you need nhancer so that you can force SLI as there are still some games that do not nativity use it. and Batman is one of them.

When I said that SLI needs high resolutions, how much truth is there to that?

Im using 1360X768 resolution because my monitor broke (using a 720p TV instead)
and I'm getting literally no fps gains from any of my games

PS: ill try nhancer

SLI does not "need" high resolutions, I ran SLI on a 1024x768 CRT. Do you mean no gain going from SLI to non-SLI?

then I would hazard a guess that SLI is not working in that game. A very good way to check is to go into NV control panel and in the 3d settings menu check "show SLI indicator". If you dont see it in the game then it is not working.

Yes you will see more of a difference at higher resolutions.

BMAA = BatMan Arkham Asylum ...

And my question was, did you turn off phys-x in both the game and in the control panel? Because I believe that even if you disable it in the CP, it can still work if it's on in the game. I know that's the case with Mirror's Edge, but I'm not sure on Batman.

if you saw my attached SS of Borderlands (first page) you can see that the indicator is already enabled, but the bar on it is very short
