sorry to disturb this thread about that, I think it should go in another thread!

 

I had good scaling with 2x and 3x AMD HD 6950s in a real old build of RF2, it was when the corvette was brand new.

This was single screen though, maybe it's broken when combined with triples or maybe it works with AMD cards but broken with Nvidia? Have you tried that Nvidia compatibility bits code thingy?

 

Thanks for being on topic and for the (let's hope) good news.

 

Yes compat' bits is the only way to have good fps with nvidia sli & rf2.

 

woohoo, we're back on track! This thread I mean.

 

You can use my avatar...

 

No, no problem for me. I have rF2 on 3 monitors with nvidia surround and it looks great!

 

Best advice I can give to anyone with multi gpu setups is go back to 1 gpu !

I've had multi gpu's in the past from both AMD & nvidia, in both cases 1 gpu has always been better even at less fps,
Most of the time multi gpu just fools the user by duplicating the same frames to give the effect of more frames & usually with less fluidity than single gpu's

I don't want to sound harsh but I'm glad developers don't waste time trying to accommodate multi gpu setups

 

No problems for me as-well FYI: I use the hdmi connector with the two dvi's to run surround the only problem is I lose my 120hz refresh rate. If I was to use the displayport instead of the hdmi I would be able to have a 120hz refresh but at the cost of the the diplayport adapter causing my screen to blink which drives me crazy.

 

I agree with this! I had nothing but problems running two cards. I had three 5870's hook in tri fire which got rid of most of my scaling problems but 1 gig on three screens don't cut anymore, so I bought EVGA780 classified and have a very pleasant experience running one card and have everything turned up to full and max and a solid 60fps most of the time. One card or 3 but not 2 is the moral of this story

 

No blinking in the UI in the UI????
Compatibility bits?
How many cards?
What type of cards??

My config : 3 way sli 580 gtx 3GB

 

No blinking here. My config should be up to date on my profile. It works OK for lots of other people as well.

 

I have to respectfully disagree with this.

I'm currently running rFactor 2 with 680 SLI (690 to be precise) and the sim runs a lot smoother than it does on a single GPU, especially when rendering a lot of AI cars.

I'm only using a single screen though, and it is 120Hz so maybe I'll benefit more from the extra frames.

I do get the impression multi screen setups combined with multi-GPU is a bit of a nightmare in rFactor 2.

 

Yes multi GPU in my case SLI with 2 x GTX670 4 GB with Multiview is a lot more complex regardless I have a benefit from SLI.
I'm not sure about the following observation (dont be happy to early) but after the last nvidia driver update and rF2 update to build 494 I'm sure I've noticed a big FPS gain on my system.
All I've changed in my settings was with nvi inspector the multidisplay value to compatibility mode.
From time to time I try some values to see if somthing has changed and after reading here in the forum that some users has reported a FPS gain with this build I've tried this .
Maybe someone can try it out and confirm my observation.
