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

[r3b00t3r]

everyone who has instability issues with latest driver, what version of slipatch do you use?

The last one, 0.8 beta 7 x64.

 

[anatolymik]

try to use 0.7 and 0.8 versions and tell me result.
i keep working on it

 

[r3b00t3r]

0.8 that's what I'm using now. Do you want me to try 0.7? Which files, these one?

SLIPatch 0.7 Win7 x64R2 alpha

yes. this one

SLIPatch 0.7 Win7 x64R2 alpha

 

[r3b00t3r]

Well, it took just a couple of minutes for a black screen, and a reboot and other 5 minutes to get a freeze, with 0.7 x64R2 alpha and 258.96.

I downloaded again 258.96 before install, just to be sure.

Now I am with the same 0.7 and 257.21 drivers - no problems until this moment, but I'm going to play some GRID to check it.

Any news, I'll let you now.

Hi guys and anatolymik especially.

I had DFI P45 T2RS TURBO/Q6600/4GB DDR2/SLI 460 GTX768

and i can tell you there is a problem with the hack(patch 0.8b) or the driver(258.96) with , i had black/white screens.

Now i have maximus formula 3/i5 760/4gb ddr2/SLI 460 GTX768 and no more problems.

any question just ask.

Thanx for the experience because i have some days trying to solve the problem and modding inf for all the drivers.

dr.noob can you do something?

 

[dr.noob]

dr.noob can you do something?

the only thing i can do is to advise you.

At this moment, hack is only working but you cant use 258.96.

So, dont buy 460 for sli, with one gpu it works great.

i want to find out. it's too bad there's not Sveetsnelda. i have to find out by myself. i dont have x58 platform as him.
i hoped you could install slipatch on your new platform (p55) and tell me result

no one has done that yet?

i need some time, one/two days at least.

nope. no one has done.
it would be great if you will do it

 

[dr.noob]

not one day, and not two.

i just installed the patched and copy those 3 files to windows/system 32.

i did the boot with the sli x64 setting

and then...no more sli available.

very intresting. this can make me crazy.
what do you copy these 3 files for? if you run installsli.cmd they will be copied automaticlly
can you try other drivers. 19x for example

i thought i had to copy them, but thats not the problem as you just said the are copied automatically.

Sry, i have to go now.

But i did test with p45 with all the drivers available in nvidia site which i mod the inf of course, and...

258.96 black screen

197.41 fps drop/freeze 1/2s while doing vantage and playing BC2

the other drivers stop responding

If you want me to test with p55 i need time, but no today.

ok. you are boss. i want you to test slipatch with older drivers. 197.15 for example. but not with 200 series

 

[dr.noob]

and...

i did the unistall and reboot, and now its fine again.

 

[ozzy]

it's because of one card

everyone who has instability issues with latest driver, what version of slipatch do you use?

0.8 beta and i use nvidia 195.47

 

[johnspack]

Patch 0.8 Beta confirmed working with 258.96 whql on my platform. Both xp64 and win7 64. Just tried Cryostasis and my fps doubled over a single card.
