Guest vwcalbug Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 Computer: Alienware m9750 2ghz core 2 duo Dual Geforce Go 7950 GTX 512mb cards 100gb hd 1g of memory vista home Had a hard time getting SLI to turn on, i think i finally got it going by installing driver : Driver File nvd3dum.dll Driver Version 7.15.11.5605 Driver Date 5-30-2007 Driver WHQL Certified true EVERYTHING IS RUNNING WORSE!!! I was getting 120fps with no SLI in counterstrike source, now with or without SLI its around 30... I did a 3dmark06 tests and got these results SLI enabled: 7153 No SLI: 5079 So i guess i got SLI to be enabled, but its working so crappy??? This doesn't seem right for this laptop... anyhelp, please -Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guyver1 Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 Use the 94.23 drivers on the Master CD that came with your lappy. I also have an m9750 with 2x 7950 GTX. once you've installed the drivers off the master CD go into your control panel Desktop right click/properties/Settings/advanced/GeForce 7950 GTX. you will have an option to enable SLI, click this and click apply. now change general settings drop down from basic to advanced. scroll down the list and near the bottom you will see SLI render mode, change this to split frame rendering. reboot laptop, job done. just so you know as a comparison, Im running windows XP 32 bit and on HL2 Lost Coast stress test i get 123 fps with everything up full running 1920x1200 with nvidia set to Quality. same settings on 3dMark06 i get a score of 8224 hope that helps.

Guest vwcalbug Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 another picture....60 FPS!! COME ON!! that seems lame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guyver1 Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 have you got v-sync enabled? if so disable it. the monitor on the m9750 has a max refresh rate of 60 so if you have v-sync enabled this is why your games are showing 60fps. disable v-sync and your games with show 100+ fps, but you might get some visual 'tearing', but its no big deal and doesnt happen very often Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
