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

Mussels · Feb 28, 2010

this modification only allows SLI to work on non-SLI certified motherboards. you still have to follow nvidias rules for SLI otherwise.

That means two matching cards with the same amount of ram - no exceptions.

but i can use a powerless one for physX ?
can i combine for example a 8600gt (phisX) with a gts 250 ?

As Mussels said it has nothing to do with the patch and SLI. EOD.

Hi!

Do I have to uninstall the old 196. drivers or I can just install 196.75 over the old ones?

Thank you again , BOSS!

What did you do it? Download latest drivers and install them over the old ones?

Thank you!

anatolymik · Mar 3, 2010

All of you simply have to install the drivers as usual in normal mode

Hi

Thanks for your hard work on this patch.

I have a problem i installed 2 9600GT ( msi in master, gainward in slave) on a P7P55D-LE (16x + 4x). I installed last nvidia driver and applied 0.7a patch sli.

I rebooted but no sli activated... Where is the problem ?
Maybe the loader ? I choose the good option at the boot, i don't understand what's wrong...

Thanks for help

Edit : GPUZ detect the 2 card but SLi disable....

galeuk · Mar 4, 2010

Please an idea for my problem ?

use windows 7 x64, and not xp professional

galeuk · Mar 4, 2010

I use Win7 x64.... Why do you say i'm using WinXP pro ?

i also encountered that error with win xp professional once,and therefore thought that you might use XP (its still more common also

).... if you use win7 x64,tho, it may be another problem. you may need to wait for anatolymik or sweetsnelda... they are the masters, if someone knows, why it wont work,then its them

galeuk · Mar 4, 2010

Thanks for all. I wait the masters

it will really help if you edit your system specs to let us see your hardware.
