Sli

Does SLI currently work for Arma 2 and OA. Just got a second card...

It does but I personally have not seen much of a performance increase.

My specs are

xfx nforce 680i LT SLI

Q6600 O'C 3.2ghz

6 gb ram

2x Nvidia 260GTX 216core (overclocked)

Win 7 64 Home Premium

TrackIR 5

Ye me either. I know my sli is working correctly based on vantage scores of similar systems and scaling in modern games i play. Guess arma doesnt scale well

ArmA 2 is more CPU demanding than GPU. So indeed, SLI/CrossFire doesn't help much here. Only thing to profit from, you probably can run higher AA settings and/or 3D Resolution than with a single card.

It helps plenty depending on the situation in game.

The only scenario where it yields limited returns is in heavily built up areas (cities for example) and that has everything to do with buildings in ArmA 2 and nothing to do with SLI.

It can effectively double your FPS outside of that particular scenario.

Can't speak for SLi, but Crossfire does plenty for me. All depends on where the bottleneck is in a particular situation.

Agreed, around foliage SLI makes a huge difference to FPS (nearly double for me), but add some CPU violating buildings or lots of AI and all that advantage quickly disappears.
