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

Jstn7477 · Jan 9, 2010

First 3DM06 run. EDIT: Note that I do not have an SLI Bridge, this is all PCIe 2.0 x16 on each card. Normal single card score is like ~14,000.

It is rly risky to bake a board in an normal oven

There are special ovens available for this process, luckily my school has one. I hope that im not gonna need that in the future xD

Hi, I`m from Germany and new to this forum.
I`ve read a lot in the last few weeks about enabling SLi and I ´ve done it successfully on my Gigabyte EP45-UD3P with the modded 190.62 Forceware driver.
My english is not really great, so I`m not sure if the following steps are right to use the new 195.62 driver:

-I have installed the 190.62 driver and SLi is working fine (Win7 x64, Test Mode, UAC off)
-do I only need to install the SLi Patch 0.42 and then install the new nVidia Driver, without uninstalling anything?

Thanks for your help and specially for your great work !

Never mind, I can't be bothered anymore

Swamp-Thing · Jan 10, 2010

I just installed the 195.62 and then patched with the 0.42, one restart and SLi is working :nutkick:

Thanks to anatolymik :respect:

But, is there no need to use the Windows Test Mode ? It is automatically turned off

it's a pity that just two days ago thought came my mind how to make SliStringInstaller completely, when there is no need for it anymore.
interesting that i wasn't able to it a half year ago.
