Enable SLI in Red Faction Guerrilla

**Aus_Karlos** · 10-08-2009, 10:56 PM

Doing the following steps gave me a two-fold in performance (graphics wise). Physics are calculated by the CPU so if its collapsing buildings that slows you down this wont help.
Anyway...

1) You require the minimal system requirements and 2x Nvidia cards that are SLI compatible.

2) Download nHancer either 32-bit or 64-bit. You then require the latest drivers or at least 182. (Also works with the latest CUDA drivers 2.3)

3) For nHancer to detect RFG you need to manually create a profile

4) Once you have created a new profile you need to select the rfg.exe and its launcher.

5) Now on the right hand side there are a few TABs, click on SLI Mode and choose "4-way AFR", Then click on the next tab that says SLI DX10 and choose "4-way AFR" again (Only need to do SLI DX10 if your running Vista/Win7 with a DX10 card)

Extra notes -
Mess around with some other settings like SLI AA, ive found out it will only work with RFG upto AA:SLI 16xQ. But keep Ambient Occlusion unchecked, as it caused some issues on my system. (AO is already enabled in RFG)

After a bit of testing ive roughly bench-marked my system with RFG.
No SLI -
1680x1050 w/ x16AA, maxed settings = 30-40 fps on the Walker mission.

With SLI
Same settings but with AA:SLI 16xQ = 70-80fps on Walker Mission

Enjoy..
