Hello everyone! I’m using Ubuntu 20.04.2 and just moved to it. I’m not very familiar with its setup. I heard multi-GPU support exists through Vulkan, but I have a GTX 690 which seems to be two 680s combined. In my game Dota 2 only one GPU is active. Can I enable SLI in this game on my system? Thanks in advance!

It seems like you're questioning whether something is possible, even with minor progress. Dota2 doesn't allow it, at least according to what you said.

It has functioned well on Windows. I've verified it.

SLI isn't supported on Linux (though you can turn it on, there are no game profiles available), and Vulkan doesn't automatically utilize multiple GPUs—this requires specific engine modifications. Dota 2 works this way regardless of operating system, whether Windows or Linux.

Only because it functions doesn't imply the game includes both elements.

I also have a GTX 690, so I can help you with that. It doesn't function well in Linux because of the lack of SLI support. You could try using Dual Boot with Windows for gaming or switch back to Windows for better performance on your current setup.
