SLI finally.....profile still needs so tweaking but it'll only get better from here on

Are you actually getting better performance with this bypass or is it only enabling you to run the game with SLI enabled? Please post your video card and driver. I tried both the original profile and the one you recommended, but still one gpu has 0% load. I'm guessing this NVIDIA Profiles.txt file has to be in the il-2 game directory?

R0bc's tip did the trick for me. I have both cards now running between 80 and 90% at the same time with Vsync off. With Vsync on I only get around 50% on both cards. Performance is not that much better then with one gtx680. Temps are 10-20 degrees c lower then single card so that's good. If you have two cards, use them but I would not run out and buy an extra gpu for this game alone. I'll do a bit more testing.

Bug with Spit 1a 100 octane- only gets to about 10,000 feet and then will just stutter and cough.

I'm using 306.97 and I'm getting 80% plus GPU usage on both cards.
I changed the profile name to but that shouldn't make a difference.
This is exactly what I have now. Just don't forget to save your text doc before you import back.
Goodluck

i dont get what im doing wrong- its just not working for me.

1)I open Geforce 3D Settings Profile Manager
2) EXPORT SLI PROFILES
3) SAVE THIS FILE TO MY GAME DIRECTORY (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover)
4) Edit this file just as you/devs recommend and add the lines
5) Save this text document and close it
6) Import SLI profiles through Geforce 3D Settings Profile Manager and select the file i just created in my game directory (NVIDIA Profiles)

still one card at 0% usage..this is how mine looks like:

Profile "./helicopter/helicopter"
ShowOn GeForce

This does nothing for me expect add the CLOD in the sli profile list, doing this still does not turn it on if you select "Global setting (Nvidia recommended )".

I have other SLI games and they have the option "Nividia recommended (SLI)" as an option.

So it still operates as before... smoother on one card....

Selecting "Force alternate frame rendering 1" induces some horrendous stuttering.... with vsynch on or off...

selecting "Force alternate frame rendering 2" increases frame rate but micro stutters are present. .... with vsynch on or off...

Leaving it on one card it is smooth... frames are slightly down but smooth...mirror still causes massive load increase on any of the above settings.

I am running 2 x GTX680's.... god help ppl who are not lucky enough to afford such luxury...

Read the very first post in this thread.
As long as SLI is enabled in the control panel you don't need to touch control panel....don't force anything.

If you don't want to wait for official Nvidia SLI patch you can follow directions in the first post... if it don't work replace the third step with this profile.

Profile "IL-2 STURMOVIK: CLIFFS OF DOVER"
ShowOn GeForce
ProfileType Application
Executable "launcher.exe"
Setting ID_0x00a06946 = 0x000240f5
Setting ID_0x1033cec1 = 0x00000001
Setting ID_0x1033cec2 = 0x00000002
Setting ID_0x1033dcd2 = 0x00000004
Setting ID_0x1033dcd3 = 0x00000004
Setting ID_0x1095def8 = 0x00000004
EndProfile


It works and If it don't work, your doing something wrong...wait for the official patch.

Forget about this, you don't need to touch anything in control panel

I did everything right and it does not work for me...those instructions on manually setting the SLI profile are VERY EASY....im not computer illiterate and been editing many config/txt files for years....THIS SIMPLY DOES NOT WORK FOR ME....
