I run a single GTX 480 so can't comment on how well optimized Hawken/Nvidia is with two cards.

My only suggestions would be to make sure your drivers are up to date.

Make sure you set the power management mode to 'prefer maximum performance' in the manage 3d settings | program settings tab of the nvidia control panel -- sounds like your card is not ramping up the way it should. If you don't have a profile for Hawken in that tab, add one by pointing to the hawkengame-win32-shipping.exe.
Try this, see if it makes a difference! My card runs at full bore when I play, so I'm guessing that this is the cause of your issue.

im on a laptop which has gtx460m, i7 2.0ghz, 8 gb ram and im having about 100 fps while theres no action ingame. but it stutters alot when theres alot fire going on, and fps goes down to 15-20 for a few seconds.
although this game still needs to be optimized alot, your rig should be able to handle it better still.

the critical point there is to have the drivers uninstalled successfully, that the windows should be recognising your card as "generic graphics card" or something like that at some point. then you can be sure that the drivers are COMPLETELY uninstalled, and its ready to be re-installed.

I reccommend you set one of your GPU's as a Physx only GPU and use the other one to run everything else. You'll get 60+FPS easy that way...

This is what I set on the Nvidia control panel.
https://community.pl...en/#entry216188
This is what I would do if I were you.
I'd exit Hawken,
goto
My Documents/My Games/Hawken/HawkenGame/Config
rename the current config directory to config1, and then restart hawken and select and apply your video settings, then exit hawken again.
Then go back to the new config directory and open Hawkenengine.ini and set
MaxParticleResize=10
MaxParticleVertexMemory=1000
Make sure you set both sets of them as there are duplicates a bit further down.
Try that and see if you see any better performance.

Second, try to run just on 1 GPU and not on SLI. ( a 680 can handle the game on ultra with PhysX off) also you will see if its a SLI bug or not.
I play on a Intel Core 2 Duo 3,4 GHz (clock), 8GB DDR3 Ram, and a 550Ti Overclocked Windforce Edition
40-50 FPS on High, but i play with Medium settings and every other fuzzy bunny turned off for the sake of Clusterfuks on the 24man servers

im speaking for all of our members and we noticed a huge Drop in Frames since the First Content Patch. Allot of High-End PCs that have an AMD/Intel i7 + ATI/GTX Cards have a huge Problem. We tryed to come up with a solution with no major success!
Instead of haveing a better gameplay it just does not come to were it was before the Patches.
We are still working on a solution to bypass this known issue but needs major research with different system Setups!
As soon as we figure something out we will contact HWK/MTR Staff ASAP.

Best regards
Eli. aka HotDog
