They finally introduced SLI patch,holy hell that took forever,
It's really becoming a trend companies keep ignoring for a while "enthusiast" level players that run 2+ video cards,in my case it was 3x.
SLI should be working since day one ,the same fiasco happaned with Deus EX MD .
I will test the patch later tonight to see how's the new perfomance compared without SLI ( 3x (980 GTX GB G1) Under water .
