Huh? I've seen lots of people talk about using SLI with ED. I was so impressed with how ED looks with supersampling set to 1.5 or 2.0 that I picked up a second 970 and SLI worked with no problems. I spent a few hours doing some FPS tests. I won't post all the numbers here, but my FPS was between 70% and 90% higher with two gfx cards installed under various conditions (2560x1440).
Now, with supersampling set to 1.5, I maintain a solid 60FPS (v-sync on and limited to 60FPS), except it can drop into the 50's in the station and in a RES. At 2.0 it will usually be 50-60FPS in most situations, and drop into the 40's in the station and in a RES. So I'm using 1.5 now and will experiment with adjusting down some of the other graphics quality settings to boost the FPS.
