Multi-GPU 'Performance' vs 'Quality'

well performance is turning a thing down or two where it looks worse for more FPS. while quality turns UP the settings for possibly less FPS.

shadow85 , I don't think that the other poster here are quite grasping what you are asking... (no offense to anyone of course! )

Anyways, I had an SLI setup for about half the time ME:A has been out and I saw the same option that you are talking about.
In my testing, SLI was severely broken during the time I was running it and this setting didn't seem to have any effect on that.
However, I never noticed any sort of graphical differences between "Quality" and "Performance," but I did notice a difference in microstutter and general smoothness.

If I had to make an educated guess, I would say that the setting controls how the game handles frame pacing vs. raw performance.
I would make the assumption that Quality mode sacrifices mGPU scaling and raw speed to make sure the frame pacing is even and smooth whereas Performance biases the game engine to pump out greater fps at the expense of smoothness.

I could be wrong, but I can't think of a better explanation. Try reaching out to an ME:A dev on Twitter. They may be able to help you better.

Well I have 2x ASUS GTX 1080 Ti STRIX OC. The next card up would be Pascal Xp. Not really going to pay 2x the price for a 10% increase in performance.




Well said. Yea I find it strange that I go from 45fps in Quality mode to 77fps in Performance mode for Multi-GPU.

I use quality. Performance looks too crappy. I am running 2 1080ti's +300 core clock and +500 mem clock with a i7-7700k at 4.8ghz and i am constantly at 80+ fps at 5k resoultion dell monitor.
