How To: Enable SLI on pre-i7/i5 hardware

[TH€_BR@!N]

you think it's not slipatch?

i use sli patch 0.9b and start as admin, and install without problems, if i restart i see on bootmanager the new entry "boot with sli", and i run windows (no problems - no nv driver).

is there a possibility to check the sli patch?

Gpu-z should show "Enabled" (2 GPUs) under the SLI section, for both cards

also, if the "physx" tab in the NV control panel is suddenly named "SLI and Physx", it has worked. There should be options visible now, to turn it on and off

if you install, and use Windows 7, it should report upon the first bootup after installation, that it "has found an SLI", if that didnt happen, there probably went sth wrong

if SLI enabled

 

[TH€_BR@!N]

^^ok, i will check with gpu-z.

if SLI enabled

IDK, i thought that SLI was shown as enabled as soon as i used the hack... but there are other methods, and the new aida 64 does also read it, if im not wrong

use win 7 x64, that seems to be the OS that enables SLI most often
if that doesnt work, you may have to wait for a new patch

1. ) Deleted curent drivers in control panel.
2. ) Restarted
3. ) Boot in safe mod
4. ) clean all nvidia sections with driver sweeper.

8.17.12.5922 maybe thats in the device manager ... under the gts 450gts section

[killakee]

no need i think

 

[killakee]

do you know if there are others with the Gf450 series that has this working ?
by the way other places say that it only works with older drivers ?

 

[anatolymik]

i dont know

 

[opapis]

09b everything stable with 258.96 & 260.63 (vantage furmark, mafia just cause 2) except Dawn of War 2. keeps crashing to desktop after 5 minutes with sli enabled, and after 15 minutes with sli disabled (control panel) but in sli mode. Anyone has specific help for DOW 2 and Sli or Sli Patch?

 

[anatolymik]

problems like this have nothing to do with slipatch

just to inform you, my sensor bug was in the end related to myself... i accidently configured Everest to take sensor data from the Nvidia driver, and that somehow affected sensor readings for all programs... now i can see all sensors again, and it was not your bug as suggested

 

[opapis]

is there ANY reason i would want to use 08b instead of 09b?

 

[killakee]
