How to create your own custom NVIDIA SLI application profile using Coolbits:
 
The following steps allow you to create a new SLI application profile for a title not currently supported:
 
Step 1. If you already have Coolbits installed, you can skip to Step 2. Otherwise, click on your Start Menu in the Windows Task Bar and select Run. When the command box opens, type "regedit" (without the quotes) and press OK. With the registry editor open (shown below), go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SOFTWARE \NVIDIA Corporation \Global \NVTweak (expand the menu using the "+" expansion buttons to locate this menu item). Click on "NVTweak" in the menu. Next, right-click on the empty space inside right window and choose "New>DWORD value". Name the value "Coolbits" (without the quotes).

Step 3. Open the NVIDIA Display Control Panel and select "Add Profile"(located on the Application profiles section under Performance & Quality Settings):

Step 5.

Highlight the "SLI rendering mode" found under Advanced Settings setting and choose your desired SLI rendering mode. The available rendering modes are:

  • Auto-Select*
  • Alternate frame rendering
  • Split frame rendering
  • Alternate frame rendering 2**
  • Single-GPU rendering
  • SLI Antialiasing

*Auto-Select: Driver automatically selects the multi-GPU rendering mode

**Alternate frame rendering 2: Alternate version of AFR - may provide better performance than AFR on some applications
