    I have a Dell SXPS 1340 and have been struggling with Red Faction and SLI, there's guides out there for using nHancer, but I'm running the 258.96 drivers from NVIDIA (no modded inf) and no matter what I try Red Faction will not use both GPUs so I'm limited to about 20-30fps tops.

    It's baffling because I had similar issues with BioShock 2, both BioShock 2 and RFG have SLI profiles in the latest drivers but it's like the drivers don't detect the games. I was only able to get BioShock2 using SLI by renaming the exe file to ut3.exe (this doesn't work for Red Faction).

    What I've tried is editing the official profile for Red Faction, creating a new profile and even forcing SLI globally using a combo of NVIDIA Inspector and the official profile exporter/importing tool and it still has no effect. Also I installed the game and immediately applied the "Update 2" patch before launching it.

    I have to be the only person in the world with this problem so I don't expect a solution, but does anyone have any ideas?
