If it was part of this one the patchnotes should read "SLI AND Crossfire support" not just "Crossfire Beta support".
Also some information on wich driver version they used to test SLI and wich Rendering mode gave the best results (SFR, AFR, AFR2 and so on) would be nice as well.

Im the one that tests with gonk, for SLI you have to go into control panel and under "Manage 3D settings" select "Program Settings" tab. Add the launcher.exe to make a profile for COD found in "Steam\SteamApps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\launcher.exe".

Down the feature list for "SLI rendering mode" select "Force alternate frame rendering 1". I also enable Vsync in the game so its a good idea to enable Triple buffering as well.

The reason SLI is not enabled by default is because the launcher.exe is set to single card by default by the devs for the purpose of making the game compatible for non beta users.

For the benchmark I had these game settings:
4x AA although it doesn't look like it works properly.
SSAO on
Vsync off
Anti hetro filter off
Everything else on maximum except building amount on medium. =58fps average on the black death.

This beta enabling SLI is all dandy if you only play single player but I only play multiplayer.... My fps in multi is still very high but there is some strange shit going on that makes it unplayable..
