I poked around on nVidia's web site but didn't find anything listing what games they have profiled (i.e. "certified") to work with SLI. Apparently they have to hard code something in their forceware drivers for each specific game for it to be "officially SLI compatible" or something like that. Anybody know a list of what games are "officially supported?"
What games has nVidia profiled for SLI?

There are reports out there of other games working via profile editing. I imagine that when more tweakers get their hands on SLI setups, the "unofficial" list will be growing fast.

why?? why what? why does nV only have these listed? or why do i think the list will grow due to the user community? or why do i like to spank myself and call myself "b!tch" when i masturbate?
I believe that Anandtech has an article or a story or something about being able to "roll your own" SLI configurations.
Search for it.

hmm reminds the last time one of my friends told me to "roll my own" joint all the way back in high school. that didint go well eother.
What section was that "roll your own" article in and how old is it? I searched but didn't come up with anything.

Since SLi is not only dependent on driver profiles, but on development support, it's not just nVidia's responsibility to get it moving/working. While they need to create the drivers (and the profiles) for it to work with said games, collaboration with the game developers is key to getthing things to work properly (or at all).
thanks, squirrel. I got my rig up and running now also and I went into windows/system32 and looked at that NvApps.xml file too and it appears to have a LOT more games than what is listed on the NVIDIA SLI Scalable Applications list from the previous link above. They should really update that list, it could turn a lot of people off! So 302efi, EAT A FAT ONE buddy.
yeah, i feel the list will grow quickly. if not from nV themselves, then from 3rd party tweakers. too many geeky bastards out there want this, so you'll see it thrive eventually.
as for naysayers... i wouldn't put any stock into what others say. all you should care about is if you are happy with your system. there will always be someone that will clown someone else for buying extremely high-end components since they are often well over-priced.
that being said, i don't think 302 needs to go "eat a fat one". he's right-- nV has only certified those 21 (several of which are benchmarking apps). that is FAR from where many would hope nV would be upon release of this tech.
early adopters usually have to suffer through bugs, workarounds, tweaks, and other growing pains. it's just one of the risks that goes with the rewards.
nVidia certified those 21 as "being scalable". I guess it's a subtle difference but now I realize this list is only a subset of all the games they have profiled and included as compatible in the drivers. Nvidia only puts games they have profiled and therefore certified as being compatible with SLI in the drivers I would assume. I have not edited my NvApps.xml file to include any other games. What's in there is from nVidia and came with their 66.93 drivers and its a lot more games than what is in that list of 21. I bet those 21 are just the 21 highest scaling games to date.
And yeah, you're right, that was uncool. . .don't eat a fat one 302. I don't think he's right but I think nobody (myself included) understood the difference between being certified and included in the drivers and being certified as "being scalable."
