Force alternate frame rendering. The reason I showed those nvidia settings was to show that particular piece of information. With AFR enabled 1 card does the odd frames while the other does the even (every other) Prior to this driver, with AFR on you'd have a flickery mess. Now you don't.

The game needs a driver to support SLI fully, I agree, but it is scaling much better than what your tests are showing. I'm almost getting an 70-80% increase in performance across the board (FPS wise). I turn off AFR, and it's as if I'm running on one card.

Try it and report back.

Edit: just logged with MSI found that with AFR1 enabled both cards stay around 70%. So there is some gain there, but obviously not scaling like it should.
