Maybe SLi on i975 boards with patch!

Quote:

Patch for ULi/ATi based motherboards to enable SLi

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

So, I happen to have an ULi based board, and it had been bugging me that I couldn't enable SLi on it. Well, I finally came across a nice little patch that does exactly that (apparently, it works on ATi based chipsets, and perhaps Intel chipsets as well). It works like a charm.

I know I'm not the only one that's been looking for this, and while I'm not sure if any of you folks fall into that category, here it is anyway.

ULi/ATi SLi Driver

Can someone with a P5WD2-E Premium board test this? This would be very nice if SLi does work on i975!

Well, Nvidia did just purchase ULi, so that could be the reason that SLI works on that board. I'd be interesting in seeing if there is a way to hack that "patch" though.

I'd test, as soon as you send me a pair of 7800gtx... :p: lol

Yeah i know, but it's also working on ATi chipsets ;) That's why there might be a possibility that it also works on intel chipsets ;)

Damm to bad :(

But how can it work on an ATi chipset? Because of the ULi southbridge?

There must be some ub3r coders out there trying to hack this...?

Doesn't work on P5WD2 or P5WD2-E :(
(Tried the 81.98 driver)

^^ZOMG! The real Crotale!! Didn't know you hung out on here :D Congrats on winning the SOC :toast:

Bummer that patch doesn't work though... hopefully by the time i985X is released someone will have found/made a solid patching programme!

Whey doesn't Nvidia work with Intel in getting SLi working on Intel systems?

Because then people would buy superior Intel chipsets instead of the comparitively crappy nVidia nF4 chipsets, and they would lose business! Not good for them :p

Kinda true, abt losing business. Cant say abt Intel Editions being really crappy as I have not tried one.

there is a thread going on in the news section. Maybe worth a look ;)

I wish I had another 6600GT laying around so I can try this out on my P5WD2. No one has tried this "latest patch" on an Intel board?

Crotale, on post #11 said the patch didn't work.

I'm not trying that stuff, seems like it's been modified to make-belief that it can work with any chipset.

A hoax in my opinion.

Update: It seems that the patch is not working for Intel chipsets. We’re working on a patch update and it might take a while. We’re looking for beta testers with an ULi 1695/7 based motherboards.

with 6600 gt you dont need any patches ,as it works on p5wd2-p . just use an earlier driver ,and sli works fine .;)

I tried this patch several times with several different drivers and had no success.

Yeah, I have noticed that a few older drivers work, but what happens when you play a game that has been released after those drivers were....many bugs, missing textures, etc. Frickin Nvidia, don't leave us hanging like this :confused:

I think because of Nvidia's good relations with AMD, Nvidia will not support Intel.

AMD blaming Intel for bad practices yet that is nothing compared to Nvidia rooster blocking of any improvement to Intel, the non SLI drivers is a real big FU to those running Intel chipsets.

I am so close to going off on Nvidia.

That's one of the reasons that made me go ATI.

And also exactly why i sold my 2x 7800GTX cards and went ATI. I'm getting a crossfire master card for my x1900xtx soon.

And I'm not likely to buy anything Nvidia, be it motherboards or videocards, anytime soon. Wonder if their attitude wouldn't change in a heartbeat if revenue suffered sufficiently.

nVIDIA's attitude probably will translate in Intel users buying ATI cards.

One thing is clear: If nVIDIA wants to fight against the i975x chipset they will have to work REALLY hard.

nVIDIA rules the AMD word with its chipsets (IMHO the best AMD chipsets), but in Intel world things are very different and a NF4IE is not enough :nono:

For the moment, the i975x is unbeatable.

I'm wondering what nV is going to do when Conroe hit te market? Sitdown and watch how everybody buys a nice Conroe board (with intel chipset) and some ATi cards because SLi doesn't work? Let's hope not!

So hang on, in your opinion nVidia ticking off a TINY base of enthusiast SLI users is somehow a greater crime than Intel arm-twisting whole multi-national companies and governments into using their products and unfairly crippiling a competitor... right, that makes perfect sense!

:stick:

And no I'm not an AMD fanboy, thanks :p: last rig was a P4 3.2C, next one will be a Conroe EE!
