<div class="IPBDescription">Natural Selection 2 – added SLI profile</div>wondering if any fellow SLI users are noticing an improvement with this driver update. One of the rigs I put together as two 670's and was looking at an average FPS of 22 - hoping this driver set fixes that.

    OC i7 running at 4.68, was definitely the Gpu (sli) setup slowing it down, I've got lower cards putting out better performance on lower cpus

    finally a proper sli profile...

    I hope performance will improve a little now.

    It wasnt bad for me 120-60 fps minimum but i had odd fps drops.

    Lets see whether this driver does something.

    The NS2 SLI profile has been in since 310.54 Beta (Released Nov 12th).

    The 310.70 WHQL drivers are exactly the same as the 310.70 Beta except for the WHQL status.

    Driver notes only note improvements between WHQL releases and not between beta releases. The previous WHQL driver was 306.97.

    Holy ######. This may fix the massive performance issues I've had recently. Running 2xGTX570 in SLI mode may of been hindering me instead of helping.

    As far as my SLI, letting the new default SLI profile take over makes things worse for me. I played a quick game and reverted back to manually setting "alternate frame rendering 2" in the nvidia control panel. That works way better.

    That is a real disappointment - It appears to me that SLI Performance is some how broken..

    Pretty much this.

    I was hoping for at least stable FPS but the drives didn't seem noticeably change anything. Haven't tried the 234 patch yet, but since 233 broke my FPS & people are already saying that performance has decreased again i'm not holding out for much.

    Do not use the default SLI porfile. I have tested it many times and have found a better one. Use the dishonored profile instead. If you want to know how to do this, send me a PM and I will guide you through it.

    Im using x2 GTX680 in SLI with i7 2600k @ 4.2GHz im running with 50-90fps with SLI, its almost the same with only 1 card but the GPU usage is only at 22% each card. I have no clue how to "use profiles" but I changed some settings for NS2 in 3D settings but FPS is still ######. I dont know why this game uses so little GPU power.
