FW 85.96_mod for SLi on any chipset

[webwilli]

I have tried Driver Cleaner several times, both in and out of safe mode now, I have also turned the bridge around too to see if that would help.

So far the same results, as soon as it reboots after selecting SLI mode, the screeen stays black once Windows loads. -Black as in no source to the LCD-

i have the same problem with two 7900GTO. SLi works fine, but the screen stays black.

any idea?

[Big_Sam]

Today I tested my new pair of 7300GT and also have faced with problems on 85.96.
It was for the first time

I didn't begin to search for the reason of these problems, I have simply reinstalled the driver to 84.56.

This driver is very much pleasant to me, it's WHQL, but unfortunately not FM approved.

I never before published it.

I have added support for videocards:
7300GT
7900GTO
7900GS
7950GT

Here it is: http://steffbard.com/drv_04/84.56_mod2.exe ( FW_84.56_mod / about 16MB )

Enjoy

Thanks a lot.
Is it any faster/slower than the 84.66?

[webwilli]

many many thanks

Try it later with my GTO´s. I hope it fix my problem.

I can't tell that they faster or slowly, they work other way, especially it differs from 84.21 and 84.43.
I think that especially they will like fans of modern games.

I dowloaded a different file from a different thread on these forums and for some reason that worked for me. Go figure

Big sam it doesnt detect my 7900GS card. It says in the begining of the setup that he did not detect any compatible hardware ???? But i have a 7900GS

in an other thread i read that you had trouble (blank screen) after reboot with the 85.96 mod drivers, i had too until i connected my card to the DSUB15 (normal VGA) connector of the monitor instead of the BNC jacks i used before.

was hoping this driver would enable sli on my 975bx board, but it doesnt recognize my 7950gx2..

[revenant]

I take it no one has located the ULI patch and/or knows of a hacked set of 91.33 or greater forceware drivers?

Excuse, I just have checked up all once again and have found a mistake in INF file. Once again excuse, tomorrow I shall correct it.

Drivers 81, 84, 85 and 86 series do not support cards with two GPU, I wrote about it already many times.

[wase4711]

hate to act like a N00b, but using FW 91.37, and the "new" control panel, it shows that dual GPU is "enabled"...
Can this actually mean SLI mode on a 975bx?

I have not understood what's a problem.
If you use only one 7950GX2, it is not necessary any modified drivers, put anyone 91XX and all will work. If you have a pair 7950GX2 and want to receive QuadSLi on intel, it will not work.

Alright no problem

But a quick question Big Sam. I tryd several settings in the nvidia profiles but in Fifa07 iam getting in normal mode better result compared to SLI mode with the 85,96 mod drivers. Would Fifa07 run better with these drivers in SLI ? because you mentioned that modern games would run better on the 84.56_2 mod drivers. I hope to hear from you soon

And not to forget Thanks in advance for the nice jobs your did/doing here You definitly my hero

Unfortunately I absolutely don't have time to play games and when I spoke about them I had in view of only supervision over various fragments of 3D Marks.
It seems to me that 84.65 uses pixel shaders little another and consequently minimal FPS in heavy stages little bit above than on 84.21. It's only my opinion and I can be not right.

Thats no problem Big Sam, I will try them any way thanx for de answer do

[Big_Sam]

I have corrected mistakes and have repacked the driver by 7zip, it has turned out 16MB: http://steffbard.com/drv_04/84.56_mod2.exe (same link as first)

If it is necessary only one corrected INF, here it is: http://steffbard.com/drv_04/nv4_disp.rar

Do I need a SLI bridge if I use this drivers on my motherboard?

[blink hi]

The drivers won't install for me because it says that I'm not running Windows XP. I have a genuine copy installed, but it's 64-bit. Is that what's killing it?

[blink hi]

Bah, yes it is because I'm running x64 =/ Is there anybody online who can help a n00b out

Why do you not want to read this thread from the beginning up to the end?... it's not so big.
This question was discussed many times, last what I remember was: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...&postcount=259

[AsAsIn8eR]

Sorry Big_Sam I didn't read it cuz I was in a hurry.I will take my time and read it since it would be the right thing.Thnx and respekt! OK looked at your link.It's seems that it does ahve a pretty big effect.

Hi Sam,

Thanks for your modified drivers. Do you recommend the 85.96 over the 84.56's you mentioned? Or vice-versa?

Also, will you be working on 91 series FW drivers soon? Thanks and keep up the good work!

I precisely nothing can recommend and I can't tell what better.
It seems to me in various situations everyone can be both the best and the worse.

It would be very strange if I didn't try to modify 91 series.
It's very hard task, work goes very slowly.

If you havnt tried it already you can use the XG tweakerizer on the 85.96 modded driver. Been running it for a few days and runs smooth and has good IQ.
