SLI with different cards

[Mlalala]

Hi,
did anyone test it with a GTX570 Phantom and a GTX 560 Phantom?
I tested it with the 310.70 driver, but i get a bluescreen.

Motherboard:
Asus Saberthooth P67

I also installed HyperSLI

please help me

Why not 1. Use newer drivers 2. Switch which lanes they are in

The newer drivers crashes too.
No bluescreen, but the computer freeze.
The GTX 570 is in lane(PCIE) 1 and the 560 in lane 2, or what do you mean ?

660 + 660TI Not Working

I have tried all the drivers starting from the newest driver all the way to 310.70 still with no go. I have also tried switching the slots my video card is in and everytime the same thing happens. Everything looks great until i enable sli then my resolution goes to 800x600 and nvidia control panel stops responding then crashes. When i try to access the control panel again via right click it isn't there anymore. Please help i just bought this card to sli with my 660 and nvidia is such scumbags they wont let it.

Sabertooth is SLI/Crossfire ready. You should not need HyperSLI.
Maybe that's the problem?

This was posted a few pages back, maybe relevant to your situation?:

It doesn't matter which card your monitor is hook up to but for this mismatch SLI to work, from my experience you must have the monitor connected to the lower card

My setup consist of 2 570s and 1 470
The 570s are on top and the 470 is at the bottom, the 470 is at the bottom to get good unrestricted airflow but to run Tri-SLI I have to have the monitor connected to it or else I'd get the BSOD

That's all I got for today, everyone take care.

Is your Motherboard supporting SLI?
Otherwise you need HyperSLI.

I also test it without HyperSLI
Some people speak about the fact, that only one driver version operates.
Maybe I need to tested every driver version

Jo, you have the same problem as me

 

[livingin360]

I wonder if this is the fix. I should try to install a genuine version of windows. http://www.overclock.net/t/1151913/nvidia-control-panel-crashes-when-enabling-sli

I think we need to wait for a fixed version of this.
Unfortunatly there are too much configurations

Any chance this problem could be caused from a vram size difference between the cards? I have installed genuine windows to no avail. The same thing happens.

Not at all, thats the point of Different SLI, to SLI different cards and/or cards with different vram

MAke sure you complety unistall any previous drivers of when you had 1 GPU only... use control panel.. reboot... go to control panel again check if anything there left and reboot and then use driversweeper and reboot again. After that see 1st post of this topic.

Hey, Will there be any more updates for this?

 

[tux_topo]

Asus GTX 660 (GK106) + Asus GTX 680 (GK104) not working??
I´ve tried, but once i enable SLI, the resolution goes to hell
Rebooting, fix it, but disable SLI...

Any fix?

 

[McGizzle]

Try switching the cards around

I had to do that with my 670 & 680 (680 on top)

 

[tux_topo]

So, the primary GPU will be the 660, and the secondary the 680?
Meaning that when using only 1 GPU, i will be using the 660... right?
I hope that a future release can fix that, and use the 680 when using only 1 gpu...

 

[sensai]

Any eta on 320.49?

 

[oktay5000]

can i sli 680 4gb with 670 4gb????with this ?

 

[kkhaial]

can i sli 680 4gb with 670 4gb????with this ?

Yes, as its the same architecture

 

[kriadsn]

Can I sli gts450 1gb with gtx650 2gb??

 

[DiogoCDS19]

Can I sli gts450 1gb with gtx650 2gb??

Doubt it would work, but if you got them just give it a try.

560Ti and 660Ti

Hello,

I wanted to inform you that I was unable to make GIGABYTE GTX 560TI 1GB work with GiGABYTE GTX 660Ti 2GB.

I have tried switching cards around in slots.

I installed (among others) nVidia official drivers 320.18, restarted, ran Install.cmd, restarted, went to nVidia control panel, SLI was recognized and after switching to Best Performance the result was:
a) 660Ti in first slot - 800x600, Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate doesn't recognize cards at all
b) 560Ti in first slot BSOD.

I did not use driver sweeper. I did use nVidia Clean Install every time.

 

[newconroer]

Hello, will there be an update for 320.49?
Or is there a brief outline somewhere that explains how to make adjustments for new driver versions?

That config will not gone a work.
At least for the moment, the only way to make the sli work, is using cards with the same gpu piece.
So for example a GT104 can work only with another GT104... but is not possible to mix a GT with a GK.
