How can I activate my second videocard for SAMP?
Hey,
I've got a problem.
My game lags when I have a modded GTA:SA, while I have 2x GeForce GT650M.
I found out later that I play on 1 of my videocards.
I wonder how I can activate my second videocard for GTA:SA.
Thanks in advance.
Specs:
Intel® Core™ i7-3630QM CPU @ 2.40 GHz
RAM 16GB
64-bit Operating system, x64-based processor

Have you tried using an SLI bridge to link the two together?

SAMP's an old ass game, I highly doubt SLI will work for it considering the majority of new games can't even handle it efficiently.

Re: How can I activate my second videocard for SAMP?
SAMP being an old game doesn't have anything to do with it.
OP -
Go to NVIDIA Control Panel, Configure SLI, Surround, Physx on the left (https://imgur.com/a/msAJi.), go to maximize 3D performance from there, then to Manage 3D Settings, Program Settings and choose GTA San Andreas. (https://m.imgur.com/a/GptfW.)
Try the alternate frame rendering 1 and 2.
If it doesn't work, download NVIDIA Inspector and follow this tutorial:

If it still doesn't work, feel free to quote me.

It still runs slow with a medium ENB.
What can I do?

Re: How can I activate my second videocard for SAMP?
Your video cards are quite outdated and I doubt that GTA:SA even supports SLI.
Your best bet is to remove the ENB altogether and play without it.

GTX 650Ms can't handle ENBs. End of.

Then it probably used the 2 cards, but the performance was still bad.
Use MSI Afterburner to check if both cards are being utilized. It shows GPU usage of each card in %. Let me know and we'll continue from there.

I've overclocked and now it works fucking good with the ENB.
