>Additional Properties->OpenGL Settings panel and select the appropriate application in the 
Custom OpenGL Application Setting pane. Application specific settings exist for many 
applications including: 3ds max; AutoCAD; CATIA; Maya / Studio Tools; Pro/ENGINEER; Solid 
Edge; SolidWorks; and Unigraphics, among others. 
 
11. Turn off hyperthreading. To achieve maximum performance, particularly in SolidWorks, turn 
off hyperthreading. 
 
12. Pay close attention to system memory size. Many benchmarks are sensitive to how much 
system memory is in the computer. For example, the 3ds max benchmarks run significantly faster 
with 1GB of memory than with 512 MB. This is true regardless of which video card is in the 
machine. 
 
13. Always use the latest version of DirectX for testing. To check on the current version, go to: 

  

 
Note:  After selecting the correct application setting REMEMBER TO DISABLE V-SYNC 
 
Configure SLI Multi-View for Linux 
To configure SLI Multi-View mode for Linux, please follow these steps: 
 
If you want 2 displays, one per GPU, then use copy the config file XF86Config.sample-2 to 
/etc/X11/XF86Config by running these commands. 
 
 

cp /etc/X11/XF86Config /etc/X11/XF86Config.bak 

 

cp XF86Config.sample-2 /etc/X11/XF86Config 

 
If you want 4 displays, two per GPU, then use copy the config file XF86Config.sample-4 to 
/etc/X11/XF86Config by running these commands. 
 
 

cp /etc/X11/XF86Config /etc/X11/XF86Config.bak 

 

cp XF86Config.sample-4 /etc/X11/XF86Config 

 
You'll need to modify the config file to specify the correct GPUs.  To do this, first determine the 
BUSID of both of your GPUs.  You can do this by running the command 
 
 

 /sbin/lspci  | grep -i NVIDIA | grep VGA 

 
You should see output that looks something like this: 
 
 

02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation: Unknown device 00f8 (rev a2) 

 

06:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation: Unknown device 00f8 (rev a2) 

 
The numbers are the start of two lines (01:00.0 and 05:00.0) are the BUSIDs of your GPUs.  
Write these numbers down. 
 
Now edit the file /etc/X11/XF86Config using your favorite text editor. 
 
Find the lines in the XF86Config file that say "BusID".  There should be two.  Replace each of the 
numeric ids with one of the BUSIDs you found in the previous step.  For example, you would 
replace  
 

 

 

BusID       "PCI:01:00:0"' 

 

    

with 

 

 

 

BusID       "PCI:02:00:0"'.   

 
The order doesn't matter but be sure to use both BUSIDs. 
 
That's it.  Now you should be able to restart your X server and the changes will take effect.
