I know at one time there was no official support for it in CO. Do we have Official support for it in STO?

    Works fine on my system with twin 8800 GTS cards. Both GPUs are running at maximum warp, according to the data on my G-15 keyboard, using EVGA's Precision app.

    Apparently so, as there is an SLI profile that activates when I launch the game.

    Question: Is Star Trek Online compatible with SLI or Crossfire technology?

    Answer: Yes. The Cryptic engine takes advantage of multi-GPU setups. In some systems this will provide a significant performance increase, while other systems may be limited by other non-GPU factors and not see a benefit from multi-GPU. If at any time you experience major graphical issues with SLI or crossfire enabled make sure to try disabling multi-GPU functionality in the Nvidia control panel/Catalyst controller. Always ensure you are using the recommend drivers for Star Trek online that are obtainable through Nvidia or ATI. These are the only supported driver distributors for Cryptic products.

    What i would like to know is if STO is a CUDA application?
    As among the troubleshooting settings there is an option to tick in GPU physics.
    And the thing i want to know is if it takes advantage of the multi-gpu setup with a graphics card dedicated for physics/cuda processing.

    Hmm, I'll have to update my drivers, then. After the latest patch I've had trouble with SLI (dual GTX285s), it's actually much faster on a single card now. :(
