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

[meran]

unfortunately sli patch ver 0.7 just doesnt work on 32bit version

I'm afraid I don't have a solution on hand, but there are two things:

1. When your video is lost, try to press your Numlock key. Does it still react, i.e. turn on and off?
2. Try to temporarily use the unmodified driver and see if it still happens. If it does, we can at least rule out that the modified ForceWare is causing this.

With modded ForceWare Numlock responds with blank screens until Ctrl + Alt + Delete are pressed then the system locks up.

Same as above when using stock ForceWare.

This is good.

Import the .reg file in the attached zip, reboot, then make your video go blank again.
But this time, hold down the Ctrl key on the right side of your keyboard and press Scroll Lock twice.
You should get a blue screen if it worked. The data that is collected could be useful for debugging this problem.

man.. i understand your "anger" but its disrespectful to express comments like this "i WASTED.. .. OMG" .. this tool is provided as is.. with all good will from creators to help resolve problems, these last days i think they have spent much more hours than your "wasted" 12.. to help everyone not having their skills/knowledge to accomplish their own hack, to have a working/hacked sli setup.

 

[Arisu]

Here are both files

Thanks. I loaded the dump but the stack text isn't quite what I had hoped. Also it's just a mini dump rather than a kernel dump, but then, I'm not very good at this yet, so it doesn't matter that much. Need to find out how I can force it to load the ntoskrnl symbols for the ntoskrnp module first or I won't get anywhere...

Your best bet right now would be to wait for anatolymik's new SLIPatch.

sorry man but i just want to know why it doesn't run ,

 

[papatsonis]

some time ago (months) windows had updated some core component and sli patch had created bsods to many ppl, but i think anatolymic/sveet.. etc had patched with latest file, is there any chance you havent updated windows for long time???

edit : found it

 

[meran]

thanks but i just installed fresh copy of vista x64,no updates downloaded,
the win 7 32bit doesnt show bsod at boot just get straight to startup repair
,but i think the installer for the driver mod and the sli patch doesnt copy files for me ,so i did copied the sli patch 0.8b files to sys32 ,about the driver mod didnt replace the filed manually
as i searched the sys32 it has 4 copies of the nvixxxx file

Hey guys new to these forums,

I been running the previous patch w/ 257.21 super stable on my Asus CHIV F 890fx board and two gtx 470. I just recently did the latest update and its been very unstable.

-Initially, only one gpu was in use (corrected by applying changes/updates in the Nvidia cp)
-Start up recovery would come up on every boot and eventually crashed.
-Finally got it to work w/out start-up repair occurring, though I put my rig in sleep mode and either it would bsod, or would blank out w/ cursor only requiring powering off, or would take several minutes to wake.

I'm forced to go back to patch 0.8 and drivers 257.21 for now, its very stable. I'll be following for any updates.

Thanks.

Been reinstalling a few installs of windows. I'm ready to try the slipatch modder 1.1 on xp64, well almost... I'll see if I can get it to work, as the modded driver works for me under win7 64.

Accordding to my last post:

At least I got new MB, Asus Stricker II Extreme but I have done last test on my Asus P5Q-Pro:

Heaven Benchmark without SLI bridge:
scores 1817
min fps 17.7
avg fps 72.1
max fps 154.4

Heaven Benchmark with SLI bridge:
scores 2153
min fps 16.2
avg fps 85.5
max fps 192.6

I've done new test on Asus ES2 and... They are higher than my best score on P5Q-Pro with E8400@4,25GHz!
Now I have only @3,6GHz cause I must get it know each other better but my 2xGTX's 280 are on the same OC lvl.

So, score on P5Q-Pro was: 2153
new score is 2211 .... I know it isn't much better but... as I said IT IS ON 3,6 GHz - 650MHz lower than P5Q-Pro score and my memory isn't OC


EDIT:

Jeus... this MB is f....ing hard to OC or I'm doing something wrong

forceware
sli patch
modded forceware b3
and the x64 sli patch 1.1

its all great and pretty stable so far.
3dmark 06 got score of 14856

but for some reason while playing crysis b3 seems a bit slower thab b2. maybe its just me but i felt crysis ran smoother with b2 .

stalker soc runs awesome and dirt 2 does as well. but after you quit game ussually crashes pc while quitting game..?.


crysis sometimes crashes while making video changes

i got plenty more games to try out later thanks again, for all your guys hard work
