Any SLI CoD users?

Some people said you should disable SLI, I have not but did not see any difference but I fly rather mediocre resolution of 1280x and I am happy with the fps I have so no reason to mess around with it too much right now while waiting for so many other things to get patched.
This is an original screenshot 3840x resolution, move sliders to the right to see the game


My usual resolution (IL2FB) is 3072x so I am not sure whether the two 570GTX will be able to cope with the load at decent frame rates (>40fps), probably not - probably yes (depending on the multi-core + graphics optimisations to come, too early to tell though) so I wait and see.
It is clear to me that in the next 12 months there will be GPUs out with twice the performance of the current 570GTX and then it will be the time to buy again a set (I tend to buy a new set of SLI-GPUs every 16months).
The other option I think of, is getting a third 570GTX one day (I have tri-SLI mobo), this might keep my current fps at three times the resolution at acceptable rate but too early to make theoretical assumptions of this depth....

Happy Flying!

Thanks.

yes, i have a SLI of 9800GTX+ (core 765 mhz ) dual core E7300, 4 GB ram, win 7


with the last patch the game it works more or less playable, in London it between 7 and 30 FPS, I usually play at 30 fps, and maps of the islands at 30 35, with low options

Hi, are you finding it playable because of SLI?

I'm aware of the general performance increasing patching since CoD came out, despite my sig I do have a very high spec rig and had CoD running fairly well even on day one, just keen to hear about any SLI performance gain before I commit to buying one more GTX 570 SC.

Thanks.

No he does not (because SLI is not working yet). It is the optimasitions of the code (multi-CPU support and unwanted graphics reduction options) that were made available with the latest patch that made the difference.

In theory you should see double te performance with SLI (new cards give between 80% - 100% improvement, especially when using very high resolutions).

But you can not do anything but wait to see the real results, probably it will take a month...

I have a SLI setup also. Currently SLI does not work properly. However i have been messing around with SLI and compatibility bits in NVIDIA inspector and i got it to work. The Screen was flickering andind fact its not playable BUT it doubled my framerate.
So i am certain once the next NVIDIA drivers come out that support CloD SLI will work and the performancegain will be huge!
I already ordered a 3rd GTX 480 so i have tripple SLI up and running once the driver comes out. I have a 30" display and am hoping to run the game maxxed out on 2560x1600 resolution.

Thanks guys, I'm confident enough now to go ahead and order a second GTX570 SC.

Did say that!?

small correction; It may come much faster
