Anyone with G80 SLI try DX10 CoH or Call of Juarez?

I'd just like to see the kind of impact SLI has on a DX10 game/benchmark.

Sooo...anyone with experience or a link?

Does SLI even exist for DX10 yet? I'm pretty sure Vista doesn't support SLI yet.

It doesn't?? I thought they got that fixed in one of the newer driver releases??

even if it did support sli, i wouldnt try benching on a dx9 game that isnt based on tru dx10 code.

Company of Heroes in DX10 is not compatible with SLI yet per NVIDIA. I've run Call of Juarez DX 10 benchmark a number of times and have had some success at getting at least partial SLI activity. You can read my results here.

With all the problems NVIDIA is currently having with G80 drivers in Vista, I would not count on seeing any new developments in SLI under DX10 for now. Personally, I'd be happy if NVIDIA could resolve the damn TDR Errors when I use my 8800 GTX in single card mode.

Hopefully they'll have working drivers before Crysis is released this fall. Crossfire does run COH just fine in DX10 though.

Thanks for the link and info. I'm trying to decide whether to buy a SLI m/b right now in anticipation of adding another GTS when Crysis/Bioshock etc. hit retail. I've ordered another PSU just in case but that can be considered an investment in itself even if I don't run SLI. I wonder if I'll have to go XFire if NVidia doesn't have these problems sorted out.
