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

    I can also confirm that the 270 beta drivers don't work with either V1.0 or V1.2. Sli is selectable, but there's rapid flickering when playing a game.

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

    Yes, I've seen that one, too. I've only been seeing them on the cold starts. My system is highly overclocked, but I've always been stable until recently. I'm going to try the new 260.xx driver later tonight and see what happens.

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

    anatolymik and his crew only address the official driver releases. You have tried to use the 260.xxx Beta release, so SLI may or may not work for you when you do that. If they spend time working on a Beta driver release, then find that things have changed once the official driver is...

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

    There's always a delay between the release of a new game and the SLI profile to go with it. If you know the type of game engine the game is using, you can rename the executable to an older game that uses that same engine (or try renaming to other titles from the same dev). For instance, I...

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

    You should be using 3d Mark Vantage for benchmarking. 3dmark06 is more cpu dependent, so it's obsolete as a benchmarking tool. For me, those synthetic tests mean nothing. Try benchmarking your games with one card and in SLI for a real test. Regards:)
