Just wondering before I buy GW2 if anyone has confirmed it supports SLI?

Can't find a definite answer on the web.

Thanks

Good question i was wondering the same, i was running one 670 GTX right now @ 2560x1440 reso and it runs great.

But of course i want to run 2 now, one issue is i have the superclocked EVGA they recalled most of for the FTW version. Will i be able to even find another superclocked version to SLI mine with? And what sort of power would i need to run 2?

Yeah, nVIDIA SLI works with Guild Wars 2. However, with GW2 and current nVIDIA driver (306.02 beta) frame rate fluctuation is worse in SLI mode.

I might be mistaken but I don't think it's a driver issue though. The general consensus around forums on the net seems.... the problem = GW2 graphics engine. They render part on cpu, part on gpu, and it keeps switching back and forth during gameplay.

You can tell when the cpu kicks in instead of gpu because I can be in the same area 5 minutes later and FPS is lower than my vsync, with no people before or after.

Sli works great with 306.02 drivers for me on Gtx 580s. Don't see any fps issues you spoke of.
