I want to share my experience with SLI as it has been working perfectly for me. Here is the specs of my system:
CPU:7700K (4.9Ghz fixed clock)
RAM: 32GB Corsair Dominator Platinum DDR4 (4X8GB, 3200Mhz)
GPU: A pair of Titan XP 12GB
MB: ASUS Maximus VIII Extreme
Display: Asus PA329Q (4K)
Here is my game settings:
I tested SLI with one of the missions included in "The enemy within" campaign (3rd mission "Patrol", starting at Kobuleti) of DCS 2.5
First of all, with SLI turned off
FPS: 35~40 while GPU usage stays above 90% all the time
When SLI is enabled, (used default Black Shark Nvidia profile and only SLI compatibility setting DX10+DX11 bits was changed to 0x081000F5 (Dirt 3, Dirt Rally)).
FPS: 60 (V-sync on)
GPU usage of both cards hovering btw 70~80%
