Issue 19 Teaser: Sli Mentioned

In the recent Issue 19 Teaser, someone mentions the game as Sli Capable, and as long as Ive known, it has not been. Did I miss something?

Around the 5:25-5:40 mark. Someone mentions Sli Working.

I just want to make sure this is not some sort of misread on their part.

I've been running the game on sli since running the game on sli since....well you get it. It's always been capable.

hmm, perhaps it defaults to just one when I load up CoX. That's weird, I could have sworn it uses both, since my loud-a** fans are heard when toggles go up. I should run some tests to make sure I guess.

From what I understand, in the past the game didn't actually support SLI mode.

It would run, but it wouldn't really be in SLI mode and you wouldn't be getting the benefits of both cards.

I know there have been some persistant rumors that The Television (I think) has been testing various things to get real SLI mode working.

It could be that it's finally ready and being included in I19, but I don't think I've seen anything official about it yet.

If I had to make a definative statement, I'd say "eventually - but until it's officially announced, assume it's just another rumor"

But what I am talking about is in the video link I posted. One of the dev's (or community leaders) states that it has been included in the game allready. Was this a mistake on their part, or did I miss something?

It's possible that Ultra Mode enabled SLI but I am not sure.

Take the Magic: The Gathering 'What Color Are You?' Quiz.

They did a test of it during issue 17 closed beta(Or maybe 16, don't quite remember) using the -slifbos 1 flag on the updater, which definitely worked, but I have no idea whether that made it to the live version or not.

for those of us running at a fraction of our machines capability, being hobbled by inferior graphics card configs involving a single card that costs less than 300.

quad sli - yes pls. hope this is true.

Confirmed: SLI will be supported as of the I19 release. Enjoy!

Fantastic, thanks Noble!

squee!

so... sli not being supported seemed to be a core engine limitation thing back in the day, asking about it the devs wouldn't even really respond. So this is fantastic.

I wonder if the capability became possible with the ultra revamp or if they're still at work on the graphics engine at that kind of level.

dunno, who cares! this is awesome news!

So what does this mean for crossfire configs then? Or did I miss something where it was already there but no one spoke of it as some pink elephant of a stalker who manages to miss every assassin's upgrade from pathetic system specs?

Excuse me but what is Sli?
I got an ATI Sapphire Hd 4650 1GB... Will I benefit of this?
Im just curious, thank you.

Nice, just upgraded my build to SLI. Had some beta drivers kinda trying to fake it, but it'll be nice that it's now supported. Looking forward to it.

I *had* an SLI configuration a few years back when it first came out. Was WAY too much trouble at the time, and nothing supported it. So, I said screw it and went with a single, powerhouse of a card. (at the time, a GTX250, 1 gig, kind of dated now i guess)

Are things different now? Easier to get running, better supported? What is the benefit over a single, powerful GPU? As is, my CoH runs at about mid level utral mode. Most options on, and at mid to high quality. I turn bloom and depth of field off because i don't like how they look. I run a constent 60 FPS and the games pretty as get out. So i'm not in any hurry to upgrade, but, will prolly eventually, in a few months, and am considering my options. (new games on the horzian i want to meet the max req's for. (DCO, TOR, ect)
