Hello everyone I have some Questions on testing my mew rig out with some games.

First off. I have 2 GTX 285's in SLI but when I do the Benchmark for GTA 4 It only averages in about 35 FPS in game and At the end it only show's One GTX 285. How is that.

Second How do I make sure that I have both card's running right and How do I see what Driverrs I have installed for the Video card?

Thanks guy's.

What about GTA 4? I have all the setting's on Very High or High. ANd I run the Bench and it sais that 35 is my average.

Wouldn't you think that With 2 GTX 285's it would be higher than that?

This is the driver u need to use & in the nvidia control panel it will have a setting to enable or disable your sli

THanks guy's. Im sure there will be an up-date soon. HOPE. for sli in GTA 4. But I ran the Bench with the 08 drivers and still it say 32 fps. I am running the stock clock's at 648mhz for the card. Maby overclocking it to 702 will give me better results.
