sli gaming problem

[Furic]

Hi all ive just got the new gfx card both the same and same revisions. And tbh i havent seen any improvement.
In quake4 ive dropped frames and vsync doesnt work correctly EG theres like a lag/delay when moving in games. I was told, i would see a lot of differance in games.I have found none infact, its worse. im just trying to figure out if the cpu is holding me back. Or ive missed something.

While playing quake 4 on a single card it was very smooth but dropped fps on certain maps now it just drops when it feels like.

in 3d mark i score 8997 Sli
Sli Enabled
multi gpu rendering ON
i just dont see a peformance hit.

current drivers
bios is set to what it says in manual
newest bios for motherboard
latest drives for nforce chipset
latest nvidia drivers

my setup is
AMD Athlon™ 64 Processor 3500+ @ 2400MHz on standard hsf
ASUS A8N-SLI Premium
RAM 1GB

thanks for your replys guys . it 3dmark 05.
I cant change the tab in quake4 profile that enables multi gpu. it says its readonly.

But it feels well slow. if i take one card out it goes like a rocket and with current cfg for quake its great. asoon as i stick in 2nd card it feels laggy and drops fps and very choppy.

And it tears like mad.

I have read other forums and what i gather is the mouse lags in quake 4 with vsync on and sli has known issues with vsync.

But my main problems are fps drops and really bad fps.
I no there not uber cards but there far from worst.

btw im not on high quality im on next one down.

If i ask quake4 2 detected settings it auto configures my gfx card to 800x600
high quality thats exactly the same as one card on its own.

SLI TAB IS TICKED...

Thanks in advance......

So there is no point in sli i was going for peformance after reading toms hardware. on that website it pointed out the 6800gt in sli was getting 112.5fps im getting no where near that i no the game is capped but im still not getting smooth game play its gay tbh.

going to get coolbits...

Ok ive overclocked the cards and all seems fine. there now @ 400/1100
Scores as follows...
3dmark05 7997 1600x1200
3dmark05 8594 1280 x 1024
3dmark05 9328 1024 x 768
3dmark 05 9461 800x600

But the quake4 profile on multi gpu is still read only....
