video card(s) effort with 3Dvision on/off SLI's "responsibility" ?
Hi, I was doubtful whether to ask here or in SLI forum, because I've [i]noticed[/i] it just after I started taking advantage of a SLI setup, and using a benchmark tool
:
when I play in 3Dvision mode, in games more gfx intensive (Metro, the Hunter), I read quite lower temperatures and according lower GPU fan percentage usage, than when 3Dvision is switched off (10C degrees more and GPU fans pct above 60%);
nevertheless, it's not only a reading feature: out of 3DV, I hear a remarkable noise increase from the (GPUs) fans;
at the same time, out of 3DV, there is a neat increase of fps
so it looks like that the card(s) are less "strained" in 3DV than with 3DV off ...why?
or is it a SLI feature/issue? (and I'm in the wrong place) /wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' />
