No I haven't been asking since 2009, i raised the question in 2009. I was giving you a history of SLI events, but im sure you knew that.

Ataros,
All is not lost. I'm getting about double the fps with Sli as i'm getting with a single card. Those of us that are trying, are getting it to work reasonably well under the current situation. Most of my settings are on high with about 2 on medium working with 2xgts450's which most would laugh at with this sim, but for me it's working. I'm happy at getting 40--60fps with London Attack single player with Sli (only 25---34 with a single card working), over water around 80---90fps Sli. I'm waiting to see what happens with the new graphics patch and the quoted 50% approx improvement in fps. My biggest problem at the moment seems to be with the 1gig V/ram, my indications are that with CoD it is running at max, don't know what others are finding.

Why are so many people here talking about an increase of 50%?
When the devs are talking about the patch that nearly doubles the fps, actually its an increase of 100% or near to that :D

We are talking about total numbers here! There would be even the mathematical possibility to get an increase of 200%, believe it or not ;-)

What is the deal with SLI...does it not give any improvement at all?

I ask because I am planning a 2nd 3 Gig 580 GTX so that I can run a 3rd monitor for work.

Are there any negative implications running SLI?

SLI and AA will not be fixed in first beta.

Thanks so much for the quick answer.

That's a 100% increase...

But that is what we are talking about here, a 100% increase in FPS...your mileage may vary.

Thanks Blacksix, thats good news if the fix is coming at least in a follow up patch.

JG5 emil,

Sli does give improvement with CoD. It approx doubles my frame rate as with single card. You just need to try things. See my reply further back in this subject: -

perhaps a naivity on the various developers' part, in having file names entitled the same, but is more a childish balls up by nVidia in not having a profile system which doesn't follow the path to the required program's exe, when adding a custom profile
