Setting up Sli

AMD Phenom2 965 x 4 3.4gig
8gig DDR3 Ram
2x GTS 450 Sli (1gig each)
1Tb HDD Partitioned x 5
700w Coolermaster single rail P/S 52a
19" Samsung 931BW monitor
1280 x 960 Resolution

Here is what is happening for me with Sli disabled and enabled running "London Attack" single player track.

Sli disabled: - 30----33 fps (still some micro stutters)

Sli enabled: - 53---56 fps (still some micro stutters)

Load on the graphics cards is about 70% running Sli, about 90% Sli disabled.

Using tracks over the channel I'm am getting fps 90--100 (Sli)

Both cards are running with temps of around 58---59deg

This is with graphics cards that most would consider un-useable with COD. So I personally think Sli is a good option but you must want it to work and it takes a bit of patience to set it up.
There are a lot of games that support Sli and more are being added all the time, I'm sure that the developers will get their Sli support fixed finally.

Cheers

still in its infancy , yes i agree sure they will fix it soon enough, but for greater performance for everyone, my point being the introduction of extra cpu threads, but this involves rewriting code. which should have been taken into account from day one.
