Apology accepted, thank you. Although I disagree with your position on SLI in CoD, out of respect for your request I will cease posting in this forum on this topic.
Here's a quick video I took to demonstrate why I believe my two video cards are indeed working together in SLI. I didn't know how to do a screen capture of two screens simultaneously, so I simply used my little GoPro video cam. The colours look awful, but it was the Precision EVGA graphs of GPU1 and GPU2 that I wanted to show while CoD was actually running. http://vimeo.com/28902570 The EVGA monitor shows neither card doing very much until I click on "FLY" -- then they both shoot up in usage to 45% - 55% each. I believe my CPU is the bottleneck - it's 3 years old and runs at only the factory-set 2.67 MHz. I'd love to over clock it to, say, 3.5 but Gateway has locked out the BIOS. I believe that if the CPU had more grunt the two video cards would both be working at a higher percentage -- perhaps resulting in a constant 60 fps (with Vsync turned "ON"). The video also shows all my settings are "HIGH" with everything checked except the anti-epilepsy filter and SSAO. There's a fair graphic load while CoD runs yet I am getting 45 - 60 fps (Vsync is "ON") and little-to-no stuttering. Prior to this latest beta patch I was getting some annoying flickering of the water when flying over the channel, but the beta patch eliminated this flickering completely. Anyways, the sim runs great for me, although there's always room for improvement. No harm, no foul. I'm had my say, I'm done!

In conclusion, SLI is still broken for users with 460s because the develpers broke it back in April and haven't fixed it yet.

look at me Snapper
Snapper, listen to me.
My sli setup works better than your. 1920x1080px 120HZ with very high settings and a single gtx 470 run quite smooth (50-60 fps). Then I enable sli, I can see sli working (very bad, like you) on my monitoring software, and a lot of stuttering makes me angry because I can see a little fps increase but all that stuttering makes my game unplayble, nooOOOO...BUT just with this settings! I have no stuttering problem with your resolution and settings with sli enabled, because sli with that resolution and settings is useless...right?! Snapper can you hear me!? SLI is not working properly! Snapper!SNAPPER!

I'll switch back over to my 2nd monitor which gives me 1920 x 1080 res (at 60 Hz though) and take another look. In the recent past I've run CoD on this second monitor in SLI mode and was pleased with how well it ran, too. The only setting I have turned down as you can see is "textures" -set to "high" instead of "original".
As I've mentioned earlier, CoD runs very well for me in SLI mode with little-to-no stuttering. I believe it could run even better if 1C released a SLI profile specifically tuned to Cliffs of Dover.

 I was planning to do it last night (it only takes a minute or two to switch monitor assignments in the Nvidia Control Panel). Instead, I had the brilliant idea to first try the beta 285.27 driver and completely mucked up my PC. (I've whined about it on another thread). By the time Windows Restore & Disk Repair put things right, it was quite late so I just did a quick check with CoD on the lower res monitor, restarted my heart, and shut her down. Hopefully tonight I can give it a try when I'm back at my PC. Will keep you posted.
