    Hey Guys,
    i'm an alienware user, i got the m9750 with the dual 7950GTX, i got the latest forceware installed "169.28". when i run Crysis on 1 card, med settings i get a smooth gameplay with an average of 30 FPS, when i activate SLI, i get the same ammount of FPS with a very laggy gaming Experience. so is the Problem i'm using VIsta? or i just need to wait for Crysis patch?

    yes, you would definitely want to wait for the crysis patch and see if that helps fix your problem. also, keep in mind that, just like Ati's crossfire, SLi doesn't speed everything up. so while you might get better performance in some 3d apps w/ sli, you might get equal or even worse performance in some apps w/ it on than w/ it off.
