EVGA Releases SLI Enhancement Patch Version 8 (03.30.09)

btarunr · Mar 31, 2009, 04:37 PM

EVGA released another version of its SLI Enhancement Patch, version 8 (03.30.09), its third one for this month alone. The patch works in conjunction with the installed NVIDIA GeForce driver, in providing SLI support to games through SLI profiles. The support is game-specific, and each release of the patch expands the support-base. The new version is based on NVIDIA driver 182.46. The following games are added to the support list, apart from all the games already supported by the patch:

Battlefield Heroes
Stormrise
Weapons of Fate
Jumpgate Evolution
Age of Booty
Football Manager '05-'09

Registered EVGA users can download the patch from here.

Age of Booty? Was that when Yo! MTV Raps was still on the air?

Hmm battlefield heroes

Does this patch work with a single 295 GTX?

Castiel · Mar 31, 2009, 06:07 PM

Does this patch apply to all brands of cards or only EVGA?

The Witcher · Mar 31, 2009, 06:43 PM

Could someone please answer my question ?

What will be the fps gain with this patch installed ?

Are we speaking of a 50 fps more gain or just 6 or 10 ?

DrPepper · Mar 31, 2009, 06:57 PM

There will be if you have SLI.

That doesnt answer his question. He wants to know if it only works with EVGA video cards or does it work with all brands. (e.g. BFG, XFX, Sparkle, etc)

My suggestion is just download it and find out.

PP Mguire · Mar 31, 2009, 09:08 PM

Id say it works with all cards since they are all the same despite minor differences. Unless eVGA went all Natzi and have a bios detect or something.
