this was done using the SLI mod, currently under development by a few guys (you know who you are) full details can be found in the drivers thread on this forum.
is this a new dawn for multi GPU users? i believe also that Crossfire on Nvidia Boards shouldnt be too far off.
discuss/
Now that's what I call:
The way it was meant to be played :up:
Nice work,heads out to the drivers forum section....
This is pretty awesome. I have not used nvidia for a while, but I always like to keep that option open.
hmmm..
didn't expect to see this
neither did i, ever....periodQuote:

ATI and Nvidia guys able to truly compare systems, using same hardware configs.
(although you can already with intel x58, no AMD option is at hand)
to me this news is unreal, and i am still in shock, that i managed to enable this on my test system.
what about HWbot? are scores from these configs going to be allowed? im not sure i dont use it, but its just another question this mod might raise.
again i take no credit for this mod, a lot of people have been involved in this, and again i thank you all. :up:
Don't see why it shouldn't be allowed really on HWbot...Quote:

@ DosDuoNo
Did you use the sli connector or just software sli???
Is there actually a difference between the bridges as well...I have only ever used ATI in crossfire, so I really dont know..
that Funny..your chipset X58 now working on AMD processor........:D:D
niether do i, im sure the guys will allow it, if everything is declared up front :up:Quote:

I like how there is no technical limitation preventing SLI from working on an AMD motherboard. It is simply the limitation between the left and right ears of a few Nvidiots that run that company. Nvidia has been taken over by MORONS that don't realize they would make a lot more money if they opened up SLI. This is why I left the Nvidia camp.
those 8500 GT cards looks as good as my crossfire 3470's in my mother computer, too bad I don't have phenom II in it yet. still has a phenom 9550 in it.
too bad you can't still get those cards, to test on an 700A board.
Nice work, man
I cant think of any rules that will be broken if you submit scores with this "hack" or whatever it is.
PS: for those who don't know: I'm a result mod:p:
:) It is only SLI, one type multiply card, there is no problem. I think "Lucid Hydra" bring to you, Hwbot Crews, some headache :)Quote:
