TiN what about patch for quad sli ? any possible to deceive drivers that they'd think that you are using mb with dual nf200 ?
Any news on a fix for drivers 258.xxx and up ? Thank you and appreciate it.
I finally managed to get something working today on my X48 Evolution... but it only works if I use one of the black slots at x4. It kneecaps the performance gain entirely :(
Any ideas?
Also... would it be possible to get this to work with 169.21 drivers? I have no luck with them at the moment

Thanks :D
i'm on 258.96 and can get sli enabled on gtx460 with a gigabyte x48 dq6.but after a few minutes nvidia driver stops responding and the driver either recovers or pc reboots.pretty sure it's my 4 year old fsp epsilon 700 watt psu doing this and not the sli hack.

thank you !!
:YIPPIE:
i was wrong.new psu in and still 258.96 driver crash or reboot.
258+ drivers aren't supported yet.
Using 258.96 ran the 3DMark Vantage, and ran normal
Whats the newest driver to use with this, getting gtx480 sli and would like to try this before buying amd sli board?
Newest 257.21 , but i found out that 257.15 are much more stable wich are the ones i have been using for a looong time now without any problems at all.Quote:

Anyone now if this is usable with the GTX460 then?
yes and no.you will be able to enable sli and run for a few minutes but eventually my system shuts down.if some of the previous nvidia drivers supported 460 we would be good to go but only the newest ones do.
You can add the GTX460 to the INF with earlier drivers and should work fine.
Do you mind explaining how to do that, or linking to a place that explains how to do it? Thanks.Quote:

Thanks Tin for the continous support !!
Hey guys.
I have used the Windows 7 32bit SLI Patch, version 0.7a but it crashes my computer after about 15 minutes. I get a black screen with some sound still on, and the only solution is hitting the power button or restart switch.
My specs are: Video: 2xBFG Geforce 8800 GTS 640MB Drivers: 258.96 Mobo:GA-X48-DS4 rev.1.3
I have downgraded to driver 190.62 and used the SLI String installer v.2.0 and the modified file for the driver Forceware 190.62. This works fine without crashes. Sometimes I get a slow down or some stutter but it's no big deal. Are you guys working for modified forceware for version 258.96??
Or do you have some other suggestions that would work with the latest driver? Thanks!

Hey:)
sorry for my noob english, i'm from germany.
Do you have an solution for sli with 2 x 7950 GX2 on X58/P55 boards?
I'm thinking about this a long time, but it's really hard.
you need 182.xxx driver for sli on x58, but this driver doesn't support sli for 7950 GX2. if you take an older driver, sli don't work on X58.
any solution?
Modify inf file ? :)

Hey man, it works fine with the 266.xx forceware on my system, get the new version of slipatch from http://www.slipatch.com/ ... the 1.0 final. I had your same problem with the beta version and the nvcontrol panel crashing. Hope this helpsQuote:

Odd. Same drivers are yours. The above link also stated support for 260.xx drivers.
Maybe we're overseeing something simple.
There is a newer version of the patch here
See if this helps.
Remember to turn off UAC and Antirvirus when performing the Install otherwise the system files may not be overwritten.

Reporting Success !
Asus Maximus Formula (Intel X38)
Q6600 + 8gb Gskills DDR2
Dual EVGA 480 GTX SC on SLi with Asus bridge.
Have'd some problems with the HD AUDIO controller though, disabling it solved the problems.
Well, in Windows 7 with UAC turned disabled and SLI Patch 1.0 run as Administrator the patch installs fine. The problems start as soon as I physically install the 2nd GTS250 in PCI-E x16 slot #2. Windows 7 starts loading but within seconds always BSOD's with a 0x0000000A5 error code. The BSOD also states a line along the lines of "This PC's BIOS is not fully ACPI compliant...". This is on a Rampage Extreme with BIOS 1301.Quote:

