Game runs fine Maxed on my EVGA GTX 670 non SLi in DX11 so honestly who cares about SLI?Not really going to give you anything more unless maybe your CPU is lacking.
FOR THE SEVEN!!!

Those are essentially patch notes, not a list of abilities. While I have no idea whether Neverwinter has DX11 SLI support without researching it by no means does that say it's not there.
They added DX9 SLI Support. They could have added DX11 SLI support long, long ago.
Some people like to max out the graphics, I run SLI when playing a lot of games since there is some improvement... Now for any Cryptic games I just disable SLI because really there is NO improvement at all at the contrary it give me some issues mostly during combat.
I got a friend that uses CROSSFIRE and he had the same issues, so before playing Neverwinter he goes to 1 card too.
It read "Is your PC ready for Simcity?"
I think it needs to be changed to "Is the EA servers ready for this many players??"
NWO is using the same engine and graphics rendering set as CO so it's quite possible that NWO will run 3D as well.
SIDE NOTE:
I have also found a series of files in the NWO install folder pertaining to PhysX .. yet I haven't seen much in game that would indicate that it's even used. Would be awesome if They were able to implement Tessellation and PhysX both into NWO. The particle effects for spells and weapons clashing would be stunning. Tessellation would really texture the dungeons into rough stone rather then polished marble.
