Follow the instructions so that you can post a question then ask this question:


Due to the lack of immediate availablilty of any NF590 Core2 Duo motherbaords I purchased an Intel 975X chipset based motherboard to run my dual NVidia graphics cards in SLI.

I then find that your drivers do not allow SLI to run on this chipset.

I can't tell you how disappointed I am to find this to be the case, to make things worse, older drivers have been modified in the community to allow sli to run.

Now that I know SLI can run and successfully operate on this chipset but you choose not to activate it I am even more emotional about the whole situation.

So before I switch to ATI Radeon X1950XTX, please can you tell me when you will release an SLI driver for the Intel 975x chipset.

Many thanks.



The more people that do this the higher chance we have on Nvidia cracking under the pressure - so for those that want, join in the request direct to teh manufacturer.



United we stand my friends........ POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!!!!

OK, I'll support the moaning brummie.

I did it. Not sure what mobo I'll get though probably a 6800 and the 590, but we'll see.

Even still, the mobo will come before the decision for or against SLI. If they want to sell me another card for SLI, they could insure that decision by making it possible irregardless of the chipset involved. It's the right thing to do. We know it works. They need to do it, pronto.

Second thing that is crazy is not at least having a 2D capable display on a 2nd monitor while running SLI on the primary.

But first things first.

There have been a few responses on other forums wher eI posted this request.

Most of them state that drivers are released regularly and when they're ready, they will be released.................. really??

Thank you for your email Mike,

We would need additional information to troubleshoot the issue you are experiencing. Could you please let us know the model number of the NVIDIA graphics card, the driver version and the operating system installed on your computer.

Regards,
NVIDIA Customer Care.

Amazing. Anyways they're releasing them soon anyways.

Thank you for contacting NVIDIA Customer Care.

NVIDIA's policy is to release new Forceware display drivers every couple of months. These updates provide performance boosts, stability enhancements and innovative new features to our Geforce and Quadro family of GPU's. We do not set a specific release date for our future drivers as we prefer to release them as soon as they are finished, tested and ready for release. To be alerted by email when the next display driver is released, please sign up for the NVIDIA Newletter from the following URL:

Thank you for contacting NVIDIA Customer Care.

Sorry for the inconvenience. However, Intel 975X Chipset is not supported on SLI and we can not comment on the future release due to the competitive nature of this business. We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause.

Best regards,
NVIDIA Customer Care.

sounds like the answer i got from Martox some years ago regarding opengl drivers.
it will be on hp when it is redy.

[BulldogPO]

Did it.

[selder]

Thank you for contacting NVIDIA Customer Care.

We are sorry, but currently there are no NVIDIA drivers, which support the Intel 975x chipset.

Please sign up for driver notification in order to be notified of future release software.

I can't stop thinking that they didn't even read the question!

[selder]

Haha, I replied to Nvidia with

I don't have any interest to offend you, but ...

... can you please read my question again, or forward it to someone who knows what I'm talking about???

kind regards,

And I think that 1st line helldesker forwarded it to someone who knew a little bit more about the situation

Here is his/her reply:

Hello selder,

Due to the competitive nature of this business, we are not able to provide any information on rumors or future unannounced NVIDIA software. We can neither confirm nor deny if or when NVIDIA will release drivers that allow SLI on NON NVIDIA chipset's. Once new software and a Formal Press Release from the company has been officially announced, we would be glad to answer questions and provide information. Please note that since its introduction in 2004, SLI Technology is a exclusive function reserved for NVIDIA nForce MCPs only and is marketed and advertised as so.

Didn't ULI chipsets use SLI for a while, until Nvidia bought them up?

Anyway, done.

[TuKo]

Done too.
