What settings to run for 9800gx2 SLI'd

Hey all,im running a q9450 o.c to 3.8,and 9800gx2's SLI'd,can NBA 2K9 run in SLI mode? also iv read alot about the fps issue and lagging when you set the game to the highest spec,is there a way around this with my specs,il be running it on a 46" LCD which is 1920 x 1080 resolution,cheers for any help

Hopefully you didn't open up this thread to show off.
Then, assuming other specs stay the same, you will gain enough performance with even one of those 9800s. Good luck.

How come you have this "46" LCD which is 1920 x 1080" but you only have a resolution of 1920x1080 your supposed to have a higher resolutions

the resolutions are obviously whateva the maximum the LCD could put out,30" monitors run at 2560 x 1600 i believe,but thats obviously because it is a Monitor made for a pc,if there was any way to get higher resolutions on my LCD,id deffinately be trying to get them,unfortunately there aint...

okay iv tried playing it full specs with msaa or whateva its called set to 2,and it lagged,then during msaa 4 it lagged very extremely,any ideas anyone,it seems to me its some sort of a bug,because im running some good cards,so i should be able to run everything on full spec shouldnt i???

I would assume that any lag is related to the SLI setup indeed. It seems to happen in many many games. Maybe try to disable the SLI and run on one card, it's still more than enough to run at max settings.

AA is really a performance hogger. You don't also need AA while you are playing the game at a higher resolution like 1920*1080.

Disable AA and see how performance will increase. If you wanna use AA again, then you should lower the resolution.

BTW, i can't mean why that powerful rig suffers FPS problems in NBA 2K9. NBA 2K9 demands lower and lower specs than a Crysis.

Hehe,by the looks of things AA sure is a performance hogger,as i said in the post below,il just settle with disabling AA and enjoy the graphics im getting atm,in SLI i was getting over 100FPS during game time,with AA disabled according to fraps anyways cheers for the info btw
