If people start seeing significant improvement in COD using SLI/Xfire , I would certainly add the second card. Although the sim runs fine on a single gpu, except for some stutters at treetop level over London. Again if the second gpu got rid of those stutters, and improved performance I couldn't buy the second gpu quick enough.

P.S: GTX590 Dont know if it works in SLI mode.

So does this from Luthier's post mean that SLI is fixed for the next patch or not? Doesn't specifically say SLI, just NVIDIA:

"2) Will the next patch be fully NVidia certified, and will it have Crossfire support?
NVidia – definitely. CF – still TBD."

We will have to wait and see. Nvidia has been in talks with with the COD developers for sometime, but I can only assume the final "Graphic/Performance/Stability Patch we are still waiting for has delayed some of Nvidia's support or fine tuning. Oleg or Luthier mentioned that AMD did not return their request for support, but this was quite sometime ago and things could have changed.

Only if you want to play in multiple monitor setup with setting on high or even very high!

I have a setup like this and in almost any game, it can really achiev good results! Even in CoD I can fly over London with average 33 fps in 5760x1080..... with all settings full.

With the new patch I have no crashes after 1 hour of continious game and no noticeable stutters.....

Not comparable of course with the 250 average on il2 1946 but you can't have it all ;)

Overal it is very good!

But the GPUs rock in BF3 and ARMAII in 5760x1080 and the games are so smooth that you're forgetting that you're playing in such a big screen.

Tx very much for your answer Dedalos.
What I don´t know is: Do the two cores of a single GPU GTX590 work like in SLI? or is workin only one core?
But is very good to know that in a future I can add one more GPU and have very good frames.

It is a quadSLI so all the cores are working in a SLI mode. It is like having 4 gtx580 in SLI but a little downgraded unfortunatly. Each core controls 1.5g of RAM.

I recomend if you you want to have a QSLI to by a hydrosystem to cool them so you could overclock them to real GTX580 or even more. I am thinking to do so in the near future.

Otherwise you will have real big noise from the fan system and you cannot of course overclock them as if you do, so you will probable burn the cards......:sad:

But be aware:
1. I have combined the cards with a i7 X980 and 12g of RAM. So the results that I am getting from the benchmarks and games are more than good, always in triple monitor setup.
2. I don't know you system specs so I suppose that you have one and you want to buy a second one. For my point of view do it only if you intend to play the game in a triple monitor. When you play a game in a single monitor even in a resolution 2560x1440 one card it is enough to do the job (even more than enough). QSLI in fulHD and hiRES resolutions has no big diference from a dualSLI

No its not in SLI in COD, you need the patch just like a two card setup.

Covert_Death 09-24-2012 04:47 AM

to add my two cents, I had GTX 460 SLI setup but got so frustrated with lack of SLI support and poor performance that i bought a GTX 670 to replace them... I would love to have the option of adding a second 670 sometime down the road instead of having to replace a perfectly good card for marginal performance boost simply because a game doesn't have working implementation of a genuinely NICE feature to have.......

Each core has 1.5 gb but u will only have 1.5 gb overall and not 1% more, still to few vram to run sufficient.

So it is everything, but not 4 cards running slightly on lowrr performance. They are tunning at very low performance. And the expensive ddr5 vram is just wasted, not having any influence. Expensive way. It is like buying another 100gb ddr3 ram just to look good, but with no benefit. Sorry, but do not say, that sli only has small downgrade effect on the cards. It has a very big one!!!!!
