I mean I just added a 2nd 9800 GTX+ I should have 1024mb of video ram right?

lol man you should have checked first how SLI works, youll never get twice your VRAM by adding a second GPU, and this, as CharmingCharlie posted, has nothing to do with the fact of GTA 4 does support or not SLI, ----->itll happen when you play any other game, <---------since the VRAM of the second GPU can be only used as a mirror.

oH MAN. i HAVE TO SPELL OUT EVERY f*ckING THING TO YOU GUYS. LISTEN HERE. LOOK WHERE THE ARROWS ARE. tHERE THALES 100 MAYBE NOT EXACTLY, BUT CLEARLY STATES THAT SLI DON'T WORK WITH NOTHIN ELSE.

You're a schmuck.

 

He merely said that both cards share the VRAM, so the VRAM is not doubled in a SLI and THAT is valid for any game.

exactly, which is not true, vram is doubled when playing crysis, so here go, thales100's statement is invalid and should be flushed in toilet.

stupid stupid stupid. wrong wrong wrong. I though crysis supported (and in every sense of the word) sli....and not the mirror rendering like that which occurs in IV, but additional textures are rendered.....So there u have it charming charlie is wrong, you are wrong, stop misleading the op by saying that gta iv supports sli. If this were the case he would not have posted this here today.

Youre a noob man, you dont know anything about this biggrin.gif lol ridiculous, try to search before posting, thats embarassing, what a loser jeezzz... turn.gif

Do SLI or CrossFire double the memory ? This is one the questions that many people make mistake understanding it . The answer is NO , SLI or CrossFire doesnt double the memory , You have a 512MB card , adding another card wont make your memory 1GB, it still will be 512MB Another example : A game needs 512MB card to run at maximum settings , and you have a 256MB card , and you think if you add another 256MB card , your memory will be 512MB and thats not true.

what you're all incognizant of is the factum that I had to simplify my interlocualtion to a platform comprehensible on your accounts. However, I still failed because even though I explained it in such a simple manner, you still fail to grasp the resulting meaning. You guys must fail terribly at any exam which you do.

Okay, sorry. Fact is, Rockstar says it's supported. Should be end of story right there.

Both point of view in this argument are both right and wrong. Let me clear this all up.

 

 

Fact 1: GTA IV does support sli

 

Fact 2: Sli doesnt double vram.

 

Fact 3: Sli in GTA IV does not do what it is said to be able to do so rockstar should reconsider about telling customers it supports sli

 

 

 

 

If you all still dont understand this I feel very sorry for you.

You need to see a doctor...and fast. Oh wait.....you probably will be a doctor after this reply, or at least you play one on tv, right? monocle.gif

Ok I think the OP got the answer he needs, that is assuming he can wade through the bullsh*t that GM965_X3100 posted. We seem to get a lot of these "why doesn't my blahblahx2 give me twice the ram" so i will be adding this to the FAQ me thinks.
