the game itself is not written in C++ but in .NET :( Interop is what happens when you go from managed to unmanaged code (speed tree's ,direct X...etc) which causes a performance hit.

here is a much more in depth explanation

From what I read the stutters are from badly/hastily coded software.
Not hardware issues. Correct?

Hi SKUD,

Interesting that you say that your precision tool shows both your cards working full bore, mine says the same. I have tried disabling one of my cards and that shows zero use on the V/mem on that, and the fps drops to about 60% of what I get with both cards working but the V/mem still shows near max use on the working card. I have my clocks and voltages set to the same for each card even though they are from different stables and the percentage of use on each card only varies about 2% from one card to the other, that also varies with one card using more, then the other. Temps on both cards are within about 2--3deg of each other with card 2 always slightly lower than card 1 (this is what information I get from the different makers, the EVGA slightly hotter running than the Asus) and both are within the 50--60deg range. I wonder if others using Sli are getting the same results, it would be interesting to find out.

sloppy coding just exacerbates the problem...but the interop is still there even with clean code and if you read the latest update Luther said "reduced" and "decreased" not fixed! as I understand it this is just the nature of the beast....interop makes a performance hit whether it be minor or major.

A robust rig will show less of the issue but it will still be there :(
