How To: Enable SLI on pre-i7/i5 hardware

[JMGC]

Hi anatolymik!

I have Win7x64 and the SliPatch 1.2/1.4 not work with 270.61, only work with 266.58 in Sli two 480's in x38. The flickering is too heavy in all games. Please see this and release next patch version for 270.xx Geforce drivers.

Thanks for your support!!

Just done with testing, 1.4 works like 1.2b, but like mentioned above, when using 270.51, 270.61 etc all games get heavy flickering.

PS: Got the same problem like you in Crysis2 anatolymik, guess that kind of flickering can only be resolved by a new decent patch from crytek.

Sli Patch 1.42 and 270.61 drivers working here in Win 7 x64.

You are a code magician dude!

 

[JMGC]

Great work Anatoly. Thank you!!!

Same here patch 1.42 + 270.61 on Win7 x64 Sp1 -> Ok (no more flickering in BFBC2).

Thx dude !

Haven't had time to test, but this time I was able to switch to sli mode with no issues. Looking promising so far!

I just switched to the 1.42 slipatch and everytime I enable sli and try to play a game it will crash seconds into the game. If I downgrade to the 1.00 SLI patch it works fine but I really want to run the new 270.61 drivers. I am currently running 266.58 and the only sli patch that won't crash the system is v 1.0 please help!

Is GPU-Z still showing OpenCL disabled with 1.42 slipatch?

What are the rest of the details about your system? Also what antivirus? Anatolymik or anyone else would need to know these things to help you.

Phenom II X4 940 (need to upgrade I know just waiting)
ASUS M3A79-T Deluxe
Dual Geforce GTX 580's (EVGA Superclocked)
GPUZ shows that OpenCL is on (should it not be?)
Win 7 64 bit
MSE for av but tried disabling still crashes

Nice system. Incredible graphics cards.

Nice system. Incredible graphics cards.

thnx, I wish I knew what was causing this because I am really close to just throwing in the towel and buying a 970 or something so I am not using slipatch anymore. I was just trying to hold out for the new ivory bridge.

Well it's pretty strange you're having so much trouble with the sli patch. I've got a similar system with gtx 460s instead of 580s, and the sli patch works absolutly perfectly for me. You'll have to wait for someone else to get on the forum though, because I have no idea how it works.

can be that youre an exception. I guess Anatolymik will have a look into this, if you call him up nice and friendly

It should be on. For me its not though... don't know why

Tell me about it... too much of a headache

 

[johnspack]

Well, I'm able to use 270.61 + slihack 1.42, but very strange graphics corruption in crysis2. The game is dark, until I move and it gets brighter, stop moving and it goes darker again. Strange black blob follows me around on screen too. So close......

 

[johnspack]

Never mind, my install got corrupted. 270.61 is now working fine for me under win7 x64 using slihack 1.42. Will do further testing.

 

[gandulfy]

A little more info here,

My crash happens whenver I play any game, almost instantly the right screen will go blank and the other 2 screens will freeze (right screen is on second graphics card). This seems to only happen when I run in nvidia surround mode (5770x1080). I did clean installs of everything and I was able to run stable using "SLI" mode with a single monitor.

Is GPU-Z still showing OpenCL disabled with 1.42 slipatch?

About OpenCL not showing:

I have the same issue using a GTX 295, but not on a 8800GTS 512. I think the issue is either W1zzy needs to update the GPU-Z database, or OpenCL is not reporting itself correctly. Rest assured it is working fine, you can verify this by using an OpenCL application or by using Everest

Maybe that's your case also, the 560ti is a new card.

did you try SLIPatch 1.2? try if you didnt. i need it to know.
if you use v1.0 3d surround is ok?
