Still does not appear to be fully* working:

I think I may go back 280.19 too

Force alternate frame rendering. The reason I showed those nvidia settings was to show that particular piece of information. With AFR enabled 1 card does the odd frames while the other does the even (every other) Prior to this driver, with AFR on you'd have a flickery mess. Now you don't.

The game needs a driver to support SLI fully, I agree, but it is scaling much better than what your tests are showing. I'm almost getting an 70-80% increase in performance across the board (FPS wise). I turn off AFR, and it's as if I'm running on one card.

Try it and report back.

Edit: just logged with MSI found that with AFR1 enabled both cards stay around 70%. So there is some gain there, but obviously not scaling like it should.

The only way to play without stuttering is disable sli...with or without afr1.
Still stuttering with your settings, Bliss...or with a proper nvidia Inspector profile.
The game with 280 driver is faster but still stuttering with sli enabled...

Nvidia knows about that:

patch needed! :roll:

I don't have any stuttering with SLI enabled. That's the only way I've been playing since I put the second card in. But now that I can use AFR without flickering, I get a huge boost in FPS as well.

I lose an average of 10 FPS in the black death track going from SLI AFR 1 to no SLI

(2 x 580 GTX 3gb)

It certainly does for me, made a profile for "Launcher" and whatever I change in the cp has the desired effect in game/in flight.

100 fps with 2x580GTXs is quite sad, don't you think?
I think we don't need a gtx680 quad-sli...I think we all need a little graphic patch ;-)

Oh I agree with you :)

I'm just glad that with this driver release, I can finally have some sort of performance increase in SLI without a flickery mess. A patch is most definitely needed!

I don't think it is sad at all... Remember SLI only gives you real increases in performance at high resolution, somewhat at 1920x1080 but major at 2600x whatever...

This game is very hard on the gpu, 100 fps is very very good, crysis (the original) still doesn't run at 100 fps on any equipment and it is 5 years old.

Here are some benchmarks, the numbers are in frames per second http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/2...iast,2668.html

pick your card out of the list and see where you stand in today's tech. Everytime I upgrade the first thing I do is see where the cards fall...

I'm using the 280.28 available for developers, manly add OpenGL 4.2 support (it was out the same day Kronos released OGL 4.2 spec!) but I don't know if "regular" user can download it too.
It seems there's not yet an official SLI profile

Well SLI split screen doesnt work for COD I believe, the alternative and what ROF uses is the AFR but they have had problems with it due to calculating light passing through clouds or smoke and it can lead to choppyness while playing apparently. That being said they are running a dx9 engine which sucks for SLI (most sli use/optimization is from the last 3-5 years while dx9 foundation is alot older).

Wonder if the new COD engine will work better with it? I hope they just completely cut dx9 altogether because no one is on those cards anyway.
