that's what I tried. I'm going to try it again though later this afternoon. I think it may have been another problem - my 580's develop a "ghost in the machine" a graphical rendering problem that arises out of nowhere sometimes that causes artifacts and crashes. I see it only in game, and I hadn't been able to launch a game until I reverted back to my old drivers which revealed the problem. The fix is to unplug all power from teh system for 20 seconds or so to let whatever the problem is clear. That might have been it. I will repost later when I am back at my home PC to say if it worked or not.

That was the problem, sorry to clutter the thread. I don't recall what brand the powersupply is but I think it is 1000w or 1050w.

If you can't activate virtualization then you can't use the Hypersli patch, you will have to use the older SLI 1.5 beta patch...

What processor do you have Intel or Amd....why can't you activate virtualization?
I know that that hypersli wasn't working on AMD but Anatolymic was working on a fix...not sure if that is done yet.

I confirm that the 3way SLI with GTX 570 is finally working and solved.
It wasn't a Hypersli or driver related issue, but just a stupid monitor connection.
If the monitor is connected to the main pci-e card (closest to the cpu) the driver hangs.
Moved the cable DVI to the lowest card (the latest installed..) it simply activate.

A big thank you to Anatolymik that helps me with several efforts.

Woo Hoo 3way SLI rocks!

Anatolymik asked confition from Federicoz and he confirmed working sli on amd platform with hypersli 0.7.

@Chuckykilo

If you can't enable vt you have to use modded drivers since hypersli works on legacy mode. (Slipatch works instead).

Work on Crosshair IV??

Anyone know will this work on a Crosshair IV? Read some people said because 890 chipset is similar to 990FX chipset its possible...

Thanks.

i wrote it some sites before. The 990Fx is only a rebrandet 890Fx

the only thing is that asus and 2 or 3 other vendors have now licenced SLI for this 990Fx chip and not for the 890Fx.

and thats why i think that HYPERSLI 0.7 works so great for me. when SLI work on licenced 990Fx it must work on 890Fx also.^^

I still dont have the SLI option in controll pannel but i can enable multiple gpu and see that NVIDIA SLI is enabled in GPU-Z
But it only enables x2 SLI which means that it runs two cards in synce per slot not Quad SLI but i have two cards in each slot so i want to run quad SLI 4GPU running together instead of 2 and 2 seprate
I alos dont have Phys or Cuda in the nvda pannel

does anyone know if i installed the stringinstall zip or the LHALmod zip would that help and give me the SLI certificate that i am missing ???

Not going to happen!

My Crosshair IV Formula will not post with two 285GTXs. As soon as the second GTX285 has its 6pin power removed or the card removed the system posts. The board has leds to tell where its stalling during the posting and the VGA led was the last one to light up. Kind of shame. The board is racist towards nvidia multigpu setups. I was so much looking forward to getting sli going on an AMD board but not going to happen!

Thanks.

Definetely not like nVidia cards..

Sorry I'm bumping my own thread but I just wanted to report that I tried another nvidia based card in that slot and it wouldn't post. So then I tried an ATI based card and it posted!

So I guess I won't be able to try this mod out after all :(

Go to Nvidia control panel, the bar on top has 3d settings tag, open it and uncheck show SLI indicator. The bar shows the amount of the data share between cards, useful to understand if cpu limit or gpu limit.
Sli patch was used with older drivers together with mod patch. Now Hypersli works with virtualization technology, if available on the mainboard, and don't need mod patch to the official drivers.

there are 2 users including me who have no problems with the croshair IV. and since the 990fx is only an rebranded (and sli licenced) 890fx, sli have to work perfect on this board.

so what slots you use? what powersuply you have? and have you install an sli bridge cable?

Oxy93n is right, you're doing something wrong and we need more info on your setup if you
need help.
I have the CH 4 too with 3 gtx 570 and works really good.
Post info.

Hey, thanks for all the effort with HyperSli! :)

Im having one or two issues, but I believe it might be simple to solve when I can norrow it down...

----

I have an Asus p5k (vanilla) with Vdroop mod and a core 2 quad q6600 @ 3.4GHz. It's a P35 chipset with 2 PCIe slots @ 16x and 4x.

I have 2 GTX 280's both at stock voltages and clocks.

I have a Hiper Type R Mk II 880W Power Supply.

I do not yet have an SLi bridge at the moment. But I have ordered one on ebay, and it should arrive either later today or tomorrow.

----

Some games work, and some do not. I realise performance will be slightly lower due to not having the bridge yet, but I thought I would get my system setup and ready for the bridge when it arrives.

Call of Duty Black Ops and Modern Warfare 3 both work fine. MSI Afterburner shows GPU Usage on both cards, so SLi is definately active.

When I try to load Battlefield 3 or the Unigine Heaven benchmark, it will either crash on load with a black screen, or show desktop flickering on the bottom half of both of my monitors, and then crash. It never loads either, the crash happens just as you would expect it to show anything on screen.

Since I can see SLi working in COD, should I assume it's a bug, driver, card, or other issue?

I've tried both the latest 290.36 and the 285 drivers. Same issue on both. I am using HyperSLi 0.7.

Any help would be apprechiated! :cool:

i wonder how u can activate SLI without sli bridge. i thinked with latest driver sli only works with bridge. only older drivers accept without.

did i missed something or im totally wrong ^^
