Fix engine for more frames - we shouldn’t have to pay extra for equipment to account for an Engine that needs major improvements for all the FPS stuff
RTX and DSLL on JWE2... ...and to ED, any news?

Would be an impressive feat of programming to get SLI working since it no longer exists on new hardware and driver support for old hardware has ended.
"New" is a rather subjective term in this case, as the 3090 was the last card to support SLI – I doubt Frontier test machines have newer or higher end cards than that, especially considering their "recommended" card for Odyssey on Steam is a 1060. SLI is still supported in new drivers as well for established games, just not by Nvidia for new games since 2021.
But anyway, it might be difficult, it might not. I think Frontier likely just aren't accounting for it, since they have more pressing and widespread issues to deal with, presumably. It is already implemented in Odyssey, so potentially just do whatever they did with Horizons Beyond to get it working or make a few tweaks. This is the same base game after all. It should be addressed either way though, as Odyssey does try to make use of SLI, just very poorly.

The reason why SLI isn't worth developing is that Nvidia has ditched it.OK, Johnny. Tell me where SLI touched you...
Only for newer games and cards since 2021, basically. Elite: Dangerous is a 7+ year old game. For new games, I'd agree that it wouldn't have wide enough appeal to support it. It is already supported and implemented in this game up through Horizons Beyond and implemented in Odyssey, so hopefully Frontier will at least get around to address the issue sooner or later, one way or the other.
That was the year when the drop in support became official, Nvidia had neglected SLI for many years prior.
Really?
Hey, there's probably at least like...10 of us out there that play the game.Good luck, you are one of the last SLI users on earth...

I feel for the guys dual wielding 3090s in SLI. That's gotta be rough. Is that a thing on 3DMark?
Yeah, it uses it by default, just so poorly for me at least that it's worse than using just one card by itself. Might just have been overlooked by Frontier and rolled in. Although earlier on in Odyssey during the first couple updates it looked like it didn't use it.
Yes, 2x 3090 in SLI seems to be the norm if you want to get a 'decent' 3DMark score...Hey, there's probably at least like...10 of us out there that play the game.
