Pleeeeease,


is there anybody outside there,
who has two of this 8800 gts 512 MB from BFG running via SLI
with secondlife ????
I use Vista 64 with servicepack 1, newest drivers...
but I can only run the old viewer 19.0 (4),
no windnlight , no release candidate, also the newest version from today
always crashes when I try to log in...

Best Regards,
Tani

Sounds like you're way out on the bleeding edge. :)

I just bought the same card, but I only run one, under Windows XP, and it works great.

I would suggest: Go back to XP... or Linux but Linux SL Viewer is alpha.

Not sure what driver you are using but try the beta 169.44 and NOT 169.21. Worked like a dream for me, frame rate well over 70fps.

This is a guess but from reading about poor usage of garbage collection and how it likes to wait and dump huge ammounts of memory at once I decided to try limiting how much memory SL could use on my graphics card.. since lowering this number from 1gb (7950 gx2) down to the 600-700 range I haven't had an out of memory error since. Might be a coincidence but there it is for what it is worth.

Zoe Hansup, you my hero....
Took me some time to find this 169.44 beta driver cause its not listed
on the german side...but finally I got it, and it runs like hell now...
70-80 fps...never below 40 even in combat ...I love it...

Thanks a lot...
