SLI & XFIRE Support?

Post » Sat Oct 15, 2011 6:15 pm

Sorry if this has been asked/answered before.

What will the support for SLI and Crossfire be like in Skyrim?

Has it been confirmed that it will be used or will it depend on more on the drivers, just wondering as I have Xfire 6870's and it would be great to take advantage of them both

Thanks.

I wasn't aware that software supported SLI/Crossfire directly. I was under the impression that ANY game could be run on those hardware configurations.

Well for example Rage didnt support Sli or crossfire at all and this was said by the developers. I was under the impression that it was a mixture of both developer implementations and driver optimisation.

A lot of games have issues with systems that have two or more GPUs. Crysis 2 for example was basically unplayable on a system with two GPUs. You had to disable one just to get the game stable.
