Running FFXIV With SLI

Post by Red_Xix »

Ok, this is not going to edit any game files, so no worrying about SE pulling your tail.

all you do is update your drivers, run the "Nvidia Tool" export your profiles, add the FFXIVgame.exe profile, and import the new profile. The link I am going to provide will give you better instructions than I jut did but I wanted to give ya' a heads up that this is not a game edit, not a "hack". What you are doing is creating a profile for FFXIVgame.exe to run in SLI. The profile is based on the Crysis game, and runs a bit different on every computer, so tweek away.

So if you (like me) have a PC with two/three videocards you are all set to boost graphics to the max! =^_^=

Oh, and yes Nvidia is working on creating a profile for the game, so if you are not tech-savy enough for this, you can wait... it should be up some time within the year.

Meow, good stuff, Thanks for posting.

Currently I am only getting low low end on FFXIV but with SLI I should get decent settings on similar resolution... Thanks a bunch =)

It seems I mis-typed :shock:

I'm not yet ingame, I meant to base that off my Open Beta performance.

Game is supposed to arrive tomorrow, So Ill let you know by the weekend :)

I only have one card. :)

That being said, I did set up a custom profile in Catalyst for XIV; I turned the anti-aliasing off in the FFXIV config and then forced 4x through the card's settings. It seems to look better and run faster.
