Here is one way:

This is a better way:

nVidia Control Panel -> 3D Settings -> Program Settings ->  Add (PvZ) ->  Change SLI to single

(( By default this is off if you have 2x, 3x, 4x GPUs... so I'm curious if you have this issue ))

(( I am not sure how it defaults if you have a double GPU - single card like a 690 for example ))

      In reference to?  Crossfire?

      Crossfire should work with latest beta drivers in this game.  If not you can disable it through Catalyst.  If you can't get it disabled, RadeonPro can likely disable it.

      If you still cannot get it disabled using Borderless mode should disable it.

      Do you have two graphics cards in SLI?  SLI is when you have two GPUs that work together.  It's nVidia's word for it, AMD's word for it is Crossfire.

      SLI is 2 (or more) graphics cards.

      Do you have 2 graphics cards?   Some cards (high end expensive ones) sometimes are 2 cards sandwiched together on one card (example 690)

      Example for SLI with 2 cards:

      .

       

      This is what the Control Panel looks like for a 690 (single card, double GPU onboard)

      This is what it looks like when you have 2 independant cards  (basically the same, wording is a tad different)

      You can also disable SLI by Render Mode by using Advanced Program 3D Settings (PvZ.exe) instead of disabling it completely...

      Set it to Single GPU   not nVidia Preferred, mode1/2
