How to SLI FX4800 on Asus Sabertooth P67

thamch · Feb 14, 2011, 11:51 AM

I just bought a new RIG but I'm not able to get this 2 cards to be SLIed.
The SLI Bridge is connected and I've check the ACPI and it do have the Nvidia SLI Certificate installed.

Graphic Card:
HP nVidia Quadro FX4800 BIOS 62.00.77.00.05

Driver tried:
Quadro Driver v266.45 - no SLI Enabled option
Quadro Driver v259.81 - no SLI Enabled option
Quadro Driver v191.66 - no SLI Enabled option, tried with and without SLIPatch_v1.0_final.

Please help.

Any suggestions or solutions?

Melvis · Feb 16, 2011, 07:54 AM

these cards are old now days? i would suggest going way back in drivers to the 180.XX and see what happens?

thamch · Feb 16, 2011, 08:36 AM

Melvis, thanks for the reply. However the oldest driver for Win 7 x64 is 190.38. Can't go any older.

Melvis · Feb 16, 2011, 08:56 AM

O ok for windows 7? that i didn't know, fair enough, then i wouldn't be to sure. Have you tried it under XP yet?

By chance does the so called sli bridge that comes with that mobo say on it SLI or is just the light copper colored ASUS bridge like the one in this review http://www.guru3d.com/imageview.php?image=28306

If it looks like that it is a crossfire bridge not a sli bridge.Sli bidges is always a dark brown or black and has SLI in big white letters,Try the bridges that came with the cards.

and they are "smaller" where they grab the sli fingers

thamch · Feb 16, 2011, 12:17 PM

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately the card doesn't comes with any SLI Bridge cable. I shall check with my seller if they do have spare SLI bridge for me to test. But according to the motherboard manual, it comes with the ASUS SLI Bridge connector.

could you take a picture and show us?

use www.techpowerup.org and copy the IMG link under the picture and insert here

overclocking101 · Feb 16, 2011, 01:23 PM

the ribbon in the pic that H8 posted IS an ASUS SLI BRIDGE. I have 2 of them exactly like it. msi and asus sli bridges look like crossfire connectors except the 3/4way sli bridge. I would say I thought the quado 4800's did not sli correctly. but i could be wrong. also check the mainboard AND bios for pci-e disable jumpers/option

thamch · Feb 16, 2011, 02:06 PM

Here is the picture of the SLI Bridge connector:

Is this SLI Bridge or X-Fire Bridge?

H82LUZ73 · Feb 16, 2011, 02:19 PM

yep that is a SLI connector( wish they would have kept them black)Try installing it in reverse of what it is now,Could also be a bad connector lord knows i got 2 bad ones with a mobo ounce.

Thanks for the reply. I had read the manual and there is no special jumper or bios settings to enable the SLI. It has been enabled by default. I guess.

I've used the Everest Ultimate and in the ACPI BIOS, the SLI Cert is installed.

Had tried reverse it. But still fail. Will try to ask the dealer for extra SLI connector for testing.
I wonder if the FX4800 can be SLIed on a non certified motherboard?

thamch · Feb 17, 2011, 12:45 AM

Tested the SLI Bridge on Z800 running dual Quadro 5000 Series, it works instantly once the machine is power up.

Looks like Nvidia had disable the SLI on uncertified mobo.

overclocking101 · Feb 17, 2011, 09:11 PM

on the page you linked it shows the fx4xxx cards sli on those systems, maybe nvidia decided not to allow sli with them unless its from and oem?? just sounds like something nvidia would do

I would expect so. Anybody has any guide on how to extract out the HP Z800 SLI cert from the BIOS and import it into my Sabertooth UEFI?

Hello, 1 card of FX4800 can run properly on the Sabertooth P67. I can't do the SLI with 2 x FX4800.
Why this board, because it looks sexy and 5 years warranty !

I'm using Corsair AX850. My board is SLI certified. But can't SLI both HP FX4800.
Yes, it will be 8x with 2 PCIe. But I can't SLI it now, so I had removed one of the card. In the process of selling the card.

I was asking if you can prove this just because, yor cpu as a grafic processor inside
and maybe is this working, and not the quadro. something like gpu_z is better.
I think you have tried the card separatley one o one and both are working right?
Well i can't understand why is not working on my system, i have tried to patch
whit sli cert. no way. I need to try on some p67/x58 chip to have absolutley
certainty it work.
Other try ,and i'm serching for that, is flashing whit pny bios, the card
if there are hp restriction, this can solve the problem.
