Yeah I'm getting 99% on GPU 2 and between 30% and 40% with GPU 1.

First revert back to global profiles, then install SLI patch.

EVGA_JacobF First revert back to global profiles, then install SLI patch. I dont think thats the problem, I just installed the patch after a clean driver install and i am having the same problem. Full use on GPU 1, about 20-35% on 2

I am not sure why it doesn't work, I think it may be something with permissions. You can also try applying the update manually: Download this: http://nvidia.custhelp.co...1274701918&p_olh=0 Next, right click/save as on this: http://cdn.evga.com/SLI/sli.txt Then, import the .txt file using the NVIDIA Profile tool. Let me know if that works, if it does then we can narrow down where the issue is occurring.

I would like to say thank you Jacob for your help. After trying your alternate method, i think its working now. Both cards are at 76% in GPU activity.

Also i thought i would mention, after installing and using the SLI patch i did notice some flickering with the water. I didnt have this issue before installing the SLI patch. Anyone else?

Yea I noticed that too, but I have seen it with single GPU too. Also I will look into why the auto installer is not working in this case...

No dice. Even with the imported profiles. I'm running a GTX295. I get fantastic FPS and GPU usage is at 95%+ on both cores, but the flickering is absolutely unplayable.

Ya, seems its the SLI patch cause with a single card, or without the patch it dosent do it. Hope to hear something back from Jacob on this matter.

The Crysis 2 demo uses SLI just fine for me. I'm using the 267.24 beta set and the SLI patch. However, it doesn't use 3 way SLI properly as I get the same performance with 2 cards as I do with 3.

I played the demo for a while and installed the patch, noticed SLI wasn't working, but didn't try Jacobs trick. Anyway, I had to restore windows from an earlier restore point just before I loaded the demo and patch (and that's all I had done) because of problems I was having. Funny thing is the demo worked all right, but other programs were hard locking. I removed the demo and patch, but still had to restore. I noticed one time when I started up the pc windows restored a mess of file that looked like they were for the demo. I'm not touching that that thing again

I'm running the 266.58 WHQL's with the nvidia SLI profile for Crysis 2 directly from nvidia and Tri SLI scaling is awesome and performance is great but I have flickering in the water as well since I'm running SLI. water on Pier 17 and in the mall inside where there's water on the floor. The rooftop map seems to be fine, but there's no water on that map. I just assumed it was a driver bug and will probably be fixed when nvidia launches new drivers before the game goes retail. I'm assuming we will see new whql with the release of DA2/Crysis2/Homefront all incoming this month.

Let me know if that works, if it does then we can narrow down where the issue is occurring. I did this and yes it did fix the sli issues, now my 570's are running Crysis 2 Demo at around 80-85% each (highest settings), thank you. I do notice the water flickering, and some hesitation when playing the game tho. I don't know if this is a driver issue, or if it's the 570's cant keep up with the game? Hard to believe it would be the cards not keeping up, considering Im seeing 100+ FPS while playing. Should I sit tight & wait for the official driver release that accommodates the new games released in March (Bulletstorm, Homefront, Crysis 2) or should I take my 570's back & get the 580's instead  . (Ive only had the 570's since 2/16 the store i bought them at gives you 30days to make returns, and i REALLY want to be able to play Crysis 2 MAXED OUT with no problems  )
