Yes it appears that way Swiss, if its not known that dual cards make any difference to how the game performs then I would imagine that Cliff Of Dover falls into the the typically older generation applications.


"Applications which tax the GPU will see tremendous performance improvements of up to 2x with SLI technology when using two graphics cards. Most of today's hottest games and as well as next-generation games fall into this category. However, some applications, typically older generation applications, are limited by factors other than the GPU's processing power"

Not at all.

This is a simulation not a typical Call of Duty type game. It doesn't matter how "new" an application is if it has to calculate complex damage modelling instead of hit boxes/hit points, Flight modeling instead of up/down/left/right, Artificial Intelligence instead of scripted movements, and large sandbox maps instead of corridors.

Point being that, much like other newer sims like ArmA2, you can't expect the GPU to do all these calculations no matter how much you might wish it to much like you can't expect your shiny new 2000dpi mouse to make your game run any faster. It's the CPU's job, not Oleg's.

Feel free to pile on more AA + AF or screen resolution though and be happy for that.
