#Rfactor 2 graphics settings driver#

It is not clear if it is a problem of the Nvidia driver or of rFactor 2, but Virtual reality pre-rendered frames must be set to 2 in order to use SLI to its full potential. This last setting, although is strange, is what forces the second card to run at full speed as well.

Virtual reality pre-rendered frames: 0x00000002.

Nvidia predefined SLI mode: …MODE_FORCE_AFR2.

Nvidia predefined number of GPUs to use in SLI rendering mode: …GPU_COUNT_TWO.

Power management mode: prefer maximum performance.Nvidia predefined FXAA usage: disallowed.Once downloaded and opened, we must load the rFactor 2 profile and make the following changes:

Motorist users will know it because it’s the only way to apply antialiasing correctly to the simulator since a couple of years ago. To change the SLI configuration we must download a program called Nvidia Inspector. Luckily, the rFactor 2 community has managed to give, based on what surely have been dozens of hours of testing, the right configuration for SLI, and they have been kind enough to share it with the web. In this case, we can see that if we load rF2 with the default profile, the simulator only uses one of the two graphic cards. The problem is that it will be the user who will have to make his own life to configure his equipment and he will not receive any kind of official help, neither from the creator of the game, nor from Nvidia. However, a lot of games, simulators or not, work perfectly with SLI in spite of not having support.

rFactor 2 does not have native SLI support, which means that the development team does not recommend its use or work to improve performance.

Test conditions: Sebring with 30 GTE at sunset, to gather elongated shadows with abundant reflections and car lights, trying to put as much graphic load as possible.įirst test, first issues.

Nvidia’s SLI profile: yes, but inoperative.

Before we take action, let’s take a look at the starting situation: Will we be able to finally conquer rFactor 2 in ultra? If you have seen the video above, you will get an idea, but there are many things to test. Although Studio 397 has improved the simulator in the last years, it is still a title that costs a lot to run at full graphic fidelity and it will be a good first test for our SLI. We started our journey by testing rFactor 2, a simulator that has commonly been blamed for poor performance for the level of graphics shown.
