SXPS 13 + Win 7 + 9500M SLI?

Hello,

I posted here a few months ago about a SLI problem in Vista that was resolved. I have recently installed Windows 7 and have been having more SLI problems. I've installed many different Nvidia drivers from laptopvideo2go, from Dell, and from the Nvidia website.

My problem is that I have a huge performance increase under Power Save rather than Performance Mode. What I believe is causing this is that when I am running in Performance Mode, it only runs off the 9200 which is slower than the 9400. It doesn't actually use both cards together. I've noticed significant FPS drop and rendering issues while in Performance Mode while playing Call of Duty 5 and more recently, Dragon Age. However, when I go into Power Save, I get a significant boost in FPS and virtually no rendering issues.

Has anyone else had problems with SLI using the 9500M (9200+9400) in Windows 7 on 64bit? Any suggestions?

Thanks!

 

I overall have problems with windows 7 vidoe playback using 9400m.. The videos that I backed up before doing a clean instal of win7 from vista are grainy now and more blurry, very noticable! I tried both drivers from del.com and from nvidia same results, only with dell drivers a get a better wei score...

I think personally Bill Gates failed again windows 7 was promising to be so great, Yes its more eye catching but whats the point of upgrading if you going to get bad video playback... I googled this problem and a lot of people (not all, but a good number) have these issues both with ati and nvidia cards, even gaming cards and all of them updated to latest drivers, so most likely its not drivers but Windows7 that has early defects.

 

i will recommend you to use the nHancer. Download it, create a profile or find a profile in the the nHancer, then click SLI and set the hyrid sli from 0 to 1. NHancer helps a lot but it works with most of the games, not all.
