The official website says Fermi cards are not supported yet. However the anandtech review of the GTX460 shows benchmarks of it running badaboom, I have installed the trial version on the website (v 1.2.367) and it will not detect my GPUs (I have 2 in SLI, tried with SLI disabled). When you go to advanced the bar that lets you select GPUs just shows a "0"

This is what it looks like for me:

Did anandtech get some special beta version or something? Why not mention it in the review?

I'm beginning to think it was done in adobe premiere with elemental technology's plugin (makers of badaboom) if so they should just say so in the review, led me on a wild goose chase here for nothing.

Indeed we did. NVIDIA & Elemental supplied us with v1.2.1.323 at the GTX 480 launch. It has Fermi support enabled.

I was under the impression that a Fermi-compatible version of Badaboom had been released back in early June, but clearly this is in error. So thanks for bringing this to my attention.:)
