Exactly, we paid for hardware which we are not allowed to use properly in BFV.
Meanwhile SLI users suffer, who cares? people cry about every single detail on the game, and Dice/EA do everything to make that people happy, unfortunately, SLI people are just claiming at least to have good performance, but DICE/EA are so focused on everything that do not fix anything, just 23 hours from the patch you can play with the Minecraft graphics again and I have my SLI back. Nice try, I hope the method to do it do not get into the hands of youtubers because if so, the next patch will not have SLI, nor will DX12, and possibly restrict access to the nvidia control panel. LOL.
Since the last Batllefield V Update my SLI isnt working. Befor, I activeted SLI with the Star Wars Battlefront II profil and it was perfectly working. But now, if I do that, in the loadingscreen of BFV both Cards are used, but in the moment, when the main Menu opens, SLI isnt working and the settings in NVIDIA Profil Inspector are reseted to the NVIDIA defaults.
I tried to reinstall the graphics driver und reinstall BFV, but no effect. I also tried an other SLI profil (those from BF One ), but same effect.
Does anyone have an idea? Thank you!
My specs:
I7 6850K
2x GTX 980TI
32GB RAM

Hope it helps.
Well that was helpful and makes total sense. A lot of people still utilise SLI.
What he said
I still think this is Nvidias fault though. By allowing people to force "cartoon mode" onto competitive multiplayer games (what I consider cheating). If this is what DICE can do to fix that then Nvidias whole profile system is poorly designed and need to be upgraded to allow SLI AND the game controlling it's own graphics at the same time.
The tools are already there; Dice just chose not to use them. As my quote (that's me, BTW) from Reddit suggested: Check the profile for the specific LOD settings. Dice knows which ones they are, and the NVAPI will let them check those specifically. If those settings (and ONLY those settings) have changed: throw a fault and kick the person out of the game.
Simple, easy, done. SLI users can continue to make changes so they can enjoy using both of their cards, and LOD cheaters get the boot like they deserve.
Instead, Dice took the easy (and potentially legally challenging.. hold for that..) route: change the profile back. Well, as others have stated, it effectively shunts any UAC that Windows has running by using NVAPI. The end user is never alerted that the files are being changed. I.... uh... wonder what Microsoft will think of that when they find out? I'll bet a paycheck they won't like it.
Called this one on 20 Jan, didn't I? ... Ugh!
Considering BFV is a Nvidia title and DICE has access to and get help from Nvidia developers directly (RTX and their AI AA) what you are saying doesn't make a lot of sense. So I don't think it's as simple as that. But unless a DICE Frostbite engine programmer or the like appears on here or on Reddit/Twitter I don't think we will have the full story, only speculations.
