I know this would be limited by the refresh rate of the glasses at 60fps per eye but surely it is a much more efficient way of using multiple cards for s3d? In effect whatever frames can be achieved 2d with one card can be achieved by 3d with 2? see what i mean buddy?[/quote]
I get what you are saying. However 2 cards do not give you double performance in even 2d performance much less in 3d. I can't remember how well 2 video cards scale in SLI, it may depend on the driver and the cards.
My scenario is, even if both cards receives all the data it needs from the CPU at the same time and they both finish all their calculations at the same time and are able to completely render both of their images at the same time, transferring the data from card B to the primary card/output will take some time, the sync algorithm which is most likely working on the primary card will also take some time. If physx is involved only one of the cards may be doing the physx calcs.
I wish that 2 cards gave me double the performance however it right now doesn't.
When you add SLI while you have more power you add more into the equation with cuts away at the existing overhead. even starting at 2x performance you have to subtract for the additional expenses you generate.

I'm not too fussed about selling the card, I know I'll get my money back for it. I'm just really looking forward to 3d surround gaming, and nvidia is absolutely kidding themselves if they think 2 480's can power 3 monitors with eye candy. For the best possible experience u will need 3x 480's for 3d surround.
All I request is Andrew atleast gives us some information on whether 3-way SLI will be supported in the near future. Don't get me wrong 3-way SLI does work, and works well, in some dx 10 titles, but unfortunately there is some sort of driver issue with dx9 titles. Can I also add that 3-way SLI and quad sli was working fine with cd 1.17, so I don't know where nvidia went wrong.

Yes, let's spam the poor man rather than use the appropriate place to leave feedback about NVIDIA's drivers.

I see your point. Its just that this particular issue has been haunting tri and quad sli users for over 6 months now. As a community on this forum we have voiced this issue time and time again. The fact of the matter is a fix is well over due, now i know a fix wont be coming over night. But maybe just some assurance that something is being done and maybe it wouldnt hurt to update us on the progress from time to time. There are so many users that have spent so much money on there 3d setup to get the best possible performance, only to be dissapointed by the lack of support via nvidia drivers.
Personally i went out and purchased 3x480's in order to get the best possible performance for 3d vision surround. As it stands, im getting an avg of 20fps in DX9 titles; I hope now you can see why im so frustrated.

I wish there was an video card builder that was consumer oriented. You know, using a community to stretch out to users instead of scaring them off.
Look at IZ3D. They have forums with support personel who answer the questions and pass them through to the dev team. They also give progress updates and change things after the users requests them.
Unlike Nvidia. Some examples:
* No 3-way SLI, no information about status what so ever.
* OpenGL? This was promised a few times, but a year later we haven't seen anything.
* Customizable depth settings, have you tried the Acer H5360? The depth is a joke...
* Game support, Bioshock 2 anyone? It was supposed to be supported?
* 3D vision surround, supposed to be out at fermi release?
* Let's not forget about the forum initiative where we could ask questions to andrew. What ever happend to that? Except that it didn't take off. To bad the mod's cannot organise these things properly.
All these subjects are asked about frequently, both on the forums and in the support section of Nvidia. But we haven't received any of those features... Or proper status updates about this except "we are working on it".
It really pisses me off. Nvidia customer support could be so much better. To bad they just don't understand what makes customers come back even if the GPU is a bit slower then the offerings of competitors from almost a year ago. Zing.

Hi Manual, only when 3d vision is enabled. Also it's only when running in 3-way SLI. With dx9 titles I'm getting avg 20fps even when in game menus. It's definately a bug with the drivers. Dx 10 titles seem to work ok however there is no performance increase going from 2x 480's to 3x 480's- I have benchmarked with both and it spat out the exact same result. I monitored the gpu usage also; with regular sli gpu usage was hovering around 80%, with 3-way SLI it's hovers around 48% on all 3 gpus. Now without 3d enabled tri Ali scaling seems to be pretty good.
Manual Im very keen to get this bug ironed out so if you need me to test anything please don't hesitate to ask.

I get what you are saying. However 2 cards do not give you double performance in even 2d performance much less in 3d. I can't remember how well 2 video cards scale in SLI, it may depend on the driver and the cards.
My scenario is, even if both cards receives all the data it needs from the CPU at the same time and they both finish all their calculations at the same time and are able to completely render both of their images at the same time, transferring the data from card B to the primary card/output will take some time, the sync algorithm which is most likely working on the primary card will also take some time. If physx is involved only one of the cards may be doing the physx calcs.
I wish that 2 cards gave me double the performance however it right now doesn't.
When you add SLI while you have more power you add more into the equation with cuts away at the existing overhead. even starting at 2x performance you have to subtract for the additional expenses you generate.

All I request is Andrew atleast gives us some information on whether 3-way SLI will be supported in the near future. Don't get me wrong 3-way SLI does work, and works well, in some dx 10 titles, but unfortunately there is some sort of driver issue with dx9 titles. Can I also add that 3-way SLI and quad sli was working fine with cd 1.17, so I don't know where nvidia went wrong.

I see your point. Its just that this particular issue has been haunting tri and quad sli users for over 6 months now. As a community on this forum we have voiced this issue time and time again. The fact of the matter is a fix is well over due, now i know a fix wont be coming over night. But maybe just some assurance that something is being done and maybe it wouldnt hurt to update us on the progress from time to time. There are so many users that have spent so much money on there 3d setup to get the best possible performance, only to be dissapointed by the lack of support via nvidia drivers.
Personally i went out and purchased 3x480's in order to get the best possible performance for 3d vision surround. As it stands, im getting an avg of 20fps in DX9 titles; I hope now you can see why im so frustrated.

Look at IZ3D. They have forums with support personel who answer the questions and pass them through to the dev team. They also give progress updates and change things after the users requests them.
Unlike Nvidia. Some examples:
* No 3-way SLI, no information about status what so ever.
* OpenGL? This was promised a few times, but a year later we haven't seen anything.
* Customizable depth settings, have you tried the Acer H5360? The depth is a joke...
* Game support, Bioshock 2 anyone? It was supposed to be supported?
* 3D vision surround, supposed to be out at fermi release?
* Let's not forget about the forum initiative where we could ask questions to andrew. What ever happend to that? Except that it didn't take off. To bad the mod's cannot organise these things properly.
All these subjects are asked about frequently, both on the forums and in the support section of Nvidia. But we haven't received any of those features... Or proper status updates about this except "we are working on it".
It really pisses me off. Nvidia customer support could be so much better. To bad they just don't understand what makes customers come back even if the GPU is a bit slower then the offerings of competitors from almost a year ago. Zing.

Damn, now see there? Your posting would've been along much more fruitful lines if you'd made the straight comparison and let it lie.
But as long as you center it around your own personal timelines and pepper it with insults and "zings" it gets tossed along with all of the other "hate mail".
Boy, but I'd sure hate to have to invite quite a few of you to anything at all resembling a "social function". I can see you all just pissin' and moanin' 'cause the entertainment's not to your liking, or the dancing bears appeared before the dancing naked ladies...
...if you didn't come through the door bitchin' about being there in the first place 'cause there are other things you [i]could[/i] be doing...
