I bought two MSI 460GTX Hawk Talon Attacks (HTA) for my rig. Unfortunately, one of them was bugged so I sent it for an RMA. MSI was nice enough to return not a 460GTX HTA, but a 470GTX upgrade. Score!..... I mean crap....... can't SLI now.

Until I found this site! Followed the instructions with the latest 310.70 drivers and no issues so far. What an awesome work anatolymik! Thanks!

Here's the pic showing the successful SLI:

I Ran Unigine Heaven's Benchmark on heavy settings and got almost double FPS, indicating that SLI is doin its job. Spectacular!

Solo MSI GTX470 stats:

MSI GTX470 + MSI GTX460 HTA SLI stats:

Something I noticed that I had to look into was that once you use anatolymik's MOD and reboot, you'll get the Test Mode, Windows 7, Build 7601 watermark on the lower right corner of your screen. I don't know of an easy fix to making that go away for aesthetic reasons. There's a hotfix that Microsoft made to make it go away using the command: bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING OFF, but it messes up the driver.

Thanks again! SUCH A GODLY FIX!!!
