What processor are you using? If you don't have enough juice to push the cards you only gain resolutions (which many feel is worth it). M HELL BOY wrote: > > is there a trick to it or what? > almost no fps change!!!!!!

SLI (Scan Line Interleaving) Mode is when you use two Voodoo2 cards together by connecting a special SLI cable between the two cards. One card creates the even lines while the other card creates the odd lines of the display. This increases the potential fill rate that the cards are able to produce and makes Z-buffering possible at 1024x768. It does not guarantee games will go faster if they are limited by the potential fill rate. If BlasterControl detects SLI and you are able to play your games in 1024x768, SLI should be functioning normally. -- Tammy Lee Creative Labs Inc. http://support.soundblaster.com Tech Support 405-742-6655 Fax 405-742-6633 "HELL BOY" <ZOMBIEJESUS@HOTMAIL.COM> wrote in message news:8m9fp4$96p$1@news.creativelabs.com... > > FINAL REALITY! > YES!

16 MB is right... Texture memory (8 MB) is copied to both texture units and
you double your frame buffer (4MB + 4MB = 8MB) giving you a total of 16
MB... Final reality is a benchmark tool. I've come to the conclusion that
these generic tests (3dMark, et al.) never show real world performance. So
try it on a real game like Quake 2 or 3... Especially Quake2 since it has
3dNow optimizations... You'll see a difference there.. You'll also see a
diff in Unreal Tournament..

Quake2 or Unreal (latest patches for both) give a good indication. Try it with and without sli installed, then shout if it doesn't work

You want increase in fps on your V2 SLI'ed? The K6-350Mhz won't cut it. Upgrade to P3 600E or higher (K7) then you will see the difference.
