Disabling SLI through Nvidia Profiles

[avelle]

Hello fine sirs, I have a SLI question. I am fairly pleased with my new SLI setup (never used one before) but it appears to have issues with World of Warcraft. I'm getting some random flickering and WoW doesn't appear to scale well anyways. I would like to disable SLI for this game only, preferably without using the sli toggle under the nvidia control panel. I am using nvidia inspector and I see several options.

Changing "Number of GPUs to use on SLI rendering mode" from SLI_GPU_COUNT_DEFAULT to SLI_GPU_COUNT_ONE seems to have the desired effect but I wanted to make sure that this was a proper solution and it won't have some sort of random undesired effect. Anyone have experience with this?

You don't need to use Nvidia inspector, just go into the program settings, find WoW (or just add the WoW executable) and change the SLI rendering mode to Single GPU. I think the way you described it works too, but you're better off just doing it through the default GUI.

I'll give that a shot, thanks Ceph.

sli shouldn't have problems with wow, although you may see stuttering in a lot of games.

I was having an issue where my character portrait was flickering while SLI was enabled. The issue isn't present when just running on a single card. A single 580 is more than enough to max everything in WoW anyways so might as well just run on a single gpu regardless. :3
