SLI Confirmed Working! :D

[Luca]

so placed a pre order and already played the demo on ps4 but just downloaded again to check performance metrics hoping id get a locked 4K 60.

I noticed at first only 1 gpu supported and started to get worried :S 4K max settings on 1 Titan X Pascal / 1080ti gets about 45 fps in the main hall. Then i remembered that RE7 also didn't natively support sli but worked with the batman arkham origins profile in DX11 mode and i figured seen as RE2 is the same engine it would also work...? and it did! :D

With dual Titan X Pascal / 2 x 1080Ti with Batman Arkham Origins profile I now get a completely locked 4K 60fps with all settings maxed besides shadows set to high instead of max due to bandwidth and volumetric lighting set to medium instead of high (if set to high there are a couple of scenes that dip to around 52ish fps) other than that works great and smooth as butter! :D looks great, plays great and seems a great game! can't wait for the full release now :D

Just throwing this information out there to help anyone with an SLI rig for both the Demo and full game. Have fun :)

how to enable or get the batman profile ?

[To0t]

so it is not officially supported???

[Luca]

it is not officially supported no just like RE7 was not officially supported. you have to use nvidia inspector to create a new profile. call it RE2 Remake or whatever, then add the re2.exe from the C:/Programfiles(x86)/Steam/Steamapps/Common/Resident Evil 2 1 Shot Demo Folder. add compatibility bits for DX10/11 to Batman Arkham origins and set your gpu count to 2 in the SLI section. Apply then close and boot into game, make sure you run in DX11 mode and both gpus will be utilised :D

or you can just get one good card and never have to bother with any of this.

lol. i have 2 titan x pascals xD they are very good cards, 1080ti x 2 basically. you can run 60fps 4k on 1 gpu but not at max settings, for that you do need 2 gpu... no way around it with this game... 2 cards required for absolute max settings...

[Luca]

if you use the graphics quality preset you can run 4K 60 on 1 single 1080TI but you will see only 6.10 GB of VRAM is used and a lot of settings are still compromised. I have everything set to complete maximum with this setup besides shadows and volumetric lighting. and if you have 2 gpus then why not might as well :)

[To0t]

thanks, the instruction will help me alot when i get home, i hope i can at least make use of a 165hz monitor with it

[Luca]

heres a video how to do it seen as i can't figure out how to post a screenshot on here xD

its for RE7 but its exactly the same. only difference is you have to create a new profile and call it RE2 then add the .exe file as explained in my above post ^ but the rest is the same :)

[Flora]

It works, thannks, dude.

[Dubai🌴🌞F💛xDIE]

works fine for me to with 2x 980ti , in 4k around 40~52. i must disable fxaa/taa, if not i get weird wobbling screen

Yes, SLI is a pain in the ass sometimes with engines that don't play nice but I'd rather have the horsepower of 2 1080ti's than 1 2080ti which if I bought now would be more expensive than my two GPUs which are much more powerful (minus raytracing and DLSS) than the upgrade to one 2080ti. So until at least the 20xx series successors come out I'd rather deal with this for now. (FWIW if 2080ti came out at the same price the 1080ti did I would have swapped out GPUs as I have extended warranties, but I can't give up two great cards for the first gen RTX 80ti model)

[Coffee]

Better just run on a single powerful GPU with a lot of VRAM than less powerful two cards in SLI.

[Brussels_Sprouts_Are_Not_Food]

Why would you want SLi/mGPU these days? Unless you're desperate and running multiple low end cards or you just have to see the highest FPS for testing?

SLi is a great way to ruin your game.

i haven't played the demo yet, but that sounds unlikely. i have a 2080 ti and i haven't run into one game yet that i can't play on max in 4k at atleast 60 fps. anyways i just think these days is better to just use one card.

[Luca]

the 2080 ti hovers just above 60fps on the graphical fidelity preset. around 64-66 frames. but the 1080ti or titan pascal on 1 card alone only reaches about 57 fps with dips to 53. 2 cards required for locked 60. and would rather have 2 titan x pascal than 1 2080ti because not enough of a performance boost for the price increase.... and i also get like 100fps with 2 cards :D. also 2080ti doesnt run every game in 4k 60. try deus ex mankind divided lol you still need 2 cards for sure... besides the titan X still has more vram and i can turn up a couple extra settings too :)
