Of course I do, you enable physics within the driver, you can select one card to handle this alone. However most modern titles such as Call Of Duty Worl at war allow you to select dual cards within the setup without having to go into the driver, for SLI that is. You may not choose to use this option because you may want to use one card to handle the physics, but the option is within the game non the less.

As said on SimHQ, look up r_gpusync. You really don't know what you're talking about.

I leave at the default, but it is available.
You can only select which cpu core you want it to run on. Big deal.

your not listening to what Im saying novotny, you said over at simhg, that no games have an option to select dual cards within the setup. Well some games do.

And you implied without that that misterious option, SLI is unvailable.

No i didnt re-read my earlier post (below) I stated that you will be able to use the driver software or third party software such as nHancer (nvidia only) to setup SLI, just like you could in Il2 which showed a performance increase with dual cards. However what we dont know is what the benefit of this will be in 'Cliffs of dover' because like luthier as stated they dont know whether this will show a performance increase.

However you could force SLI through the driver or 3rd party programs such as nHancer which did increase performance, it seems this may be the same for Cliffs of Dover, however we currently have no idea if it will increase perforamce. Worth noting though for anyone about to splash out on two high end GPU cards.

Currently Rise of Flight does not support multi gpu setups, and it is something that the developers need to do and they already stated that way, they are working on it.I just dont want this to happen with Cliffs of Dover. But there's no need to create an endless discussion about this, we asked, Luthier already said something, now we wait and see.And having a cpu intensive game in no way means that adding a second gpu wont increase performance, obviously it wont be a 80-100% increase as in other games but something like a 30-50% increase should happen.Then again we just need to wait, I am just happy that the game is coming out and I dont even know how its gonna run to begin with,so no more complaints from me concerning this.

I'll wait the release.I need to know if we will have any gains(noticeable gains,in fact)
AND if COD deals OK with SLI without microstutters to justify the extra expense with another GTX 580.

So I'm confussed....do the developers write their game code to take advantage of SLI/Crossfire or does the GPU company write drivers to enhance each particular game to run with multi/gpus. Or do the developer and graphics companies work together on this. We know that the COD developer had contact with Nvidia, but not AMD.

I find Luthier's statements provide very little insight to this question. It certainly sounds like his evasive answer suggests there will be no advantage to using SLI or Crossfire.
