How to get Dayz to run in SLI!!!!!

[Rageodontist]

As most players of Dayz might already know its a pretty demanding game on a single card. Unfortunately though Dayz does not work in SLI right now. But I found this forum post on steam outlining exactly how to get Dayz to run in SLI!

So far this works great! This works on any driver they list or the current Nvidia driver 335.23

This fix does cause minor screen tearing but in my opinion moving from 30-35 FPS up to 60-70 FPS is more important.

Damn I wish there was a fix for crossfire

The best thing you can do with DayZ is mess around with all the settings until your GPU is running at 100% load.  Putting most of the settings on low will throw the load on your CPU and not your GPU.

This is a just another reason to pay for a good GPU initially instead of relying on a future upgrade to crossfire/SLI.

I've been using that for a while now too. Works well for me and my SLI 760's.

SLI isn't for everyone, as it's not always a plug and play setup. Sometimes you need to do some tweaking to get the performance, and DayZ is a good example of that.

I kinda like SLI more than just a very powerful GPU sometimes because you can dump different tasks on different GPU's.

You will never utilise your GPU much in Dayz or ARMA because of the engine its built on. Your better off tweaking your CFG file and launch configs for your CPU to make better usage.
Its a poorly optimised engine and almost all power comes from your CPU.

are there tutorials on what files to tweak? I would like to look into this.

Literally google cfg / fps / steam launch parameters for DayZ Mod or DayZ Standalone. Hundreds of them, tweak to your setup not theirs though.

Same here with my 2 660tis
