SH5 low fps issues

Taskeen · 06-01-10, 02:00 PM

Ok, so I posted a thread over at nHancer in hopes someone over there might know the correct settings for an SLi setup for SH5, but I haven't got a response.

I have an i7-930, 6GB DDR3, and 2xGTX260's and the fps in SH5 drops by at least 75% when I have SLi enabled. The game actually runs better for me only on one card, but I still get a little stuttering issues.

Does anyone have any recommendations for graphics settings? I want to play this game on extremely high settings, as I do in every game I own. I can only assume others have the same issue as me with SLi as it seems this game is simply not optimized for it.

I can't help you... just wanted to share my similar results. I think Sh5 cooked one of my 4870x2 as I started getting hardware failures and airtifacts, first in Sh5, then in windows. I removed one of my cards and can't help but think I am better off now just running one. I run Sh5 and the card with maximum settings with no performance issues at all (except for the mouse response, which seems to be a Sh5 issue). Things are quieter with less fans running too. I tried D3D overrider (the only Enhancer item I use), but see no gains when I try it in Sh5.

There are numerous threads dealing with the fps issues; do a search in subsim on the SH5 forums, (both the SH5 and the SH5mod) and you will find help.
If the suggestions don't solve the issues, post back with your problems.
With your rig, you should be able to run full out.

I've got far less than that, run at full, and the only stutter i get is my bow whiskers and deck waves. and then only when my card is getting hot
