v3.4.18 SLI major issue

[Adam Breed]

All,

Thanks for the feedback. We have been working with NVIDIA on SLI issues and believe it is a combination of an Prepar3D application side and NVIDIA driver side. We will provide more updates as soon as possible.

Regards,
Adam

Hello all,

Thank you all for you reports and for being patient with us as we work resolve these issues. I have been personally working with NVIDIA on this, and am happy to report that great progress is being made. We've found and fixed the performance and UI flicking introduced in HF2. Thanks to Nvidia's help, we believe that we can also resolve the visual effects flicking issue in our application code. We understand that specific driver versions may conflict with other applications, so we plan to fix this in-app, if possible, to give our users more flexibility.

EDIT: We also resolved a related SLI issue in HF2 where p3d might hang at 100% during loading. All these issues are specific to alternate frame rendering (AFR). Overriding application settings to use another SLI mode such as SLI AA is one way users have been able to work around these issues without completely disabling SLI. More details on that can be found in another thread. http://www.prepar3d.com/forum/viewtopic ... 2&t=122959

Thanks

Not only do we appreciate the fact that LM listens to our issues, probably the most important fact is that you communicate when there is something to be said.

Thanx!

Do we have a date or timeframe for this "patch" or the next Nvidia update?

I am wondering too

[stevefocus]

Yes it would be nice to have a timeframe for a fix.

[vgbaron]

considering that LM has never announced a specific timeframe for any release or fix, I wouldn't hold your breath.

We'll see it when it's ready.

Yes confirmed for me too. Very disappointed with the delay this is taking.

Fix soon please LM.

Beau mentioned that 2 things needed to be fixed. One by Nvidia and the other by LM. The driver release notes do not mention Prepar3d at all. So I suspect that they are still fixing/testing the solution. However, this is pure speculation on my part.

Guys,

The issue as stated by Beau is on both sides so even if Nvidia fixed what they needed too it is still upto LM to introduce the fix which will solve the whole problem. The issue is most likely still being seen because we don't have the fix from LM side which hopefully will complete the cycle.

Blessings

Also, does anyone know if this impacts when you are using 2 GPUs not in SLI mode and using view groups?

[vgbaron]

It only affects SLI usage.
