Sorry r0bc, just remembered seeing this after making my post above. Great minds think alike!

Hurricanedriver, sticking in a 2nd video card, connecting the SLI connector, then simply clicking on "enable SLI" in the Nvidia Control Panel won't get you there with CoD, unfortunately. It SHOULD -- but it won't. Take r0bc's suggestion and download the Precision EVGA monitoring utility. It's free, installs easily, and instantly tells you what your cards are doing performance-wise and temperature-wise. Otherwise, you're tuning up a car with no tachometer!

Next, download Nvidia Inspector (another free utility, bless 'em all). This will tweak the SLI settings for "launcher.exe" (which just happens to be the executable file that launches Cliffs of Dover via Steam). With the tweaks done in Nvidia Inspector the two video cards you've spent the big bucks on will start doing what they're supposed to: split the workload for increased overall performance!

You've come this far: finish the race!

A sign of activity isn't a sign of good functioning.
So stop saying "it's working! it's working!" because SLI at the moment work in an awful way, like a car out of gear at 10 000 rpm.
At the moment everybody should disable sli, because sli gives you few more fps with a consumption of about 300w, which is an insult to the planet earth.
Nvidia, 1c and devs will never fix it and all of you saying that sli is working help them hiding their head in the sand.
We all know how to enable sli and look at its uselessness.

Your English is fine. Your reasoning is not. The devs have no interest whatsoever in Snapper helping a fellow member maximize the performance of his video cards in SLI mode. The devs will do what they do, regardless.

Proof? Jafa came out with some excellent sound mods months ago.....but still the devs worked on improving the sounds anyway. I just wish they had consulted Jafa.

As I've already stated in this thread which you've decided to ignore, the devs at 1C and Nvidia can undoubtedly come up with a superior SLI Profile to the stopgap Custom Profile myself and others are suggesting. To even suggest the devs will not release a CoD specific profile because of a stopgap measure is ridiculous. You're telling (ordering?) fellow forum members to stop trying to get their expensive video cards to work better because the devs think we've done their work for them????

The "repeat, please" statement comes from the movie "Battle of Britain", produced in 1969. You should watch it. A squadron of Polish pilots were ordered to change course by their British flight leader because of their non-operational status in the presence of the enemy. As with your ridiculous "order" to stop trying to make SLI work better, the Polish pilots opted to disregard the likewise-ridiculous order to avoid combat by saying "repeat, please" as they successfully engaged the Luftwaffe bombers below. Similarly, I choose to ignore your dictate to us to sit on our hands and will continue to try and help fellow forum members to run their systems better.

Is that clear enough for you?

I don't care about what you or devs have interest to do, I care about lies that you and devs say to the community.
Can we enable sli? Yes, true.
Is cod SLI compatible, SLI optimized? No, false.
Do we really have to wait that somebody of Nvidia add a profile, as devs said? No, false, Nvidia said that can't do this with an incompatibile-full of bugs game like cod.
Is just a member with this problem? No, false, take a look to the sli profile request thread.

I don't know the meaning of the words "ignore" and "ordering" but maybe I forgot the word "please" before the words "stop saying...".
Ridiculous are lies, not questions.
Ridiculous is waste time playing with colours on an old graphic engine full of bugs and unable to manage a simple SLI rig.

I saw that film, you should know how many truths we ignore, just because a fellow "have the interest" that you ignore.
Here you are, attached just for you, an example from my collection: an unseen and never published original drawing of the WWII, by one of the greatest airplane's designer of the world.

Sure!
I help, I'm helping and have always helped people in need, devs too.
But I hate lies...don't you Snapper?
Bye

Cataplasma, calling a man a liar is a serious thing - whatever the language. I suggest you cool off a bit.

What specific tweaks are you talking about? I have 2 460s and nothing worked for me in Inspector because the developers broke support and stated this fact in April. Can you unbreak support for SLI? I don't know...doesnt sound like you could

All I know is I have 2 460s and Im a huge tweaker/optimizer. SLI is not working to potential. (although I get better results with it enabled, my second card is only at 10% using MSI afterburner to monitor )

getting 35-45 fps and am pretty happy after the new patch

Thanks for the info - had a week of long hours at work and haven't had the opportunity for doing much else! Taken your advice and grabbed both utilities. In Nvidia Inspector how do I tweak the SLI settings for the COD launcher? I don't see any tabs in NI to do that....
