SLI/Crossfire in DayZ, does it work?

It works, but very badly. Even with a single GPU you'll see utilisation drop to 40-50% a lot, it's no different with SLI but you end up with that 40-50% on two cards instead of one. You still get higher settings for your FPS, but if you only want SLI/Xfire for DayZ and nothing else I'd hold on to your money until they fix the game.

 

Oh, and don't expect improvements in cities. I still get 18-25 FPS in the bigger ones, regardless of my settings. According to Rocket it's a known issue with proxies for objects not being culled, and I guess it's probably a lot more to do with CPU/RAM than graphics hardware based on how only one game setting affects it.

Thanks for the replies.

I currently run two 670 in SLI and was thinking about upgrading to a single 780ti which is only few fps faster. But it's not worth upgrading if I won't see much difference.

I know one gpu is always better than two, but SLI actually works great compared to what I hear about Crossfire and its issues. Still, it just might not be worth it to upgrade in my case.
