Nvidia SLI Clubhouse



Might as well make this clubhouse, i will be ordering my second 470 the 1st

so this is for us who has/soon gets 2 or more Nvidia cards in SLI

Bring it on, and remember everyone is welcome to discuss this, not only sli owners

this is to share your experiences, pro's and con's about it

Drivers can be downloaded here = Drivers

a VERY good overclocking tool MSI Afterburner

if you wanna get the max out of your cards then go to this place in the MSIAfterburner folder :
MSIafterburner.CFG open it with wordpad or similar, change : enableunofficialoverclocking from 0 to 1 and save + exit

open afterburner, go to settings and check unlock voltage control, and then restart afterburner.

now you should be able to have some fun with you cards, BUT!!! its not all cards that support voltagecontrol and not all cards that you can overclock very good

and i take NO!!!! responsibility to whatever damage you do to you cards!!!!!!!!!

i will make a table list over the ones who has SLI

all you need to do is set up your details like this

Name | Cards | size(memory) | cpu | chipset

and i will add you

Interesting that this didn't exist earlier...

I will be a member soon! Stepping up my EVGA P55 LE to a FTW as we speak then plan to run two 460s when I can afford it, hopefully by the end of the year. I really can't believe I seriously want to run SLI (especially w Fermi) but I so do since the release of these cards.
