Arconis 2020 kills FPS under SLI
Don't know why and now I don't really care. I will be staying far away from Arconis.
Mid Jan I updated to Arcnois 2020. After that it killed my gaming FPS in BFV with SLI enabled.
I did not know the reason then.
Today I did a fresh windows install and setup again to run BFV - 120+ FPS in SLI (2x1080ti + 7900x).
Next installed Arconis 2020 to get all my stuff back from backups. And BFV goes down to 70 FPS after install.
Un-intsalled Arconis, and FPS back to 120+. 100% correct. Did not install any other software in between. Arconis is the culprit.
Now we may ask, why the heck does a backup software interfere with SLI GPUs. I DO NOT CARE NOW. THIS IS A WARNING to anyone with SLI.
Note: This post in no way reflects my extreme anger at this situation.

At the moment, I am not sure I want install Arconis back and check. Lets see.
And I only realized now that my older Arcnois 2016 did not have this active protection service.

It's possible to completely disable Active Protection as well. Granted, you lose the ransomeware protection and automated protection of True Image backup files, but if you don't need or want it, it can be disabled in the application, or by stopping the AAP service in Windows services and setting it to disabled so it doesn't start up again. Might be worth a test if you do decide to give it a try again.
