Using The 3D App Profiles; Viewing Load Balancing - Nvidia FX1300 - Quadro FX 128MB Dual DVI-I PCIe Video Card User Manual

Using the 3D App Profiles

The following three preset application profiles for OpenGL applications are useful in
SLI configurations:
• 3D App‐Modeling AFR
This profile uses SLI AFR mode.
• 3D App‐Visual Simulation
This profile uses SLI SFR mode.It is also useful for non‐SLI configurations, since it
optimizes the driver for texture‐ and shader‐intensive operations.
• 3D App‐Default Global Settings
This profile uses SLI single‐GPU rendering mode, and is also useful for non‐SLI
configurations.
To enable one of these profiles, open the Performance & Quality Settings page and
then select the profile from the Active profile list.

Viewing Load Balancing

To view the relative amount of work, or load balancing, performed by each GPU in
DirectX and OpenGL applications, select the Show GPU load balancing check box
on the NVIDIA SLI Multi‐GPU page (Figure 8.3).
This option enables an SLI status bar that reflects how the GPUs are working together
to render DirectX and OpenGL full‐screen applications. See Figure 8.4.
