Pieter-Jan told me you would be fighting back... I had a blast with these cards, but they were terrible clockers and didn't scale at all with volts like a normal 9800GT... I made a small error in my file (Benchzowner spotted it in a flash) I had the same issue as you : SLI available (disabled) and no TAB
Pm me ya file I will add the extra lines and then you can test... I only used the modded 190.62 drivers (I know there are better ones around :p )
Thanks Leeg :D While file do you need?
the raw dsl file read out from mobo...
I have no idea how to do that :)
be sure to download that asl/iasl stuff ;)Quote:

Typo in the xdevs article :p:
Thanks Karl :D
side note.... damn this having to think. I hope this is made a touch easier so everyone can fire n forget. If a task needs a caffeine intake in order to be completed, I class it as advanced :p:
Attachment 97899
Im off to bed now guys ;) Thanks for helping me out. Further abuse cannot be given for slow replies... until tomorrow :p:
:eek::confused: I still cant get it. Thanks for your help + time, Leeg + Bill.. but dont break out the celebration cigars yet.
My next ideas:
try a different XP build
try different drivers
CPU-Z comes up as X58 no problem, SLI String installation is no problem..... theres no reason for this to not work???
You got at least SLI available (disabled) ? might be ya current copy with ya previous tries is a bit corrupt... Like I told you on MSN I only used the 190.62 modded drivers and once Bill corrected my error it immediately worked...
I Get SLI available (disabled) every time.. trying another DL of the modded drivers cant hurt. Will try that first tonight.
I BET its some really dumb oversight on my part :(
Thanks Leeg :)
you are the first Scotsmen I know that admits his flaws :p... Maybe just a fresh copy of XP and the 190.62 drivers found here will do the trick ( and stick strictly to the guideline Kenny !) Hardest part is to mod the file which is done by a USA dude that lives in greece, compiling by a belgian... things can only get worse from there :p
Im Scottish bro ;)
I think im on OS reinstall.....5? now :p: Im trying to eliminate as many possible reasons as I can for this not working
Well I try it the other day with 2 8800GTS (G92) but I get 2 problems. The first one was: No boot and video signal. I change the DVI conector position and it work (the boot).
The second problem was: It didnīt load the windows 7...after see the loading screen, nothing happens.......any idea? I can be because It wasnīt a clean installation of Win 7???
Hey bro. Does it work ok in Safe Mode?
What about with only 1 GPU installed?
No, I try the safe mod but it was the same.
If I use 1 video card, it works fine and with no problems.....
Hey Fellas,
I did this hack couple of days ago.
On Gigabyte EP45 with 2 GTX295. SLI worked out just fine on VistaX64

http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z...tmapImage3.jpg
However my Vantage score was barely any higher than my single gtx 295... What gives?
SLI is enabled. EVGA Precision and GPU-Z see both cards, hell everest can see both cards as well.
Single GTX 295, overclocked I got 24.1k.

Got barely 20k with 2 cards, no OC... wtf?
That is very strange indeed. Hopefully someone can help you out with this!Quote:

I just can't figure out why, I reinstall the drivers and all over and over...
Am I supposed to enable something else besides the steps in the guide???
@Davit
How many gpus are enabled if you check with GPU-z?
Anyone tried 3 (physical) cards for tri SLI yet ?
Sry but what is UAC...where to find?!Quote:
3 - Disable UAC.
Noob...found it ;)
Showed 4, need to take another screeny.Quote:

Finished gameing with sli (work on win 7 with 8800gts 512) but now i have big problem. I return 260gtx in computer but it cant be seen from windows...tried to instal newer drwers but getting error on picture. Any idea or i have to format c: :(
Looks like a misread Device ID.
In device manager, open up the properties of the graphics card, and go to the details and find its device ID ( in the hardware info class ) it should be somethings like VEN_10DE&DEV_0601
You need the numbers from the DEV_ part, and insert them in the device list of the driver's install inf ( nv4_disp.inf ) in the setup's temporary extraction folder.
Different XP install...same problem. Its beginning to feel board/ BIOS related?? I have ACPI v2 enabled in BIOS. Im using the best BIOS for benching.. I dont feel inclined to lose that efficiency, even if its the difference between SLI and no SLI. Realistically, its only 3D01 I'll get a boost in.
