Geforce 295

Your having the problem for the same reason people that have 3 video cards have - WoW very strongly likes to use the primariy video card to do all the processing and its difficult to trick it into using the others.

Sure you might have 2x or 3x cards but if check their load, all the 3D side of the crunching its being done by one GPU only.

For that exactly reason I bought a ATI 5870 over a GTX 295. I really wanted more Video RAM but it wasn't worth it for the dual-gpu issues.

I also use a GTX 295 and IS with an 920 at 3.4GHz, 12G RAM and 2 x Intel X25Ms. I use a single 30" monitor with active client taking up the bulk of the screen and the 4 others down the right side.

My graphics options are ultimate on the main but with the shadow effects set to minimum. I find this is a major killer, even when I am running a single client in azeroth I will get sub max fps (but still playable).

Graphics on the alts is set to minimum on all and I have no problems at all with this in instances.

Where my graphics struggle is in Dal. I run around on the main getting 20-30fps in most situations there, although on porting, this can dip to 10. I never use follow because of it, but it is slightly annoying to get choppy performance at all. To be honest I have not looked at my graphics usage much, but I will check it out more closely and get back to you.

I previously had a Geforce 7950 Gx2 which is also a dual gpu board. I never got the max potential out of this card and I had alot of different problems in multiple games probably due to either driver problems or games not being able to utilize the card properly.

Bought a 9800 GT with 1gb ram for half the price of the other card. and it works like a charm.... stupid multiple gpu shit.

would like to learn more about people that have gotten a dual-GPU card working using IS or Win 7? I need to upgrade soon, Santa maybe??

I'm planning on replacing my 295 as soon as i can get it off my hands, useless for WoW to be honest

I had the impression that the multiple GPU cards had a chip for controlling and utilizing both GPU so the computer/games only would see 1 GPU but a dahm fast one

But I guess its not like that.

For a lot of applications, the X2 cards or SLI/Crossfire mode is a huge boost.
Unfortunately, wow is not one of these.

A 5870 is definitely on my "want" list.
Unless the GT300 comes out soon and is better.
Could care less about the DX11 stuff, basically I play wow and some older games.
Although I'll try Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3, I'm sure.
