SLi now working. some minor issues
 
Overall, thanks. Game works with SLI on.

2 issues to report,

1. Game resolution must match desktop resolution.

2. Load allocation is uneven, gpu1 loads to 99% before gpu2 kicks in. I'm not sure if this is how SLI is suposed to allocate resources? But see my image below

3. Vsync does not appear to work. I'm getting massive frame tearing. (2 x 570 GPUs)

The second card is just going to idle untill we get a working SLI profile

For me no more CTD, but I have worse stuttering than before. FPS down slightly but both cards are working evenly.

Card temp's running at about 55deg + or - 2deg (Asus card running cooler than the EVGA, always has) percentage of use about 65--70% both cards (this appears to be up slightly) but I certainly have Sli operating again (EVGA precision tool readings).

No frame tearing for me ( not noticable anyway).

Trialed with single player London Attack (45---85fps depending on action, this is about what I was getting before).

Still using my Nvidia Inspector profile which until we have official support seems to be ok for me.

agree Pstyle: I experience the same. SLI works anfd gives performance but tearing is unacceptable. Lets hope for a working profile from Nvidia soon.

I'm getting better frame-rates with SLI disabled.
Improvement is about 10-15 fps.

The game works with SLI, but it's currently better for me with it turned off.

agreed. hopefully a profile will finally fix it for all of us.

try with a massive windows update...worked for my rig (win7 and sli). Also try the latest versions of microsoft visual c++ (2008?2010?)...
good luck

edit: and try repeating the update searching procedure many times after every update install 'till it can't find no more updates avaible...
edit: No fps increase with SLI enabled, a little decrease (3-6fps) but no more stuttering, the game seems smoother to my eyes...It seems to me that the same amount of information once handled by a single gpu is now shared
edit: An evident fps increase with AFR or AFR2 enabled (10-20fps) but a huge amount of stuttering coming out, specially with the AFR mode on...
SLI IS STILL DEFECTIVE

Or maybe try balancing on your head a rotating counter clockwise while drinking a glass of milk.
Seriously though what we really need is a good sli profile

Btw, afr and afr2 should produce microstutters by its nature and should be unuseful for newer games, as far as I am informed. The dynamic texturing methods and various effects should make afr amd afr2 obsolete, because it works different and is not really compatible to some graphics featires (e.g. volumetric clouds, dust...).

I think, that this is, why you get the stutters. It could reduce in this mode, if you experiment with switching off some features (which is not intended by you anyways, I think). ;)

Would be interesting to compare generally a performance increase with the same settings, and not switching to higher resolution or more graphic details. Otherwise this sli is like I already mentioned. More fps, but more problems... :)

I can live with my 50-70 fps average on my unboosted card ;)

yes, we need a good sli profile.
Updating Win7 I solved the stutter problems using a default NVIDIA SLI profile (no AFR on NVinspector).As I've written....no need for other comments.