Strange.
Thanks for posting the link though.
Hi All,
If, like me, you have SLI working but get random desktop freezes and Windows startup freezes, I found a solution which works consistently for me; reasoning and inferences follow after:
1) When I switch the PC off, provided I do NOT disconnect/switch off the mains, I never ever get the desktop/startup freeze. Basically there needs to be power to the system all the time, even when off - strange
2) Whenever I switch it on, usually the first cold boot fails to initialise both cards. Usually one will fail to start. A second (and vary rarely third) reboot always cures this for me.
After (1) and (2) I have completely seemless uninterrupted SLI gaming with no issues whatsoever. Nor does it make any difference what version of the drivers (258 - 265) or SLI patch (0.90 - 1.0) I use. I believe that there is a significant probability that, for those experiencing the same freeze/crash issues I was, that the issue is nothing to do with drivers/SLI patch problems/Windows:
After experiencing numerous crashes and freezes last year, I got fed up with rebuilds so after a clean rebuild and getting SLI running again I installed Acronis and took a drive image. The next time I had a crash, I just recovered the drive image and carried on no problem.
After awhile I stopped playing with the gaming rig so I shut it down and powered it off at the mains. Some weeks later I switched it back on and got the freeze/crash problems. Odd because the last time I shut it down it had been fine, nevertheless I just restored the disc image and got the same problem again - weird. The restore was a disc image of the working clean SLI build so there couldn't be any file corruption. So I restored again and again, each time getting the same desktop or startup freeze. After awhile I gave up and switched the whole thing off but forgot to turn off the mains. Next day I booted up and everything was fine. Ran a few rounds of Vantage, got P34595 score - everything seemed fine. Left it looping that for a few hours and still fine. Played FSX for hours and still fine... Ok so switched it off (not at the mains) and came back to it a few days later. Took a couple of reboots to get both cards to start up but still fine. Repeated the whole exercise every few days and the system seemed to be bomb proof. Then I powered off and switched off the mains. A few days later it freezes on windows start up. Reboot and the same. Reboot again and a freeze on the desktop. Recover the drive image again and it still freezes - WTF?!
The only thing which had changed was that, after the PC was shutdown, the mains were switched off. Ok, so I switched the mains back on and left it for a few days. Next power-on, and a couple of reboots to get both cards to start, it was fine again. No freezes or crashes and has stayed that way ever since provided that, when I shutdown there's still mains power and that a do a couple of warm reboots to get both cards starting happily in Win7. After that everything is fine. Ok so it's a quirky startup routine but compared to the random niggles I had with my old pair of 4870X2s in the same system - this is a dream.
It could be useful to know if this approach works for others. Only thing I would say is, "patience" if you've been powering off at the mains. It took my PC a few days to be 'happy' again after I stopped doing this.
Obviously if you don't switch off at the mains after a shutdown and you have freezes/crashes then the above is going to be useless for you.
you need to have both cards installed BEFORE you patch it.... if you remove one of them.... or change the GFX config after the patch all hell breaks loose on startup...Quote:

hi there i use 260.99 and 1.2 patch and it works perfect with DFI Lan Party UT P45-T3RS
but i have 3x8800gtx and i only manage to make a SLI with 2 cards only the 3-rd i use for Physx
i can't make 3-way Sli ? why ?
Best Regards

With the beta driver 275.27, locks up when enabled SLI
I currently don't have a second card, but I installed the patch to see if getting a second for SLI was possible. It said the patch applied successfully, and rebooting to the SLI mode worked. However I do not have an SLI tab, but is that only because I do not have a second card, or did the patch not actually work?
I have a P45 chipset and a GTX 460.

Hey, did anyone try 275.50 drivers yet?
No go with 275.50's.
But i'm testing with WinXP-64 on a 5000x chipset so it may not be helping.
edit
No go with 280.19's either

New drivers 285.62 are out as well. I'm willing to try this, otherwise.... man.. I don't want to think about the otherwise.
Goes to TIN's website now.. not sure if it will be on there at all.

Ya man, I'm still rockn my ole P5B-Deluxe w/6GB ram too! except with a Q6600 @3600 Mhz and for a few years previously an E6400 @3600Mhz on same MoBo.
Graphics for past 2-3 years.. a Toxic5850 + 9600GT for PhsyX (traded my GTS250 to a buddy) doh. I got my bro to do an ATI/nVidia physX mod on a 9550 Gigabyte EP45-UD3P too.
Only a week ago i found out about the SLI hack... WTF! and the performance with the x4 slot!! I was always led to beleive the x4 PCI-Ex slot was Garbage for Crossfire.. never mind SLI!
Excitedly, I prematurely ordered 2x GTX460 Hawks and a Corsair TX750 from my SB build to play with NOW! :) But Sadly, they're still being shipped to me. :(
So, while I wait a few more days for my hardware to arrive... It'd be SuperCool to see how well your setup performs! especially since it's somewhat close to my current build.
on a boring wknd.... I await ur post! :)
P.S. I'm going to be trying the "HyperSLI" mod on my P5B-Deluxe when my cards and PS arrive.
linky= http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=153046 seems-to-me like the most mature implementation for the SLI hack. opinions?
P.P.S looking at my Sig... been awhile since i been on xtreme! lol
Oh... website down and no longer exists?
