Shibuya and SLI

28ACE82 · 10-05-2009, 08:41 AM

Hello all, i have an annoying problem with just one track in GRID.
I use 2 280 GTX cards in SLI and have good framerates in all tracks but one.
My framerates are substantially higher than in single card mode in all tracks except this one.
The Shibuya circuit in Japan. It is a night race only track, and i suspect this may have
something to do with it. When i have SLI enabled, my framerate is very poor, below 50 fps almost all the time and with stutters and jerking. It seems even worse than the 50fps i am getting. Now, when i disable one gfx card and run in single card mode, all is fine.
So strange. I get very good framerates on this track with 1 280 gtx. 70-80 fps.
Much higher than the other tracks, leading me to think this track is not as demanding on a gfx card. So it seems to me that there is a bug with this track, not working with SLI.
I had the same problem with my 2 8800GTS 512's in SLI. All other tracks were fine then too.
Does anyone else have any experience with this track in SLI ?
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi there everyone.

I have exactly the same problem and also only with this track.
i7 920 OC 3.3 GHz, 295 GTX, Vista 64.
So come on you guys at Codemasters release patch 1.3 where this problem hopefully is fixed.
By the way, who wants to wait for the F1 game, not me, release date somewhere in
2010, seems like eternity.
