Coding games

[shaynoa]

When coding a game for SLI/ Crossfire can this coding be done in a patch for the game or must it be done to the game engine in the developing stage.
thank you in advance
sorry for the double post but it would appear that everybody in programming is clueless

I did some minor programming back in the day but with todays language it would seem possible to do with a patch.

You have to buy a few books on how to optimize your game for specific video cards.

Can be added in a patch, but then again anything can be added in a patch.

A patch by the developers. A patch by a third party to the game code is potentially doable but potentially a lot of work depending on why the game doesn't work, its also going to be illegal.

A patch can (and often does) change the game engine, it is not merely an add-on.

I've only down some 3D development, but I've always found that SLI/Crossfire is transparent - it just works automatically, and doesn't require the engine to support it specifically.
