Currently Dolphin does not use/support more than one GPU so you can certainly set up your SLI but only one video card will be used.

EVGA GeForce GTX 970 4GB
Intel Core i5-4690K - OC'ed to 4.5GHz
G.SKILL Ripjaws X 8GB DDR3 1600

That i know.

Just wondered if there where any tweaks to enable sli, but nvidia control panel didnt even have a "forced" sli mode on non supported games for this one.

Unfortunately SLI compatability is pretty much dependant on nVidia sending us people to help implement it. As a non-AAA-game program, Dolphin won't get any help.
OS: Windows 10 64 bit Professional
CPU: Intel i5 4670K @3.4GHz... for now @4.6GHz with a quick and dirty (yet stable) OC. May get faster in a bit before the end of time.
RAM: 16GB (Down from 24 GB after some was given to siblings)
GPU: Radeon Vega 56

Nvidia sends programmers to AAA game studios to help implement SLI? A few major partner studios might get that treatment but the vast majority have to do it themselves.

Excellent. Lets make neobrain do it himself.

However, both of the graphically intense games which I have the boxes for have either an nVidia logo, an AMD logo, or both. This isn't the best sample, though, as they're both pretty major titles.

Nvidia will fix drivers to support sli on their own for pretty much all pc games, dolphin is in special situation since it's not a pc game..maybe someone should contact the nvidia about the issue...
Something will probably have to be changed in dolphin code as well...

GC emulation is unsuitable for any sort of dual-GPU processing, simple as that.

My point was that nvidia sending programmers to aid in development is not the same thing as nvidia optimizing their drivers around a particular games implementation.

Plus neobrain is right. It wouldn't help anyways.
