WOW And SLI Questions

Does wow run better for you guys with your SLI on or off. Mine runs alot better it seems with 1 card. I have 4gigs of ram, 2 9800 GT's, and a 2.1 duo 2 processor.

 

Not sure about SLI but on crossfire i see 60%+ fps boost.

Just remember that WoW doesnt really support SLI or Crossfire. Of course that doesnt mean it doesnt benefit from it

 

Yeah I get more FPS with 1 card but with SLI my game doesnt bog down at all when im on my epic flyer. Seems like the graphics are better also with the 1 card it seems like I have tearing with the SLI on and my fps doesnt past 60 because I have my v-sync on. If I select let the application decide for nvidia settings then wow will crash when I try to open it also.

 

When I got my laptop it only came with 1 9800GT so I ordered another from alienware and installed it myself and have had problems since. Is there a driver update for the motherboards in our laptops. I think I maybe need to update my motherboard driver so it supports sli or something. Alienware has sent me a new card and still the same problems so I know my cards are good.

 

Did you try other drivers from http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/ to see if that helps a bit ?

 

Yeah im using 185.20 I think for my cards. Is there a nforce chip on our motherboards that has driver that you can update. When I went to nvidia.com the first time and did analyze system it told me that I needed to update the driver on my motherboard. I think maybe alienware only give me the right stuff for a single 9800 GT config. I did notice some discoloring on the slave card where the sli cable connects. It doesnt look burnt but its definently discolored, is this normal?

 

I think ima try dragging the modded INF file into the folder I forgot to do that maybe that is my problem. Ill give an update after I get home and have a chance to mess around with it.

 

WoW hates SLI
you will have better stability and fps with it off

 

Yeah Wow isnt too friendly with SLi.. Your better off without it.
