Why? If they Check now for example the L3 Cache (+Size): X58 -> Okay but LGA775 failed. Check is overrided if real nv-chipset found. like it was before. The Hack so far was based on the SLI String for X58 Boards.

Probably no real performance gain with the new beta driver, only a fix for hack SLI.
So why even update, other than to see if it will work with it or not.

I was really hoping we would get to the first Fermi drivers before they started the counter-measures.

I really don't see the point of them now, nvidia must know their chipset business is finished,

you would think they would just be happy to sell more cards...

for the sake of the experiment i installed new driver and copied nvlddmkm from older one (191) = SLI not work.
then i installed 191 driver and copied nvlddmkm from newest one (195) = SLI not wok
and i examined a little the new driver and the checks like previous

just an idea: keyword digital signature. otherwise SLI = nogo

Anatolymik, the slistringinstaller v2.0 works very well. I really like the uninstall option. It works a treat. I tried the 195.39 betas, no go with sli, even using the Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider program. Reinstalled the 191.07's and good to go. I used string installer 2.0 & halmod 0.9 on Win 7 64 bit build 7100. I need to get the full version of pro.

EDIT:
I tried the previous betas that were not WHQL signed, 186.08 & 191.03. Both betas installed and SLI was available. No go with the latest beta 195.39

Testmode was switched off? With F8-Programm no need for that.

Even hitting F8 to disable driver checking, SLI with 195.39 beta's is a no go. Something else going on there.
