    SLI is still not supported in Crysis from what I understand. It will probably be added in a patch of some sort.

    Anyone else had luck with this?

    There is no support for SLI in Crysis apparently, it will be added via a patch later on. All I have to say is that they had better get it out soon . . .

    "r_MultiGPU [0,1,2] - This option controls whether Crysis enables additional overhead for rendering on multi-GPU systems (i.e. SLI and CrossFire setups). If set to 0 - which is the optimal setting for single-GPU systems - it disables multi-GPU support; if set to 1 it enables multi-GPU support for both SLI and Crossfire; if set to 2 it attempts to auto-detect if a multi-GPU setup is present (system)." crysis tweak guide

    r_DisplayInfo in Crysis shows "MultiGPU", so it prolly does work
