March 21, 201214 yr now running fax with sli turn, my question would it be best to my computer with sli turn off
March 21, 201214 yr Yes, turn SLI off. Back in 2005-2006 when FSX was designed, SLI didn't exist (as far as I can remember), so the game was not designed for SLI, and cannot use it. It will actually hurt performance a tiny bit, because the extra graphics card eats up a little bit of CPU load. Arjen Vandervelde
March 21, 201214 yr 100% correct. The only reason you'd want sli in FSX is for nvidia surround so you could span the vc across 3 monitors. If you're not doing that then its best to avoid sli (for fsx). Kenneth Weir My Saitek yoke mod i7 2600k @ 4.7 8GB Gskill CAS7 2x GTX580 SLI Surround + GT520 Accessory Win7x64

It will actually hurt performance a tiny bit, because the extra graphics card eats up a little bit of CPU load.SLI existed in 2005 - it was originally a technology developed by 3dfx, the first 3D video card maker back in the late 90s/early 2000s. Nvidia bought them when they went under and implemented the technology in their cards.The reason it's not effective in FSX is because FSX is not GPU-limited. SLI is effective in games that primarily use the GPU, not the CPU like FSX does. Ryan MaziarzFor fastest support, please submit a ticket at http://support.precisionmanuals.com
