Phoronix: NVIDIA Linux Driver Preparing To Drop SLI AA/AFR/SFR Support

NVIDIA is preparing to remove support for multi-GPU modes of AA (anti-aliasing), AFR (alternate frame rendering), and SFR (split frame rendering) from the Linux driver in the near future...

Shouldn't be a single vendor thing anyway so mix and match between all GPU's.

When it comes to Nvidia they can drop whatever they want to, I have dropped them a long time ago.
Anything that is proprietary it will eventually be dropped and nobody can do anything about it.

Is this feature still available on Windows?



Ugh NVIDIA calling Linux "Unix". Ugh NVIDIA. Can't you just say the word Linux once?!

This is just proof NVIDIA hates Linux. They can't even say Linux right.

Linux is NOT Unix!!! It is Unix-like and fully compatible, but NOT Unix! Despite EulerOS existing, it is still not Unix.

How about to create a new goddamn control panel? We are in 2020, not in the 90s.

I had almost forgotten there was a time when people could afford 2 graphics cards.

I wish nVidia would stop this artificial segmentation and just allow mosaic mode to work on consumer cards.

If it ain't broke...?

I like the nVidia Linux control panel; it's a heck of a lot quicker than the Windows one (or "GeForce Experience") and the AMD control panel in Windows was just as horrible an experience the last time I had to fix a computer with an AMD card a couple of years back...

Haha, I know. Now imagine there are places with multiple RTX 8000's in each box...

you are really into control panels ..on both AMD and Nvidia

We are in the middle of 2020 and AMD has not yet launched a control panel for its drivers, whether closed or open.

We need cli to do simple things. 🤦🏻♂️

Fu** off, AMD.

now one can barely afford one proper one ....and looking at the price rumors of the next nvidia premiums we will hit the 1500-2000$ easily

I have dropped my Nvidia support too.
