When I installed the new driver, it seems Nvidia made a SLI profile for Shift Unleashed , but its wants to select single gpu.
It seems that SLI AA is now working though, and I can get near full gpu usage on both gpu's this way, and the game looks pretty good.
IMO, its not much of a graphical improvement over Shift 1.

Thats a smart move, they are steadly improving sli performance.

Been using the BETA's for a while now, will try these when I get home. I can't remember from previous drivers, but is it just me or is there no Stalker: Call of Pripyat profile in the Nv control panel? I see Stalker SHOC and Clear sky but not Pripyat.
