    Hi guys

    I have a problem :)

    I have 2x gtx 680 and one FX3800 (for the other monitors) in my computer.

    If I play PA, it runs on the FX 3800 -.- All the other games run on the GTX680 SLI...

    Why?
    How can i fix that?

    thank you

    Open your Nvidia control panel, add the Planetary Annihilation executable (PA.exe) to your list of games (you have to do this manually), and set it to run on ONLY ONE of your Nvidia cards. If you try and use SLI it will absolutely ruin your performance.

    Cool, thanks. now it runs on one GTX 680.

    Not the best solution, but better than running on the fx3800 :)

    Currently it's best solution for PA because SLI is not supported yet.

    I not posted this answer, but here it is:
    Let me guess: your FX3800 in first PCIe slot? I had this problem long time ago, it's was because of that.

    I really think you need to ask nvidia support about that. As long as I know there is no functionality to choose graphics adapter in OpenGL for Nvidia cards. E.g there is functionality in WGL_NV_gpu_affinity, but it's only for Quadro cards (e.g it's don't let choose GTX card).

    PS: Anyway ask Nvidia support because they need to fix it.

    mushroomars gave me the solution yet :)

    No the quadro card is in the third PCIe slot.

    I can choose which card should render the OpenGL.

    Now it works, only on one card, but it works :)

    its ok for the first time and its still alpha, so no matters :)
