Thank you. Yeah based on what I am seeing it sounds like you're right. I'll probably pursue this through the use of NTB; my goal was to use a remote GPU from inside a VM on a different machine as a rendering device. I haven't found much info online on any success stories on that except for using...

Sorry I did not noticed you had posted your config, I have the attention span of a 5 year old ;). Here's a list of tips that I can give you. Personally on my system I am able to achieve around 99% performance from host baseline, regardless if I use NUMA or single CPU. Exceptionally important...

Well done, happy to see someone take initiative! As for the different approach with the instructions I think at some point the driver started to use a different register right before the TEST but I don't recall much more other than that :) Post your libvirt / qemu config and I will take a...

My patch only addresses SLI compatibility at the motherboard level. As long as the GPU's are a match (e,g 1070 with 1070) it should work just fine as majority of people have reported it to be working. I'm still pretty sure the issue is the same as I described on 117 but @XeroZen hasn't confirmed...

I could be wrong but check the discussion that I had on page 117 and compare my screenshots to whatever you're seeing on your machine.

That's wishful thinking. They need to do whatever NVIDIA tells them to, which includes paying NVIDIA a fee for "SLI certification" so that they can use the NVIDIA SLI logo on their marketing/box. When the Mobo vendor refuses to do so there's no SLI support at the driver level and people will end...

Personally I did not put much effort into understanding how they are validating SLI support (I am pretty sure it's not as simple as checking the ACPI DSDT SLI entry but I could be wrong). However, I can confirm that simply changing the Mobo model will not do the trick. If you want to play around...

DO NOT DO GLOBAL REPLACEMENTS LIKE THAT. You messed up a bunch of routines of your driver so naturally you will BSOD. Never blindly patch code like that unless you know what you're doing.

Assuming it was patched correctly that shouldn't happen. I have experience that same exact issue but only when I use the same NVME for both booting from bare metal as well as booting from a VM (Windows detects a hardware change and ends up reinstalling stuff which sometimes leads to the GPU not...

Legend has it in you look in the mirror and say SLI 3 times the hexadecimal offsets show up on the mirror. Don't believe me? Proof: 430.86 ===================== 000000000027E86D: 84 C7 000000000027E86E: C0 43 000000000027E86F: 75 24 000000000027E870: 05 00 000000000027E871: 0F 00...

Lets trace some rays: 425.31 ===================== 00000000002C32A5: 84 C7 00000000002C32A6: C0 43 00000000002C32A7: 75 24 00000000002C32A8: 05 00 00000000002C32A9: 0F 00 00000000002C32AA: BA 00 00000000002C32AB: 6B 00

Thanks for the feedback. Temperature wise SLI sucks for me because there's barely any space between the slots, so the card on top suffocates and temps go as high as 86 with 1080 TI's. Yeah it happens. I was banned before season 1 came out (I appealed but they refused to unban me) so I...

1) Nice find, EfiGuard looks fucking epic. 2) I got banned from Apex a few weeks ago for using a VM (I can confirm it was because of KVM since I wasn't using any unsigned drivers or doing any sort of funny business, KVM hidden state was on in order to avoid -43) 3) Just out of curiosity, how...

Does anyone know what happens if let's say you have two 1080TI's and one 1070? Would the NVIDIA control panel allow to enable SLI on the 1080TI's or would the option be grayed out?

What @P!nkpanther said plus maintaining offsets for Windows XP for just a selected few it's not really worth my time. I don't even use my own patches anymore, I only keep the current offsets up to date because there's a few people that still rely on it.
