    I'm under the impression the demo is only using one of my cards...

    If I disable SLi, I get the same performance.

    I've tried all the non-Dell drivers, and non-of them seem to work. Either black screen, flashing cursor top left, or Crysis loads with loads of artifacts.

    Any ideas on this..?

    I'm pretty sure SLI did not work at first, but was later fixed.

    You'll need retail Crysis with the latest patch, and the latest Nvidia driver (169.xx or later).

    I am unsure if the patch works on the demo, may be worth looking into.
