SLI patch for non-SLI motherboards?

**BioPC** · 03-02-2006, 06:06 AM

Woops! been posted few minutes ago on News.

A while back Asrock published a SLI enabling patch for their ULi chipset based motherboards that have two PCI-Express slots...
Now ngohq managed to rip the installer and to create a modified version of the SLI patch that allows you to use it with EVERY motherboard.

For more info:

Has anyone tried it yet on a nForce4 chipset?

I wonder if they will ever do something like that for CrossFire...

That is what i am hoping for someday (not that i have crossfire..yet). But it would be nice to not be limited to what videocard setups you can use depending on your motherboard chipset type (nvidia/ati).

Supported OSes: Microsoft Windows XP/2000

Wow... SLI on Win2k would be nice. Especially in 3DM'01

I tried on i975X, while nothing works.

Same here, tried it on 955X and 975X, didn't work

You will need the special drivers to make it work...

What do you mean? It is not enough this SLi-patch for work of the usual driver? Then what for it is necessary?

no one has guaranteed that this would work, thats why Rege wants people to test it.

LoL

So are we saying this patch is a bit of a humbug then...?

I havent heard of it working. The obvious Ultra-D --> SLi mod will work but that is about it.

If this patch worked, there would be screens and results, but while full silence. For the sake of interest I have tried to put a patch on the modified driver with SLi-support. The patch has not affected in any way work of the driver.

This patch is not working, it is only for ULi MoBos, but who has a ULi Mobo?

Do you read this ?:

I understand it as it is written.

NEGATIVE:

A while back mainboard manufacturer Asrock published a SLI enabling patch for their ULi chipset based motherboards that have two PCI-Express slots. Various rumors suggested that the patch would also function under other chipsets as well, and allow users with other chipsets to use SLI on their non-SLI motherboards. The result? SLI on any platform, no matter what the chipset (just so long as you have two PEG adaptors).

Dying to give SLI a try but don't have quite the right motherboard? A new patch might give you a sneak peak

A few days ago we reported on the leaked ULi driver patch that enables SLI on any Detonator driver if the patch finds a ULi Northbridge. ULi (ironically now NVIDIA) created the patch to work with existing and future NVIDIA drivers -- other similar hacks required the use of ancient drivers to work correctly.

A few people were able to take our advice and create a patcher from the ULi INF files. The result? SLI on any platform, no matter what the chipset (just so long as you have two PEG adaptors).

Several motherboards have multiple PEG slots, but without the SLI license from NVIDIA, those motherboards have never been sanctioned to run SLI mode. Motherboards that currently have multiple PEG adaptors but are not authorized to run in SLI mode include:

* Intel 975X
* Intel Q965
* Intel P965
* Intel 945P
* VIA K8T900
* ATI RD580
* ATI RD480
* ULi M1697
* NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra
* NVIDIA nForce4 4X

Feel free to give these chipsets a try and report your success.

I strongly apologize, but for some reason it seems to me that you did not read a theme from the very beginning.

mascaras,
The link you posted has the same patcher as in the very first post of this thread.
And so far people have been unable to get it to work with non-uLI boards.
