Sorry He111,

There has been no further development with Sli from the team as yet so far as I can find out, BlackSix seems to be avoiding the questions that I have put to him. Lutier stated back in April 2011 that Sli would be their next big priority, this is a quote from him about 17 months ago: -

5. Resurrecting SLI support. This is our next biggest priority; it’s done by the same programmer now in final stages of optimizing buildings. We are really hoping this will be a quick task, but I don’t have an ETA at this point. It’ll either be a couple of days, or a much longer undetermined amount of time if we have to submit versions to card manufacturers and ask for their input.

The delay may be because of trouble they are having getting the graphics engine to perfom as they want, but no one wants to talk about it it seems.

I use Nvidia Inspector and have not found any spam software that you mention. My Sli system as you will see from my sig is far below your system but I'm getting good frame rates with it (nearly double that of one of my cards running with Sli turned off). I am only an off line player so can't comment for online performance. Try single player mission, London Attack and let me know what fps you are getting, with your 580's you should have fps at least 80fps with Sli with High settings on. You can make your own settings with control panel pointing it to the C.o.D exe file. I continue to try different things to see if I can improve the performance (especially the micro stutters that I'm getting but I even have those running just one card so can't put it down to Sli as some would suggest). Certainly the sim is very playable for me, try Nvidia Inspector along with EVGA Precision Tool. What are your system specs?.

Edit: - Opps sorry just noticed your sig with specs, I see that your m/b is 2x 16 pci-e similar to mine except my m/b is Amd. Check and make sure you have the Sli link seated correctly, if it isn't you won't get Sli performance. Are both the cards running at the same temps and usage?(within 2--5 deg temp and 5% usage, the peak usage will change from one card to the other depending on demand). If you have one of your cards running on idle there is something wrong with the setup.
