Heyyo,

Use NVIDIA Inspector and try the SLI bits 0x42410005... tends to work ok-ish in Unity Engine games... but honestly nothing you can really do other than hope they port the game to a game engine with proper SLI support like Unreal Engine.

Some developers have said Multi-GPU setups appear in Unity Engine as "one GPU" but I've yet to see that work in any Unity Engine game where more than one GPU gets better scaling than an an actual "one GPU". :P

@Romin^5 also have two GTX 980's and yet to see my fps over 30. Most details turned off. How did you set yours up pls??

Heyyo,

@Weeddrunken, DON'T blame NVIDIA on this one... name a game on Unity Game Engine with SLI support?

See the issue now?

Oddly enough? Blizzard's Hearthstone has an SLI compatibility bit... a card game... but I think it could have been due to some compatibility issue forcing the game to run on single GPU when you have your rig set up as SLI.

There is a lot of inconsistency....
BUT it's the only way to activate SLI, atm.
SRY, btw NVIDIA sucks at supporting their SLI customers! :(

@1080p btw.

This doesn't seem to work for me. I get 50-70 fps using two GTX 980s SC maxed out. The frames are pretty inconsistent.
