evilharb Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Now whilst I can understand that this game probably doesn't use or need an SLI setup, I am stil curious about whether or not getting a second graphics card would have any noticeable effect, like being able to run the game in the highest resolution and with all effects up to maximum. Is there anyone here that is running this game on an SLI setup (maybe Crossfire users can report on this too) that can let me know if there are any differences in using a dual card setup as opposed to a solo one?

evilharb Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 Anyone running their systems in SLI mode that can share some info, at all?! Anyone?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilharb Posted December 12, 2012 Author Share Posted December 12, 2012 Ok...time to try this one again... Is anyone running SWTOR in sli mode? If so are there any issues running the game in a dual card setup? Would appreciate knowing before I install my second card and try running the game! Thanks for any replies.

bravotwentysev Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Not really as crossfire is broken here for swtor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilharb Posted December 12, 2012 Author Share Posted December 12, 2012 Ok...guess it's the same thing for sli mode too, although I'm keeping an eye on the post linked below for any updates. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=68162&highlight=nvidia&page=4 Guess it's down to SWTOR not running/supporting an sli mode. I can always just set it to use one card anyway when SWTOR is running Thanks for the answer though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there anyone here that is running this game on an SLI setup (maybe Crossfire users can report on this too) that can let me know if there are any differences in using a dual card setup as opposed to a solo one? I think that the main question that needs to be asked is what type of card(s) do you have? If they're lower end graphics cards and you plan to run with all settings maxed, then you *may* see some small improvements with a SLI setup. I'm currently rebuilding my system, but even with most settings maxed, a single old HD5870 pushes 70+ fps in town running at 5760x1080 resolution.

itsmymillertime Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 what kind of fps do you get now? what kind of processor do you have now? what kind of video card do you have now? How much RAM do you have now? 1 good video card is better as you dont suffer from stuttering and heat issues between the 2 cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Washingtoon Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 (edited) The bottleneck in swtor is the netcode. I will run it at max rate on a BenQ 120 Hz monitor with my gtx680'es in SLI as long as it's just me and a few others on the screen. Enter a crowded area, such as infront of one of the mission boxes, and you'll quickly drop 80 fps. It should be noted that I'm playing on a trans-atlantic connection (but on a 100/100 wire) so that might have some impact on my performance.
