The GTX 590 and HD6990 are just SLI/Crossfire on a stick. In other words they are two GTX580s or two HD6970s respectively. They have all the same issues as SLI or Crossfire setups. They are not a magic solution to the multi lack of multi GPU support in CoD.

I have 2X HD6970s running an eyefinity setup, with CoD eyefinity is not an option right now and won't be until (if) a patch comes out, even at the lowest settings the stutter and pauses are massive. The only solution for me is to run single monitor where the performance is OK for sight seeing and just about acceptable for combat against a handfull of aircraft.

This sim/game needs a lot of work to optimise the performance to take advantage of dual GPU and multi screen setups. It is hailed as being future proofed but doesn't even support the best tech we have available now, how can it possibly be future proofed if this is the case?

Rise of flight, FSX, DCS A10C also do not support multi GPU, not one single sim released in the past fews years supports multi GPU. At least these other sims run very well with one single HD6970, even with eyefinity. I can play all three at full detail (or close to it) at very good FPS.

For me the lack of multi GPU support, lack of ability to run eyefinity and lack of support for force feedback has forced me to accept that CoD may not be a sim I use for the forseable future. It simply needs far to much work to make it usable. As someone put it in a another thread, you can't play potential.
