Your English is fine. Yes, you can run your 7800gtx video cards in SLI with the modded drivers (I use 84.56 mod 2 by Big Sam). I am very pleased with the performance (runs almost twice as fast as a single card) of my BFG 7900GTOC SLI configuration.

Thanks, Big Sam. You're the MAN! I thank you for all your effort.

Hello there, i´m the new one :D

@ first sorry my English, cause i´m from Germany :cool:

-------------------------------------------------

@ Big_Sam

Thanks for the Drivers, they´re really fast and i´m enjoying to play with my rig with your drivers, but.....

... since last week i´ve got 2x7900 GTX 512Mb Voltmodded @ my P5W DH Deluxe. My E6600 runs @ 3600Mhz (System Stable)

There was a problem with the resolution (1680x1050 16:10 Widescreen). Everytime when i Bench, my system Crashed, or just dont load the next Bench using your 85.96 Driver.

So i change my Resolution into 1280x1024, since then i´ve got no problems anyway :confused:

Do you know abot this problem? I have to say that my older 7800 GTX 256Mb didn´t got this resolution problem....

Í´m waiting for your feedback :toast:

greetings TW

Hello,

@ everyone good morning i'm happy to become a part of this forum

After carefully reading this topic from the beginning i olso desided to try SLi on my Asus P5W DH Deluxe. I bought it thinking it was SLI ready but didn' t read the small letters saying it was Crossfire ready ( the box said SLI so go figure).
I'm using a pentium D 945 @ 3.4 ghz. My Windows version is x64 becouse its a 64 bits system. Is that a problem? My second Asus EN7900GT wil be here tomorow and i olso bought a SuperMicro SLI Bridge AOC-SLIB for optimal peformence.
Do i have to reinstall windows XP 32 bit or can i use the 64 bit.
I'm all new at this but i really would like to learn?

Thanxs for your understanding.

SLI operation on a 975X based motherboard requires a modded driver. I have not seen any x64 drivers modded for SLI operation, just 32 bit drivers. I believe you will have to change your OS to XP 32 bit in order to get SLI working on your system.

I have a D975XBX BadAxe MB and am using the 84.56 modded drivers to run SLI with my BFG 7900GT OC video cards. It is running GREAT!. I'm impressed. I hope that NVIDIA will break down and enable the standard drivers to run on Intel chipsets so we can take advantage of new features and such. But, until then, I'm happy with my setup and the performance I'm seeing. IMHO, it is well worth the time for you to switch back to 32 bit XP just for SLI using the modded drivers.

Anyone working on modding the 91.xx drivers for Intel chipsets and SLI??? We'd all like to hear about it, if you are.

Best of luck!

Hi, glad to hear you joined?

Unfortunately, 32bit only supported with the modded drivers from what I've seen.

A Gentleman by the name of "Sam" has done a wonderful job with the supply of these drivers. I'm using the 85.96version with modded inf. file for 2x7950gt's on a Asus P5B Deluxe with E6600 and 2gbs of OCZ Plat. PC2-1000 RAM. Works very well for me.

I'm interested to see how the "SLi Bridge" works, I'm not using a bridge so performance suffers a bit. I would like to get one. The one you have is "flexible"?.

Good Luck!

btw, it seem that with 85.96 I loose some stability launching Windows XP - sometimes it just hangs on load, on loading progress screen or even on log-in.

Was not a problem with other drives and even with older modded ones.

It's not often, like once in 10-15 starts (I restart often lately - just set up WinXP once again). So it's not really big problem :) just FYI.

ps. ofc, I tried to live couple days on pure no-overclock system just to make sure nothing wrong there - same result.

@ swiftex

Yes my sli bridge is flexible. But it does not seem to work. They promised me to send a new one. If that one does'nt work then i have a problem i quess

ontopic
I installed a second OS ( xp 32 bit+ dualboot) to test if i could make the sli work. I allso bought a ASUS P5n32-sli se deluxe to see if the test results are better than on my P5W DH. I only need some ddr2 pc 6400 memory to build a third system.
Is there any change that it is possible that a x64 driver can be modded?

hmm, just installed second Sparkle 7600GT onto my config and see no "SLI" tab in advanced video settings... :(

ps. 85.96 modded...

update: SLI detected just fine using 84.56 :D

You can't always go by what you hear, but, I heard "SLI Board (pcb bridge)" better than "SLI Flex Bridge" I thought maybe FLEX Bridge better because board not designed for SLi (P5B Deluxe) and worried about length of bridge.

You can do SLi without a bridge, so don't think you need a bridge to make it work. You need workable drivers. x64bit driver is possible, but, it's finding someone with the time and wherewithal to do it.

Why not this board? P5N32-SLI Premium with NVIDIA nForce® 590 SLI™ Intel Edition?

Hi, I finally got my SLi Bridge in, I'm using 84.56 and I'm getting this lines on the left side. If I were to switch to 85.96 would this problem go away???
