I reccommend this bug be closed on the grounds this is a driver issue, not an SL issue. AFAICT, SLI doesn't support OpenGL.
"SLI technology can be enabled for every gaming application, including both OpenGL and Direct3D gaming applications."
Why a feature rather than a meta-issue? Multiple GPU setups are getting to be de rigour for 3D gaming setups. Not supporting it maybe a feature however it also is an ability whose absence makes SL a second class 3D application.
Moreover, the people who have SLI/Crossfire are also the one who have money to spend playing. It just seemed to me that this issue wasn't likely to have a cloud of sub-issues, and thus was kind of an atomic feature: either you support SLI or you don't.
from the guidelines: Meta Issue: Describes a general category of problems rather than a specific problem New Feature: A new feature of the product, which has yet to be developed I don't feel strongly about it. I certainly didn't mark it "new feature" because I don't think it is worth doing. Voted. It is both SLI and Crossfire and affects the positions of Second Life in the 3D Virtual World. Support for SLI/Crossfire will be necessary to support games. Also, SL's differentiator is its 3D affects. To maintain those affects...to run on Ultra with 16x AA on a 1980x1080 monitor/TV you NEED SLI or Crossfire. And that doesn't mean multiple physical cards, both are offered with two GPUs on a single card, or a desktop, laptops are now available, or high end (both are available as hybrids using a mid-range graphics card with the on-board graphics on some Nvidia or AMD chipsets.
Meta-issues do not work this way (they're used more for broad categories of symptoms, like "meta-issue: lag" or "meta-issue: inventory loss", or other categories). They're also nearly impossible to finish...
 Lets put this into "Meta-issue: Improve Performance!"
Changed the title to better reflect the description...
Then it is a bug...I'm fine with a bug if it is supposed to be there.
Ok we need to Organize this Pile of SLI stuff renaming and such, We already have a feature request for SLI support so please vote on VWR-7964 for it. This can describe the crashing bug, but we need your debug logs, http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Debug_Help
 will let you know how to find them. Sounds like you're overclocking to me. Advise you just do-away with your multiple cards and get a single one with Dual SLI enabling.
Can you please attach copies of your crash logs?
How could it be resolved? I just saw your post a few minutes ago.
Where are the crash logs located? |
