I was super looking forward to Dragon Age 2 and fortunately I am on vacation this week :thumbsup:
Downloaded and installed, played the game in DX11, turned up all the settings, installed the hi res texture pack. http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/300/index/6392956
Using the 267.24 drivers with the DA2 profiles.
I'm getting awful performance. With a single card I get about 80% GPU utilization and 10fps, with all three I get about 40% GPU utilization and 15-20fps.
The game looks better, but is nothing impressive at all.
Seems the issue is related to nvidia's drivers and is not just happening to SLI users:

AMD cards are running the game just fine in DX11 with good framerates, a 5850 is outperforming a GTX 580 in DX11 in this game!

If anyone finds a fix, please advise. Was looking forward to this one.
