Dual graphics cars support?
We are currently looking to purchase a new laptop to make real time presentations built in unity. There is an option to spec a laptop with 2x nvidia gtx 560m in a dual configuration. Can unity take advantage of this?
Thanks
Unity doesn't take advantage of 2 cpu cores, so I would think not.
Nonsense. :) If you have operations that do not depend on the Unity API, you're free to multithread that all you want.
Oh yes thats what I meant, I know you can make new threads for calculations and such. But still unity api does not support multithreading 3(accessible by a new thread). And the unity engine itself is not multithreaded. So we're both right :D

Especially Dreamora's answer seems to nail this one. SLI report to the graphics engine as one GPU, so Unity would automatically support it, though there are certain shaders that need to be rewritten, if they use data from previous frames, because the frames might be rendered by alternating cards. That's the short version.
