DIYguy Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Has any one used or know if running dual SLI video cards improves 3d rendering? My system and video card are SLI ready and all I have to do is plug in a 2nd identical card. Since we're talking CAD rendering and not video games do the dual cards improve rendering performance?

Ray Libby Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 OpenGL is the only rendering mode that uses the video card, all others use the processor. Sorry but I have no experienced with dual video cards, it would be interesting to hear what kind of performance you get with them. Quote Link to comment
DIYguy Posted December 1, 2007 Author Share Posted December 1, 2007 Ray...Looks like we're running similar systems except I'm at 64 X2 4200. My copy of Vista went back in the box, I reformated my hard-drive and reinstalled XP. I've been reading different opinions regarding VW utilization of dual core and rendering. Heard VW doesn't utilize dual core and also heard some rendering modes do. Any definative info in this area? Quote Link to comment
