i think bf4 dose not support sli unfortunately

 

btw if you are only playing at 1080p or 1440p you should have only got one 980. if you are playing 4k then good work on getting  2 cards :D

Its when dragons have so much sex that the cpu cant handle it

I could be wrong, but i believe BF4 doesn't support sli, as it is more geared towards AMD, and is one of few game's that use's AMD's mantle.

Did you enable SLI in the nvidia control panel?

oh i would have thought that a game that requires lots of graphical needs would support sli...

 

anyways thanks for the replies and yes, i do have it enabled in control panel

I'm pretty sure BF4 does support SLI. I used to run dual 760s and went from 55-60 fps with a single card to 85-90 in SLI

What resolution are you gaming at? What kind of performance are you getting?

It supports sli. Check NVidia control panel and make sure "Maximize 3d performance" is selected.

 

Really hope you're on a very high res to be using 2 980's.

Bingo. Make sure SLI is enabled via the nVidia control panel, "Maximize 3D Performance". That will enable SLI. You will have to double check this any time you update drivers as the updates like to disable SLI.

BF4 most certainly does support SLI. Remember however that SLI only works when you play full screen - not windowed.

Never say it's not broken. Everything is broken. Why? Because everything needs MOAR POWA!
