SLI running on P5WD2...

[Big_Sam]

So... Today I have tried it with 2 x 6600GT/Forceware 66.72 and Asus P5WD2 Premium... all on air...

The result bad,... but SLI works...

[speed bump]

Nice, I wonder if its just these drivers or what, glad to know its not impossible.

[LarsK]

Man, I wish someone knew how to "tweak" the newer drivers to get a couple of 7800GTX's to work, these early ones unfortunately doesn't support the 7800GTX.

[mike]

tried it too with GTXs - unfotunately no go...

[Kanavit]

God , i love sli.

[Supertim0r]

should be great with a 670 @ 7ghz

[Big_Sam]

It works only with Forceware 66.72 , 66.77 and 66.81, and already with 66.93 does not work. And in all these Forcewares there is no support 7800, a maximum that can work, it is 6800U.

running both SLI & Firecross on P5wd2-p , nice！

Just like most of us suspected all along, for some reason Nvidia just won't let SLI function on 955X boards

[xooler]

Maybe someone can help us?
we need made a mix of driverspack of 66.81 & 77.71
On 955x sli works with dual 6600 @66.81,but that drivers haven't 7800GTX support.
77.71 has 7800GTx suuport,but they don't work on 955.
Who can include 7800gtx support in 66.81??

[Big_Sam]

The first experiments with 66.81 look so:



But the control panel does not wish to work.

It works only with Forceware 66.72 , 66.77 and 66.81, and already with 66.93 does not work. And in all these Forcewares there is no support 7800, a maximum that can work, it is 6800U.

that`s it,2 Ultras running a solid SLI with these early forces

and i have tried 2 7800GTX but no go with P5WD2

[Big_Sam]

[LarsK]

W00t, have you enabled SLI with 2x 7800 GTX's and some 75.90 drivers? Tell us more please.... I don't know any Russian either, so all I get is the you're running G70's with SLI. Will it run games/benchmarks?

[mike]

AWESOME SAM!!! SHow us more please

[xooler]

We can't show more.
Now we working with drivers.
All results will be later.

Fair enough. I'm very exited to see what'll come of it. Best news I've read in many weeks

[althes]

This is getting good

[Big_Sam]

Work proceeds. At present it is not clear why so productivity in this mode strongly falls with SLI mode on. I have about 17k with one 7800GTX in 03Mark (everything by defaults) I shall try fresher drivers and I think that in the near future something will clear up.

[LarsK]

Excellent news, although the result isn't exactly encouraging atm.... If you need someone else to test it out, let us know. I also have some results with my Abit NI8 + 7800GTX SLI setup with different cpu speeds that you can compare results to eventually.

[Big_Sam]

Has tried other drivers. All the same something not so... For management of the driver it is too much parameters, and I am not so clever what all is the nobility. Unfortunately with such as 77.72 at me it does not turn out to include yet SLI.

[LarsK]

Well, I'm affraid I won't be of much help working on the parameters in the drivers, as you're definetely already way ahead of me in that department

I'll just keep my fingers crossed, there has to be someone who can make it work, even though Nvidia doesn't want it to.

[Think]

bump, any news on updated support?

[Big_Sam]

At present there is a hard work. I cannot tell more because there is no still a final result.
