2 GPUs. Will dgvoodoo2 use both?

Hello,

Is it possible that dgvoodoo2 will take advantage of 2 GPU's and use them on same game? For example, if I have (2) RTX 3080 Ti. Given the description to "use / enable" and "all of them" being an option, it seems obvious that it would, but also a little too good to be true. Seeing how these cards can't be bridged. Yet if dgvoodoo2 can use both cards simultaneously on one application it is effectively bridging them. At least for older games.

I don't have a 2nd card but am considering buying a used one from a friend if this is possible. Otherwise I would have tested it already to see.

My goal is to increase performance while using antialiasing. Right now I have it turned off because of the hit to FPS but would like to have it on.

It can only use one card at a time AFAIK.
But what older game are you trying to play that doesn't run well with anti-aliasing on a 3080?? And what framerates are you expecting?
That card should easily handle any game made before Crysis with high anti-aliasing.

Final Fantasy 11. Unfortunately with AA on the frames will drop quite a bit in busy areas. Without AA it's pretty much always capped at 60 fps except in busy areas with lots of spells or animations going on it will drop to 45. With AA it goes much lower to the 20's or 30's during lots of in game activity. I have read that FFXI is more CPU dependent than GPU dependent so maybe that is why the 3080 doesn't help much.

I do use anisotropic filtering X16 when trying the antialiasing so I will try anisotropic filtering X4 and antialiasing to see if I can gain some performance.
