12 months of trying to resolve SLI - time to turn to square enix

[Mikaka]

fwiw checking to see if it was due to the number of cards was the first thing I checked :P 2 cards,3 cards, 4 cards, x4, x8, x16 the end result is the same. If your using 2 cards and your sli is working and its on multiple displays in windows 8.1 than your having a different issue all together.

think about that for a minute. I just said I was working on fixing this for 12 months.. and you suggest I try running with 2 cards instead of 4 ... /facepalm

not that id just pop out 2 (half) of my gpus and have em hang out over a game anyhow. Its not up for me to make my system work its up to the vendors to make the game/hardware work.

Anyhow IF people are using 8.1xSurroundxSLI and are having an issue - renaming the install directory will fix it for you. While I need to understand the root (believe it has something to do w/ profiles but no way of saying till I hear from someone on the inside) I wanted to make sure I got the word out to all the folks suffering with this.

As for DX9 v DX11 - in wow for example, I get better minimum fps and a smoother framerate in dx9 than in dx11. Also in dx11 I have really funky rendering issues where postrendering of mountains/stuff on the horizon just shows up white/blank. I don't think the dx11 client is going to be the end all be all of fixes people are hoping for. Regardless it should help some and with image quality for sure. Problem is it should have been present ALL along. Instead another greedy company has no cooth/shame in blatantly and obviously showing how greedy it is by developing every client and system that can make them $$ before bringing the game up to speed for people who have already paid for it.

you and NVidia are soulmates it appears.

I just wanted to let you know that I had 3x Nvidia GTX Titan Black and just added a 4th GTX Titan Black and I am running a Core i7 4790k on and MSI X-Power AC motherboard, 32GB Corsair Dominator Platinum RAM 2400Mhz, using Nvidia Surround using three 3840x2160 4k monitors and I'm getting like 200fps. My Titan Blacks have been working in SLI using Windows 8.1 for months now. Unfortunately, I don't know what your variable is. Maybe your motherboard?
