Well, for me it doubled the frames, literally.

BUT you CAN'T use the V-sync because that cuts the fps in HALF.



IF I don't use the #25 (AFR2) compatibility flag, then there is no fps increase with SLI either, so it is important to make sure that it is checked. Only Nhancer will give you access to those flags.




S!

Big leap in frames my friend. I also turned off Anti-Aliasing and Vertical Sync (rather than leaving them app controlled) and saw another increase.

Really like the NHancer program, I see lots of reading to do! I also fetched the Riva Tuner program, lots of good stuff there.

Thanks again!!

I don't know about Crossfire usage...

But this is what I did with SLI: After you download Probex's file, download the NHancer program (or visa versa). Once NHancer is installed, you can open Probex's file by using NHancer to open. Add it as your SH4 profile or have it overwrite your existing SH4 profile. I had already created a SH4 profile in my NVidia Control Panel so I had NHancer overwrite it.

Big increase in frames for me!

Yup. Major increase IF I turn off synchronisation (with synchronization on, there was a net loss of frames in comparison to running a single GPU), but there doesn't seem to be the horrible stuttering issue I had before when I tried to play with synchronization off. (perhaps because frames are now high enough to compensate for the synchronization problem?)

Only other factor might be I noticed multi-core support was enabled in the profile provided above.

How do I load the "flag file" into Nhancer? When I try import, it does not list the file in the directory. If I use "add", it just says "new application".

From a previous post:

"...After you download Probex's file, download the NHancer program (or visa versa). Once NHancer is installed, you can open Probex's file by using NHancer to open. Add it as your SH4 profile or have it overwrite your existing SH4 profile. I had already created a SH4 profile in my NVidia Control Panel so I had NHancer overwrite it."

Right click on Probex's file and "Open with" NHancer, it's pretty explanatory from there.
