last comment from luthier In May; Added ATI Crossfire support. NVidia SLI support will become available when a profile for the game is added in an upcoming official driver release;

The simplest way to know if your SLI is working is to create a new profile, point the profile to your CLOD launcher then stick some FSAA on and then activate the SLI slider, this will tell you if your game supports SLI, i would suggest using a basic SFR (split frame rendering) for starters. When I last did this there was nothing it simply didn't work.

I did try it with a profile for another game (BFBC2) and SLI DOES WORK.
It just creates too many artifacts and texture flashes. So I'll wait until they actually make a profile for CLOD and optimize it for SLI.

Bingo Jaws. I went from 45-70 FPS to 80-120 FPS with SLI on, but the flashing was unbearable.

Heres what I did so far in order:

(1) updated to 280.19 nvidia driver
(2) I swapped out the nv_disp.inf file with the one linked
(3) Used Invidia Inspector to change
(a) SLI compatibility bits (DX10): 0x000000F5
(b) NVIDIA predefined SLI mode on DirectX 10: SLI_PREREFINED_MODE_DX10_FORCE_AFR

I hope changing the nv_disp.inf was correct. Wasn't sure if that was necessary with this beta driver also. Please let me know if you see anything wrong or if I can tweak something. I'll repost if I have any better results

Thanks again for getting this working for me

Well I think that tells you that it certainly doesn't work, its the coding of the game thats the issue rather than the driver.
