Re: Geforce GTX SLI under Linux
Should we make an Petition Topic to get NVIDIA responding and fixing those SLI issues?

 The driver not working like expected is one thing, but not acknowledging it and just ignoring the problem is much worse. I simply don't understand why they don't post a few lines to say that they are aware of it and hopfully working on the issue. Look at the Windows benchmarks, Fermi cards CAN scale really well! And then what about SLI GUI plans or profile plans? Please Nvidia, let your light shine upon us... |

Re: Geforce GTX SLI under Linux
The SLI support in linux is very disappointing to say the least. In windows SLI scales amazingly well on my dual 460's, *and* I can use 2 monitors, while in linux I can't use dual monitors with SLI (twinview requires you to disable sli to use both monitors), and when I do use SLI the scaling is often nonexistant or WORSE than running a single card.

Re: Geforce GTX SLI under Linux
With 3 GPUs, it's almost worse . . . In Windows, I run the primary screen in SLI, and the secondary off of GPU 3 . . . In Linux, the driver is incapable of allowing the third card to run independently of the SLI pair, so I either get one faster screen alone, or two without any SLI benefits . . . which sucks!
