Rainbow SS & VRAM/SLI Question

Hey,

Is anyone else using SLI for Rainbow Six Siege?

I have two GTX 970s and I get around 40-50 FPS with max settings and temporal filtering on instead of MSAA at 2560x1440. Can anyone compare with their performance with similar GPUs? Is this about right?

I have noticed the game only reads 4007 MB of my VRAM as well. Is anyone else encountering this? It should be 8192 MB.

Thanks

Well a single 970 is able to handle the game at 1600p VHQ 70 fps. From what Ive seen game's multi-gpu support is nonexistent. Also Vram does not stack.

I can't remember where, but I read that Rainbow Six Siege with max settings requires 6GB VRAM due to the last HD texture update or smthng like this...

So yeap, having 4GB VRAM isn't helping...

There is a SLI profile in the Driver and the game supposedly supports it, but it doesn't do crap.

Just like every other recent game. Multi-GPU support has been sh*t.

@PcGamingRig: I have a laptop with 780m 4GB SLI and I had to force SLI on through the Nvidia control panel. It made a big difference in my FPS. It was the beta though so I can't remember the exact numbers but it went from like 30ish FPS to like 60ish FPS with all settings maxed out (except for AA) if I remember correctly. Not too sure how it compares to 970 SLI but a single 970 scores about the same as my 780m SLI. And like someone else said, VRam doesn't stack. You have 4GB VRam.

BTW, you don't want temporal filtering on. It's like upscaling the game from a lower resolution or some weird crap. Makes the game look uber blurry and pixelated compared to having the option off.

Oke, I found where I read it...

VRAM to the Test: How Much Memory Is Enough? From Techspot

Benchmarks: Rainbow Six Siege, Shadow of Mordor, Dragon Age: Inquisition

Rainbow Six Siege was recently updated with a high resolution textures pack which claims to require a 6GB frame buffer at 1080p. This is an extreme requirement so we added the game to our battery of tests.

:)

And if you read the article you linked...

We should also point out that despite claims that the ultra-quality setting will consume 6GBs of VRAM or more at 1080p, we never saw usage exceed 3.8GBs at 1600p

:P
