nVidia SLI graphics and FPS

I purchased an nVidia GeForce GTX 275 OC for i17's "Ultra Mode". It looks great but my FPS weren't as high as I would have liked for them to be, so I decided to buy another and run it in SLI. I installed it and it seems that the FPS haven't gone up at all. Am I missing something or are the dual graphics cards not supported by the game or nVidia itself? I don't know...is there someone out there that could help me please?

There is an unsupported command that can be added to your shortcut to launch the game that handles SLI.


If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Black Pebble is my new hero.

do you, or anyone else, know what that command is?

I tried. Living on 4 hours sleep, I can't even remember which dev gave it to us.


Be well, people of CoH.

but it doesn't work.

Read the whole post on Multi-Gpu.

The command is not enabled on the Live Server.

Huh? Who or what gave you the idea that slifbos is not enabled on the Live Server?

I also have to say my attempts at using this command fail while trying to use it on live. I will try a few more things, but so far the game keeps crashing.

Slifbos without the "2" works, but changes nothing. Slifbos 2 causes a crash about halfway through the load.

Zuraq (53 EM/SR Brute)
Stagmalite (50 Granite/Fire TanK)
(Couple of other's I don't care about.)

I don't know, but it's working for me...I've been playing since i posted the "thank you" and it's working MUCH better than it was. I'm getting 25-30fps running through Grandville with my resolution set at 1920 X 1080 and Ultra Mode all the way up (with FAA off). Where as before I was running at 1600 X 1024 with a few tweaks down on Ultra Mode and i was getting 20-25fps.

So how would the -slifbos 2 thing work since we don't use shortcuts anymore? We now have to go thru the launcher?

Open the launcher, right-click on City of Heroes, and go to "Properties".

Under "Extra Command Line Parameters", enter the command.




Thank you, Champion.
