Thanks for the link, interesting read. I won't be much help.
By end of thread, SLI-support seemed pretty uncertain to me (re whether SLI was actually active or if FPS was misleading bug).
I would love if borderless gaming eventually supported multi-cards. It's more flexible & easy-going than fullscreen (if you remove SLI from equation).
Re spread:
If you know for certain this game uses MaxFX (heavily modified), then there is strong chance it will spread well (about 90% chance).
Likely at the very worst, this game would require borderless to spread, & maybe a minor tweak (e.g. launcher argument).
But these days fullscreen MM support is pretty likely to exist on big games, if not immediately. This is a pretty big game, with multiple recognizable movie actors & a respected developer.
BTW I am currently playing Tomb Raider 2013, which has pretty-shitty fullscreen MM support (but borderless spread is beautiful).
As far as the SLI borderless goes I also cannot see that being what is really going on. With the rest I was also almost sure the engine even gutted and rebuilt to support a new API would still retain the ability to scale and render properly at almost any AR. However that being said the more I see about the game the less I feel that will be the case. Also basically every bit of excitement I had to play the game has vanished. Two of the design choices in particular really put me off. The first horrid decision they made was that it in ALL cases, no matter what only ever renders at 2/3 of the resolution it is displayed at.So 2560x1440 is 1760x960. It is run through 4xMSAA but that doesn't mean a damn thing especially since not all MSAA implementations are created equal and they needed to cut corners to get this running on a toaster. The second of a long list of bad ideas was to only have local cutscenes on said toasters. On the PC every cutscene, of which there are many is streamed from their servers. Their entire argument about why the games limitations are there and why it is always upsampled was; to preserve quality at all costs making sure everyone has a good experience. It must have just slipped by them that streaming super compressed and pixilated Bink video to half the user base that will have crap internet then upscaling that too would make for a garbage experience. Unless of course they pioneered a new codec and video wrapper that is lightyears above what already exists. The final damnable thing on my list of why I went from super excited to could care less is one I would've overlooked had everything esle been halfass decent. That is of course the fact they laid in bed with Microsoft in the first place. If they want to make console games that's fine, make console games. Just don't pretend like your doing us a favor and cared so much about the PC market you convinced MS with sheer willpower and fortitude alone, and then release an absolute abortion. There's more but it's late and I've already had too many run-on sentences trying to stay awake and finish this. That is my two cents.
