Awhile back i had some program that showed in top right-hand corner if a game was using SLI. Anyone know this program?

I know lots of programs that show it, but not IN the game, you have to alt-tab but with power saving feature you can't tell then.

Or better yet does anyone know if a G15 keyboard plugin for this?

The Nvidia driver has a SLI GPU utilization bar. Click on "Set SLI and PhysX config" and then in the menu "3D settings" activate the "SLI visual indicator".

Personally I prefer MSI Afterburner/EVGA Precision, as they also provide you with information about GPU load, temps and VRAM usage for all GPUs.

I've been using the on-screen display in MSI Afterburner for some testing -- assuming that if I see GPU utilization for both cards, then SLI is enabled. Having Rage only showing GPU1 in use (I played it for a few minutes last night to test a .CFG file) seems to corroborate this.

I've yet to come up with a game where the OSD does not appear, though -- will keep an eye out for that. Which game(s)?

edit: did you go to the OSD tab in Afterburner and check the boxes for the characteristics you want to see on-screen? Have you made sure that the OSD server is running in the taskbar?
