Interesting. I know that if you do not update your SLI Profile to version 7 only one card will work. Both of my cards are just about almost equally being used, SLI bar graphs are showing balanced usage, and temps are almost the same, perhaps off by 3-5 degrees. Also I had to "Add" the game's .exe file to the Nvidia Control panel's 3D Settings.



60 frames capped because the system selected Vsync after I selected no. Wierd. So through out the whole SP game it would just stay at 60 frames on Extreme @ 1650 rez. I will try toggling that setting again to see what in reality my max frames are.

I have a GTX260 SC SLI config and i got something to work...

1) Update the drivers to 266.58
2) Install the EVGA SLI Enhancement at: http://www.evga.com/articles/00463/
3) Open the Nvidia Control Panel, go to 3d Settings -> Manage 3D Settings -> Set the SLI rendering mode to "Force alternate frame rendering 2"
4) Restart you computer
5) Try it!

This worked for me, it's using 90% of each card.

5850 x2

Same massive flickering issues. I've noticed V-Sync changes the rate of the flicker though, but that's not really surprising. It's good to see other Beta testers are reporting this as well. Hopefully this issue will be corrected before the game goes live.

Please don't get me wrong, I am not trying to be negative, I just want to help figure it out. I tried adding that .exe to my CP Profile. It did not work (I only tried AR2 though). You had mentioned updating your SLI profile to version 7. I thought I only had to update my drivers. Is there a seperate section for SLI profiles?
I am glad to here you are getting those results. I am trying to avoid using the EVGA software route (I do like EVGA, I just worry about those types of programs). I was seeing 91% on GPU1 and 2-3% on GPU2. I also noticed some of the effects, like rain in the beginning, were gone if I used SLI (maybe that was on card 2?).
As much as I love tweaking these games, it can be such a pain sometimes.
I'll just play Rift until Nvidia gets it sorted out.

I have a single 2gb 6970 but all that is happening is after playing the game fine for 4 minutes or so it drops from 60 fps to 4 and stays that way in single player leaving the game unplayable completely. Is there anything I can do? All my other games are running fine on steam and I just want to play the single player it was really fun for the first few moments.. I'm guessing this is either a driver issue? or Crysis 2 game issue? o.o?

I've chimed into the other thread on this issue, but I'll put it here, too.

STEAM release of Crysis 2.

ATI 5970 x 2 Quadfire - Flicker all over the place.

The Steam release cannot use the 'exe rename' trick, since Steam looks for the specific Crysis2.exe for launch, and if not there, will not load, or if you copy it to a 2nd EXE and rename / run that copy, Steam still launches the Crysis2.exe file.

Running Windowed Mode removes the flicker, since only one GPU is used in Windowed mode.

If ATI were to release a new Crossfire profile for Crysis 2, this would be somewhat resolved, since the file-rename trick is doing just that - making Crysis2 run with the rift.exe crossfire profile.

But since this issue is happening to SLI people, too, the game has to be at the core of the problem, not just a SLI or Crossfire profile.

The SLI profile Update Version 7 is only to be used with the latest Beta drivers v267.24 or v267.31

*Download and save to your Desktop the Nvidia Geforce Beta Drive v267.31
*Download and install DriveSweeper v2.9.0 http://phyxion.net/Driver-Sweeper/Driver-Sweeper/
*Uninstall the Display/Graphics Drive (DO NOT Restart when prompt)
*Right click on DriverSweeper and select "Run As Adimistrator" and select Nvidia Display > Analyse > Clean > Reboot (when prompt)
*After reboot (wait a while for the new hardware wizard to stop) right click on the the Nvidia c267.31 install file and select "Run as Adimistrator", then restart
*Enable SLI
*Download and Install the SLI Profile Update Version 7 http://www.nvidia.com/object/nvidia-mul ... river.html (You will have to right click on it and Run As Adminstrator)
*Go to NVCP Manage 3D Settings and apply the following as your global settings:

Multi-display/mixed GPU acceleration: "Single Display Performance Mode"
Power Management Mode: 'Prefer Maximum Performance'
SLI performance mode: "Nvidia recommended "
Threaded Optimization: "On"

*Then Save.

*Add the Crysis2.exe to the Program Settings.
*Restart (You dont have to but its a good practice)


Your good to go

There is a profile created 3/18 claiming an improvement in Crysis 2 crossfire applications. I installed it last night, but I am still waiting on my PC copy of Crysis 2 to show up so I can test it. Anyone tried this app profile out yet????
