It would be helpful if you could translate those screenshots, and could you define what your problem is please.

[No_Limit]

I have no problems this is a guide to create an SLI profile with nHancer and you see the pictures properly scaled to the SLi. In addition, a performance measurement of a core i7, core utilization %

This is a help for others, not for me.

[Cameraman]

Very nice guide.

Could you try taking some benchmarks with the hex value in nhancer set to 00400005 instead of 40400015? I found 00400005 worked much better especially in naval battles.

[No_Limit]

have you tried this before?

[Cameraman]

I have not tried that one yet but will take a look at it. I'm happy with the performance I'm getting with it set to 400005 but when it was set to 40400015 naval battles were very jerky and the framerate was actually lower than with a single card.,

[No_Limit]

Ok... 400005 = 4-Wege AFR - SLI Compatibility Flags 22-30 i measure the FPS to see

[No_Limit]

27 FPS (400005) vs 47 FPS (40400015)

Battle NIL picture as above

[Totalheadache]

An nhancer section/guide should be stickied in the troubleshoot or what the heck happened/go here first.

Well done to op for creating this. REP!

[Cameraman]

Weird how I get the opposite result. I have 2 8800 GTS 640 MB though.

[irishron]

Done. Now hope it gets used.

That means we have 3 variants, which can be sampled.

I have Geforce 8800GTS in SLI and I do not notice any difference in FPS in Naval Battles when I switch between 400005, 40400015, and 42400015. The FPS in Naval Battles are pretty low for me, around 24 and lower. My settings are set medium to high. :/

[Stoferr]

The 196.75 WHQL drivers has been removed due to heating issues in some systems. I would however like to try them out anyway as i'd really like a perfamnce boost in Napolen. Anyone knows if they can be downloaded somewhere else for Win7 64-bit?

[irishron]

Not until Nvidia fixes it and rereleases it.

[johncage]

it's really pathetic you need sli to run this game well.

looks like they lied about recommended specs again.

i'm also laughing at the fact that zooming into units changes his fps from 78 to 43. wow, talk about screen tearing and frame burst lag

[karamazovmm]

that is something called LOD, I advise to help or get out trolling is not something desirable here

[johncage]

yes, and 78 to 43 fps is called lag.

have you ever transitioned from 78 to 43 fps? it's not a pleasant experience. considering he has sli and an overclocked intel i7, the performance he's getting is pretty pathetic.
