Just installed another GTX 460 in SLI - at last I can fly properly

That don't enable SLI..... COD don't have a SLI profile.

What are your nvdia control panel or inspector settings?

Sorry to jump in uninvited. Here's a SimHQ post I did Aug 25 with a SLI set up link I hope you find helpful:

Thanks for the link, Jimbop -- works great. Before my two cards were working at roughly 80%/20% -- now it's virtually 50/50.

SLI works well on my system, but, as we know, others on this forum are having nojoy with SLI. From what I've gathered from forum posts, ATI Crossfire is still pooched.

Re beta sounds: 109 sounds great on start up and in flight both external & in cockpit. Many also love the 109 flyby sound.

As your handle is "Hurricanedriver", I can only assume you're more interested in the Merlin engine sounds. My take is that the Merlin startup sound both external and in cockpit is very good. In flight engine sound is very good in-cockpit, poor external - although the Hurricane sounds marginally better externally than the Spitfire. Same applies for the flyby. The beta patch Merlin flyby is better than prepatch, but does not sound like a Merlin engine for either aircraft. Even Jafa's excellent sound mod was great for in cockpit and external inflight sound, but still retained the characteristic IL2 vacuum cleaner sound effect during flyby.

Guns: 109 cannon sound pretty good. Machine-guns on 109, Spits, and Hurries are very muted both in cockpit and externally.

The latest beta sounds are an improvement over pre-patch, but as noted above there is work remaining if accuracy in sound is the objective.

Just been doing a little benchmarking on my system, I'm running one 460 with a 2500k cpu and on mostly medium to high settings getting 40fps avarage 51 max 29 min close to the ground @ 1920x1080. I have another 460 arriving tommorow for some SLI goodness, can you tell me what fps you are getting now compared to your single 460 setup?
ps I'm talking beta patch figures, my performance has been improved noticably with the beta.

I recently upgraded my GTX 280 to a GTX 570.. But I did take pause and consider getting two GTX 460! The price is right.. but what with all the sli stuff going on and heat issues I chickend out and got the 570.. Maybe in six months Ill pick up a 2nd 570 when the price drops.. But for now I have all the settings set to max and the fps is good to go.. Only every so often will I see a pause/studder

I know what you mean there about power and heat issues. I was pretty reluctant to go with SLI, but I added a good quality power supply when I made up my new rig just in time for COD's release. The cards are a little too close for my liking to enable decent heat dissipation, but I reckon I have enough fans and ventilation (especially as I made sure I have tight cable grouping to help air flow) in the case anyway. There's actually a spare PCI-e slot free on my m/b, but I reckon 3 is just excessive, and I'd have to buy a much bigger p/s. I was kinda miffed that I had to lose my trusty Audigy card though, and go with onboard sound; there just wasn't room for it. Onboard sound is way better than it was a few years ago though.

I actually prefer one good videocard, but I only bought my first GTX460 a couple of months back, and I'd just don't feel like shelling out $AUS350+ for a better card when I paid $AUS220 for this one. Besides, I bought a twin GTX460 card off eBay for such a good price.
