280.26 WHQL NVIDIA Drivers

What doesn't seem to work is the AA settings, I would be happy to be able to switch off in-game AA and use the other card for AA..

SLI GTX 460 1GB with 280.26 drivers.

Yes, you can get SLI to work, but any other option in the CP does nothing.

That's interesting, because thought I read that devs admit they broke SLI support in the last patch.

If you read carefully, what spiritdmp said was you can get SLI to work, but it doesn't work. hahaha

Yes CoD seems to have performance dependent more on the GPU than CPU, but it shouldn't be forgotten that Crysis is just another dumb FPS, while CoD is a sim requiring far more complex interactions between a more highly-loaded CPU and GPU etc.

Yes SLI definitely works with 280.26 drivers
BUT...
SLI in AFR1= 59-60fps and constant stutters
SLI disabled =45fps when low enough to see grass, 59-60 fps the rest of the time.

This is strange ...
I just disabled SLI in Nvidia control panel and ran the last quick mission.
It ran like dog shit. 35fps with micro stutter flying low over the ground.

Enabled SLI in CP ...BUT left the launcher 3d options SLI rendering mode set on "Nvidia recommended"
Ran the same mission and it ran perfectly 45-60 fps no stutter.
The 1 card was 100% and 2 card was 10% but both cards have core, shader clocks and memory graphing high.

For some reason it runs better with SLI generically turned on but then "launcher" set to Nvidia recommended.

That is strange. BTW SLI does not use the memory from both cards, only one so it would show 100% of one card. So what you are seeing is one card being used the other 10% or not being used. In effect, no SLI.

Yep, I use the same exact settings here. SLI enabled w/280.19 and I'm getting similar quality results. But it is showing that its not really working to its potential. I show around 10% as well using msi afterburner to monitor.

For me, 280.26 increased this number, but made the game unplayable with stutters.

For now, I'm happy with how the game is playing with 280.19, SLI "enabled" with second card at ~10%....cant wait to see what it runs like when they fix it!

A-10 Warthog is not a dumb fps game and it is more complex than CloD. It looks great and runs great. No more excuses for broken CloD please. BTW, when A-10 was in beta it ran like CloD but was a better sim with less broken.

Not making excuses for CloD, just saying that Crysis isn't necessarily a great basis for comparison, but your example of A-10 definitely is.
