Dual GPU Support

[Espagrud]

I'm just building a new computer and i was wondering if the game supported dual gpu's. i was wondering just because i was thinking about getting dual gpu's but i'm just not to sure if the game supports it.

I don't recommend it. The game uses the GPU to render textures which are used for more than one frame, which causes problems in SLI setups in alternate frame mode. If they share the same memory it might work well enough, but even in that case alternate frame rendering with 2 GPUs will still give you an extra frame of lag compared to a single GPU.

Would there be a way to change that without a complete overwrite of the game's code?

I think it might work if I kept separate terrain textures for odd and even frames. Only thing is it's a fairly uncommon setup and the game isn't that demanding so usually runs well on one GPU anyway.

Ok then ill just get one higher end GPU.
Thanks
