4th card will not add much performance as it does not scale well. You just wasted $.

I can't imagine the gains going from 3 to 4-way are worth the addition of a fourth card anyway. Use it as a PhysX card or a dedicated folder.

X58 with BIOS mod, not getting SLI working

Hi, I'm new to this and got stuck... hope someone can help me!

I have a Gigabyte GA-EX58-DS4 and got a BIOS mod for SLI (and SLIC2.1).
AIDA64 gives this info on ACPI/DSTD table:
SLI Certification 987134512781Genuine NVIDIA Certified SLI Ready Motherboard for ASUS RAMPAGE II EXT 3287-Copyright 2008 NVIDIA Corporation All Rights Reserved-765289891023(R)

Now I first tried HALmod 0.9, but still didnt get SLI active.
Then I found HyperSLI, so I got put on Virtualisation Tech (I had VT-x disabled before) and tried installing that. Didnt work.

What is wrong here? Thanks in advance!

Also see my thread on MDL:

should I try the original BIOS and a new Windows install (to have the hal.dll normal again etc) ?? Maybe then hyperSLI will work?

Did you install it as admin ?
Any big software changes like different anti-virus or something ?

Hmm not sure what could be the problem...

Well since you gone so far try this:

-Uninstall everything, HyperSLI first then the drivers (reboot as many times needed)
-After everything is uninstalled go to device manager and uninstall both cards. (make sure it doesn't download and install drivers automatically)
-After both cards uninstalled shutdown and remove 1 of the cards
-Start up, install 1 card, install the drivers and shutdown (restart as many times as needed)
-Add the other card and install it (do the restarts if asked)
-Install HyperSLI (make sure you run it as admin) and follow the steps
-Finally go to control panel and try to enable it

good luck

ok so i did half of that until i get to the step where i install the second card after i restarted from installing the first card, when i put it in it wont install, it just automatically installed (microsoft coporation - WDDM v1.1) instead of normal installed drivers..im so frustrated right now...didn't think a reformat would be such a headace...in the pictures it will show they're being viewed as different types of the same card when they're the same..

well, i got them installed as the same now, but still no luck with Hyper SLI...i have a feeling it has to do something with the virtulization technology i remember in the past when i had it working that VT-x didn't show up in CPU-z when hypersli is working, but now its showing in CPU-z like hyper sli is havint trouble embedding itself or something.

I dont get it - what SLI driver??? That's a different driver than the GeForce driver? I dont think it exists? And how did you enable it??

Still dont have it working here. Are you willing to read my story a few posts above this?

Probably got some fast boot feature enabled on bios.
Might want to check that.
