Nvidia' GTX 275

Hi all>
Upgraded GPU in the past few weeks to the Nvidia GTX 275 and have many in-world issues with regards to compatibility/performance> i have found that the old Sl viewer works better for me .

May I ask what card you had before?

I have an 8800 and was thinking of (at some time) upgrading to a 275 as they are supposed to be a LOT faster.

But I have read issues in the past with the latest cards and SL.

Just wondering how you feel your new card performs against what you had before?

Heh I upgraded from an 8800GTX to an 285 GTX.

Other games the framerate went up by 2-2.5 times.

SL the frame rate went up, barely at all. A little. It seems like the new driver multithreads opengl a little better, I can max out 2 cores with SL now more or less constantly now.

SL is WAY too processor bound. BUT I was able to max out the quality and AA setings without a significant drop so that is nicer, but not worth the upgrade for that alone (Or SL alone).

Overclocking the CPU by 10% still gives a 10% increase in frame rate. I think my processor would have to be a tleast twice as fast as it is now to max out the 285's ability to draw frames.

I went from an SLI pair of 8600GT cards to a CO-OP GTX295 and the performance is simply stellar! (^_^)

I have found that SL is very CPU intensive, which leads to some funny performance quirks that totally depend on the situation. But I've seen my FPS skyrocket in the right situation. I've been able to boost RenderTreeLOD and RenderVolumeLOD even more for higher detail. On top of that, running multiple clients can be done seamlessly without dropping any graphics settings at all. This counts for up to 4 clients on the screen at once, so far... Just to see if I could do it. (^_^)

Mind you... I'm still using Boy Lane's Cool Viewer 1.22.11. (^_^)y
