I've googled and found about 2-3 topic with conflicting replies (users saying it does, and users saying that there is no noticeable difference on the korean servers). Does Tera actually support SLI? I purchased another GTX 460 yesterday and it'd be a waste if it didn't.

Yes they do. This question was answered via twitter feed i think yesterday it was.

Good to know! Thanks for the info, appreciate it.

Err...what do you mean support SLI/CFX, having SLI or CFX just greatly improves your graphics capabilities. TERA is not Battlefield 3 where its so graphics intense that you'll get like 20-30 fps @ 1920x1080 with a GTX 460.

I'm running a GTX 260 and I get constant 50-60 fps @ TERA's graphics setting batch 5 (it has 1-6 btw) when I played the Japanese beta.

TERA Online uses the Unreal 3 engine. According to the Wikipedia, the unreal 3 engine is more forgiving than the other game engines out there. Like what Fysik said, this isn't BF3 where the engine requires some ungodly PC to play 60fps+ @ 1920x1080.

SLI/CFX will help run your game smoother. Its not as strange as the first few SLI configurations back when Nvidia had the 7800 GTX cards... /facepalm

Didn't know that. All I know is it was impossible to play Aion on high without my FPS dropping a ton. Anyways, Tera was the main (but not only) reason I wanted to get another card, so it's nice to know that it's supported.

TERA Korea does not benefit from Crossfire. It works but your fps isn't better (uses only one card).


En Masse has said TERA NA would at launch.
I am going to test tomorrow if this is true for closed betas.

Set-up :

CPU : AMD Phenom x6 3.2GHz
RAM : 16GB
HD : SSD 120GB
PSU : 1000 Watts

GPU : 6950/70 2GB + 6970 2GB Crossfire on dual 16 lanes Motherboard.

Screens : 1680*1050 + 1600*1200 + 1680*1050







Eyefinity : 5040*1050

SLI and Crossfire are terrible wastes of money. Enjoy your microstuttering.

For the price of GTX 570 you can get performance which beats GTX 580 to dust if you crossfire HD 6870's... Yeah what a waste of money.

Btw most games these days support SLI/Crossfire by default and gives huge increase in performance.

Translation: For most uses, one powerful card is usually better than two mid-level cards for most gamers but buying one card now and a similar card later, as your hardware ages, is a good way to retain the value of your initial investment rather than selling your $300 card on Craigslist for $50 used and buying another midlevel card.
