EVGA Doesn't Want You to Wait Around for Nvidia to Release SLI Profiles for new Games

comment Commentsprint Printemail EmailDeliciousDiggStumbleUponRedditFacebookSlashdot

While waiting for Nvidia to release SLI profiles for newly released games is indeed glamorous, it looks like EVGA is taking initiative into their own hands and releasing what they like to call the EVGA SLI Enhancement Patch.

This workaround basically adds SLI profiles created by EVGA before Nvidia adds their own versions to their drivers. According to EVGA, they’re looking to have SLI support for games available within one day of release.

Currently, they’re only supporting users with Windows Vista, but if demand by XP users is great enough they certainly won’t rule out the possibility. If you’re looking to check it out, feel free to download it here (registration required).

avatarMake your own Nvidia SLI Profile, Why Wait?

Here I'll show you how easy it is to make your own SLI game profile if one for your game does not exist yet. It's easy you don't have to wait for Nvidia or EVGA. This will only work for like Every single game out there. 

Right click on the desktop and click on the Nvidia Control Panel,

Inside Nvidia control panel click on Manage 3D settings on the left pane and then in the field on the right side it'll say Manage 3D Settings up top and there are two tabs one says Global Settings and the other says Program Settings. Go ahead and Click on Program Settings.

Uncheck the box that says Show only programs found on this computer as it's not always accurate.

To the right of that check box there is a Button Labeled Add so go ahead and click on Add. 

In the Look in: field search for Local Disk (C:) and then click on Program files and then  Search for your game and click on it's folder and then click on it's executable and then click on Open and the box will disapear and your game will be in the Program Settings games list just scroll though the games in the Select program to customize and have at it. 

 When your done you can close the window as everything is automatically saved and start your game you'll notice that in SLI your game runs alot faster if not close to twice as fast.
