Hi all recently got another 980 ti and have tried to set ED up fer sli, trouble is when i do this i get the old spinning ship of doom.
So i need to know if the 980ti is supported through sli with ED
And if it is then are other peeps able to use it so i can put in a but report for it.

I recently upgraded my GTX660 to 2 x GTX980TI in SLI (mainly for DCS 2.0 Alpha, but EDH also benefits). I use a DK2. I did have a flickering display on the latest drivers using direct mode on 0.5 SDK, but when I reverted back to the previous drivers it went away.
The FPS counter is showing 37.5 ingame, and 75 in the menus, so I guess it's doing the half framerate thing, not that I notice (seems smooth enough to me).

Ah cool so it does work with 2x980 ti's thank you for letting me know.
yeah i am on the latest Nvidia drivers.
The spinning ship of Doom is where you get as far as the loading screen with the spinning ship and it goes no further just in case you did not know.
Time for a bug report me thinks.

I was reading yesterday in a thread that actually was covering this...it will work but the 64 bit executable has to be added in the NVidia software for this when setting up sli...it seems the new update did this for some...but others have had to setup sli manually for Horizons. ill try and find the thread and repost...a poster actually had a little diagram and steps.

Flickering went away with the last NVidia driver?
I have 2 x 980 and get flicker in dcs world 2 alpha and project cars

For DCS I'm using the 0.8 SDK. I had no flickering in DCS even with the latest drivers, just in EDH.
I have Win7 Pro x64 and an 4770K, in case that makes a difference.

Thanks for all of the help peeps. i did a full format to get it working something got messed up somewhere.

No the latency is fine.

After sorting the problem the other day i turned elite off and got on with some other things and thought no more of it, when i went back i put the bit o code back in the ini for the 2nd window and tried elite and it got stuck on the spinning ship loading screen again.
So had to take that bit back out of the ini and it was fine again, bit o a pain because i use that screen a lot.
