May 29, 20179 yr Commercial Member Does anyone know if the new v4 will finally make full use of SLI? Paul Grubich 2017 - Professional texture artist painting virtual aircraft I love. Be sure to check out my aged cockpits for the A2A B-377, B-17 and Connie at Flightsim.com and Avsim library
May 29, 20179 yr Nope. As far as I've heard, it won't... Best regards,--Anders Bermann-- ____________________Scandinavian VAPilot-ID: SAS2471
May 29, 20179 yr Hmm, I thought there had been some tests by a certain individual whose name now appears as "Word Not Allowed" when typed into this forum, even back in the 1.x days showing there were gains under specific conditions (i.e. views outside the cockpit, scenes with high levels of AA especially with multiple cloud layers).
May 29, 20179 yr Moderator I believe it has a lot to do with individual setups. There are people who claim no benefit, and I have no reason to doubt them but I've been running SLI for quite a while and I *DO* see a benefit. I notice it most when I am in a demanding situation, high density area with TStorms and very dark clouds, etc. Flying in fair weather - very little noticeable difference. Considering that the majority of my flights are in severe weather, I'm a happy camper. I also believe that some people are expecting a FPS increase through SLI - not going to happen. In my case I didn't get an increase BUT it took longer for performance to degrade when I overloaded my system. Vic RIG#1 - I9 14900K MSI Pro z790 RTX 5070Ti 40" 4K Monitor 3840x2160

Vic Agree, tested p3d-v3.5 and 3.4 with both 980 sli and 1080 sli , I have a single 1080ti strix oc bought it for xplane and p3d xplane not support sli. Think a get better performance in p3d with 1080SLI then single 1080TI P3D-v4 ? http://
May 30, 20179 yr With my config I see a real benefit when I fly with medium scenery. With light scenery all is perfect and SLI do not anithing better. With heavy scenery SLI is waiting the data from CPU, and work e few. But with medium scenery, all the data send by CPU are treated by the SLI and here, I can see a real benefit with or wihtout SLI. To be effective SLI needs a CPU able to give enough to it... i9 14900KF 64 Gb DDR5 @ 6 Ghz CAS 32 Asus Apex Z790 W11 64 bits pro sur Kingston FURY Renegade 2 To, MSFS 2024 sur 2 ème Kingston FURY Renegade 2 To, RTX 5090 Alim Asus Thor 1600 W Gold Ecran Samsung G9 57 pouces 8K WC AIO ARTIC liquid freezer II 420 Boitier Gigabyte 3d mars https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEFAk464aSg22aGFZ2LxeFg/videos
May 30, 20179 yr Too bad SLI doesn't use the VRAM of both cards :-( System: i9 [email protected] - 32 GB RAM - Aorus 1080ti --- Sim/Addons: P3D v5 + ProSim737
May 30, 20179 yr Ya which sucks as i have 2 x titan sc 6gb in sli Gonna have to sell i guess and get a 1080ti Will this bottleneck my iu 4790k?Thanks Mike
September 16, 20187 yr I would think so because you may want to go SLI ant then what . I think SLI is working now that I have installed NVidia Inspector which I strongly suggest in order to tweeek SLI . An I7*8700k is the best you can get 1151 socket , but you well have to purchase a new MB.Z370 .YEAH your talking some major changes.
September 16, 20187 yr whit 2x GTX 1080 TI in default p3d v4.3 I must admit I got 189 FPS not bad to start out the hanger whit ,I had to install NVidia inspector . And I must admit I am impressed.
September 16, 20187 yr SLI works fine with V4. With detailed scenery , or many clouds or rain I see a gain up to 60% ( triple monitor setup as 2 views ) compared to ine card ( both 1080 Ti OC ). No NVI installed.

September 16, 20187 yr SLI is good but replacing my old 970s SLI for 1080TI was a good move. Dynamic lights and reflections now possible in 4k. Also higher ASP4 and Rex skyforce 3D settings. I have [email protected] and it goes. I have only hit 100% once with the GPU with ASP4 set to max overcast and 250nm draw. Night flying has become a blast. Thanks Michael Moe Michael Moe
September 16, 20187 yr Question for the computer guy, after reading this thread it got me thinking about SLI for VR. I run a single titan XP with good results using VR. However when the clouds turn into thunderstorms I do notice a drop in FPS spoiling the experience. Another XP is hard to come by but maybe 2 X 1080ti might help here? thoughts? IM
September 17, 20187 yr I always got the impression that SLI pays off when there are more pixels. If you have triple screen 4K, most tests show that’s where SLI really makes a difference. I saw an article about 8k with 1080ti SLI and it made a very noticeable difference. So in P3Dv4 if you are pushing some extra pixels I bet you see a solid improvement. For texture loading and autogen I bet it doesn’t do much.
