Old computer died on me and instead of fixing it I think its time for an upgrade. New computer will be a intel i7 build with dual gtx 260 cards in sli mode. Just wanted to see if anyone else is playing this game with SLI cards and if you are having any problems.

Before you say its overkill for this game I already know that, this isn't the only game I play.

I know that but what i'm trying to say is anyone playing with sli still enabled? I could disable 1 card and still run the game at the max. Would be nice to keep it enabled to avoid turning off one everytime I play sro.

like i said silkroad is not SLI supported, so with SLI enabled or not it runs the same. Check your sli settings you can manage it there.

It ran fine for me, however I usually don't use my second card because I have two monitors. I can't remember if I had to fiddle with SLI settings though.

You don't need graphics power for sro .. you need gpu ram ...

i cant even play with high settings since euro is out (i had an average of 50 fps before euro with high settings)... maybe because of my 1GB ram? do i need to get more in order to play with higher settings?

loading graphics is still needed, obv the better the graphics card the better i mean even if its for future proofing.

but if you dont want to lag you need to be able to process the graphics and process the information as quick as you can

Vista ultimate can use up to 24 gigs of ram, which is overkill unless your running a server. 6 gigs of ddr3 and 1.7 gigs of video ram between 2 gtx 260's should be more than enough for me :P. Will be running on a 24 inch 1080p monitor. I'll take hi res pics with max AA and AF when my build is complete.

Fraps sli "enabled" has no effect on your graphic card SLI settings
