Will this work with a GTX 660 2GB and a GTX 660ti 2GB?

I've read that different architectures will not work together. Does this apply to the non-OEM version of the 660 (GK106) compared to the 660ti(GK104)?

driver list is slow need 304. version or higher

hi anatolymik
the drivers are working in sli mode however. the 290-302 version are very slow when I loaded heavy gemoetry in the maya
is it possible for you to mod the driver 305 or higher.
sorry for the trouble. :)

DifferentSLI 301.42 modded driver. (Enabling different cards in SLI)

To install:
1) Install original drivers (it's neccessary to install the same version as modded driver)
2) Put cards together you want to SLI
3) Reboot
4) Download the modded driver
5) Log in as Administrator
6) UAC must be disabled
7) run Install.cmd
8) reboot

BE AWERE. YOU SHOULD PUT CARDS TOGETHER YOU WANT TO TRY IN SLI BEFORE YOU INSTALL MODDED DRIVER TO WINDOWS DETECT NEW HARDWARE.


290.53 Windows Vista&7 x64
296.10 Windows Vista&7 x64
301.42 Windows Vista&7 x64

There is a link to a movie and screenshots below.

Don't get too mad if you use this and you crash, bluescreen or get errors. This is clearly going to have growing pains. It is a very worthwhile idea though.. Nice work. ^^

different SLI

They have been losing sales thanks to contract with Intel being broken after Skt 775k, plus only being able to produce the NF 200 SLI bridge for both intel and AMD boards just to support SLI since Crossfire is all driver capability and auto supported by AMD and Intel chipsets.

hello sir.. i just want to tell u about SLI..can i sli with EVGA gtx 680 FTW 4gb DDR5 and my ASUS gtx 680 DCU ii TOP 2gb ??? some say it cannot sli coz the ram is different.. it is true..

2. can i sli gtx 690 and gtx 680.. i wandering they have same chip. but which HyperSLI can i use it??:ohwell:

what gpus u are using???

Am actually using 680m sli in my panther 2.0. It dosent support 2 gpus atm, but this 301.42 driver allowes me to enable it. But Im currently playing GW2, and its a really bad driver for that game. I even getting a warning message in the beginning that says the driver is bad optimized for the game.

From what I've read... Yes. :)

Ok, silly me, I found out it was Malwarebytes site blocking enabled, but I can't enabled SLI without getting the BSOD

TBH, I can't help you much. I tried a 580 and a 560ti and they worked together as the 580 being primary only for a little while before things went mental. However, I found that having the 560ti primary gave better reliability, but a noticeable difference in performance and the 580 was only using about 50-70% when the 560ti was using ~100% (according to afterburner). I gave up just because I wanted a computer that worked, when I wanted it to and I didn't have the time to try all the little things so I sold the 560ti.

When this works though, it is just brilliant-especially as I had the 560ti just lying around as a spare because of upgrading from it.
