I bought 2 x GTX570s in SLI mode. Worked out of the box right away.. On games that actually support SLI (skyrim for one) it's bloody great.

Go ahead any fly decisive aerial battles in English channel in year 1940 with Skyrim.

I know most of the major titles in gaming support SLI/Crossfire but strangely several hardcore simulation games doesn't. I suppose it's because sims are quite niche market and the developer companies are very small or limited and they can't affort to program support those dual/trio GPU cards (or does not use ready made gaming enigne which could support out of the box).

edit: Byt the way, I love Skyrim

Just waste to use sli, sorry! It seems, that you are really thinking that sli will improve clod performance by far? I say: U only get a big performance increase with sli in clod, if you already have highend cards and start multiple display setups. A sli with mid range cards woulf only help under the circumstance, that your mid range card has 3 gb ram on every card. Otherwise, the tree rendering or other things wouldn't improve that much.

Be aware, that as soon as your card is running out of memory, clod will run insufficient.

I do not know, why some users really think, that sli is good!?! The currently used technique is insufficient until they rethink this whole sli thing and give us a new sli.

Simply dumb to talk about that technology in that state. Never think about sli as a cheap upgrade to get more power. It is just for a small part of the com, who spend a lot of money to max out to the highest possible.

Skyrim is for sure a good game but not comparable. Skyrim for me is casual gaming and the engine is optimized to work for consoles as well. So the load , the memory usage has to be low. Ps3 nearly has no memory. So, all this games never reach the memory usage of a pc sim game. ->That is, why u can really increase performance in skyrim, but not in clod (only with the explained hardware, which is not mid-range in most cases).
