As AthlonX2 said, you must use latest patch version (v0.9b). If it does still not work, and you're not using it, I would advice you to try with the sli bridge on.

Regards and good luck

i did use 0.9b and an sli bridge then without (PCI-E) then with 2 bridges same effect. no option

Hmm, guess I'll have to get my win7 install running again. Just ran a session of fallout:nv with the 260.99s, very nice performance, and I just leveled up again! I wonder if there is an issue with the win7 version of the driver?

soundood · Oct 29, 2010, 08:05 AM

running win 7 64 bit here with the 260.99 drivers, patched with the latest patch.

all fine, had a couple of crashes to desktop with BC2, but i think thats the game.

was also playing all day yesterday, so two crashes to desktop in 8 hours in no big thing really

johnspack · Oct 29, 2010, 08:18 AM

Yeah, the .99s seem stable to me, just finished a really long session in fallout:nv, yes another one... and no problems.

bbjayo · Oct 29, 2010, 02:02 PM

anyone tried 261.00 win 7 x64 yet?

CONGRATULATIONS Anatolymik!!!

Hope you'll have a very happy neverending marriage

Thank YOU for all your hard, great, patient, and kind support!

johnspack · Oct 29, 2010, 07:36 PM

Congrats Anotolymik! Now you have even harder work ahead!

Sinzia · Oct 29, 2010, 09:42 PM

Congratz on the wedding!

A side note- I just got an early xmas present, an MSI 470GTX Twin Frozr II, I've stopped using SLi for now, due to the fact that the 470 kills the SLi 9800GT's I had.

Thanks to everyone thats worked on the project!

Sinzia · Oct 29, 2010, 10:02 PM

The prices should come down even more once they release the GTX 580 or whatever they're calling it, nvidia said that it does in fact exist and should be out soon. When the price falls even more, I'll get a second, maybe a third one even.

yep i got to say 2 x 470's in SLI is one of the best chioces i made this year, both with EK waterblocks.

Has anyone any idea if this works on an asus p5q-e? ive installed the patch but it still says "sli certification not present". Ive seen some posts saying that sometimes it says that untill a second card is installed (which i don't have yet, on the way). Seen one post in this thread saying that it says that even though sli is working.

wermad · Oct 31, 2010, 02:50 AM

still having the same issues I had w/ beta 0.9, wont come out of sleep mode, have to force to shutoff, and goes through startup recovery. switched back to 0.8b and 257.21. Thanks for the effort, Ill stick with the older patch and drivers until I switch to an i7 w/ native sli.

elbubi · Oct 31, 2010, 01:09 PM

Sad to hear that wermad, you are no the first one I read is having problems with CH-IV-F.

Just to think outloud, I would try to check if may be, just may be, any "loader" issue may be interfiering with patched profile (waking up issues are frecuently related to loaders), Shuting off problem is a different story, but I don't even have a clue of what story it is

.

Don't give up! Don't let Nvidia win this unfair war (if there is any "fair" one...)

If 09b+260.99 combo is working fine for a bunch of people, it should work for you too

Crossedfingers for your success

I have the same problem with you even SLI is enabled. But until now, I still have no idea how to resolve this.

Guys what tool do you use to check that info? Everest, right? Just curious to know what mines says

johnspack · Nov 1, 2010, 12:05 PM

Everest does not show the certificate with the newer patches. The only way to be sure is having both cards in, and seeing if the sli option shows up in the nvidia control panel. It's been that way since patch 0.7 I believe.

elbubi · Nov 1, 2010, 01:20 PM

Thanks for spreading your wisdom john

lokicat · Nov 1, 2010, 08:39 PM

Hi All,

Has anyone had success with the SLI patch on a system that also has the Lucid Hydra solution?

I have an MSI Big Bang Fuzion running on Win7 x64 with 2x GTX 460 cards and cannot get the patch to work. Here is what I have tried:

1) Disabled the Hydra driver
2) Install 260.99 drivers
3) Run the 0.9B patch (confirms patch was installed)
4) Reboot and select the SLI option for Windows boot (SLI bridge installed)
5) Cannot see SLI option next to Physx option

While I can use Hydra for a psuedo SLI, it doesn't work that great on games even though it kicks butt on benchmarks. I also believe all x16 PCI slots go through the Hydra chip as a bridge similar to an NF200 chip.

Any suggestions or anyone have success with this configuration?

Thanks
