Hi guys,

I started a new thread for this as no one seemed to be replying to my original post except for one person :)

I was looking though the files included with the nVidia driver and came across one called nvapps.xml.

I looked in this file and it contained definitions for a number of games, including something called 'multichip_rendering_mode'. I'm guessing that this is what rendering mode SLI uses for a particular exe.

I went though the file and organised the games under the rendering mode that they use. The unique values for this multi rendering mode are: 1, 2, 4, 2400401, 2C10401, 2431001, 3C00401, 400001, 4C00002, c00001, 00400001 and 00020201.

All of the review of SLI I have read state there are three modes of SLI:

Alternate Frame Rendering
Split Frame Rendering
Disabled

What I was wondering is if anyone knows why there are so many values for the multi rendering mode, when there are only logically three modes of SLI?

I have coded a basic editor to allow people to add new profiles and modify existing profiles, but I just need to clear up the SLI mode before I release it - presuming that my assumptions are correct and this does relate to SLI :)

why do some of the profiles have "conformant_texture_clamp", "multichip_rendering_mode" or ogl_extension with a value of 1 or 2. To me the value means the SLI mode, but why would the "property labels be different?

Anyone have a successful WoW profile that is confirmed working, I have tried a few that seem to load balance until I get logged to my toon then the load balancing seems to stop.
 
since my last post I have installed the beta driver. But I was running 66.93, I notice that the same holds true for 67.66.

Here is a snipet (sorry not sure how to make it easier to read):

WoW seems to be working with 67.66 under this profile:

<PROFILE Label="World of WarCraft">
<APPLICATION Label="WoW.exe"/>
<PROPERTY Label="multichip_rendering_mode" Value="2" Itemtype="predefined"/>
</PROFILE>


I was getting 40-45 FPS in OG now I am getting 65-70 FPS
 
Anybody seen any info on the other variables? Somebody posted the following profile for Aces High II on their boards. As you can see, it's got some additional variables. I haven't seen any documentation on setting these variables, nor do any of the other profiles contain these variables.

<PROFILE Label="AH">
<APPLICATION Label="aceshigh.exe"/>
<PROPERTY Label="multichip_rendering_mode" Value="1"/>
<PROPERTY Label="aa_default" Value="10000000"/>

Sardaan. did you see if it was load balancing? I've done the same thing as you but don't get any load balancing or FPS increase.
