SLI hack on Intel legacy chipsets (not X58)

[BulldogPO]

9800GX2 spanks clearly single GTX 280 so there is no argue about GTX 260.

Tnx m8 for putting all in one place!! It would be nice to find same for win xp x32

barely if not equal...even if they beat it slimly.single gtx 260 is less psace,heat,power,and can alway add another 260 for $150 more later...sell those 8800,s for $150 both before there were nothing and buy a single 260...futureproff your rig.

Tnx for advice!

will that string installer work only in windows 7 or does it work for XP also?

Hey Hazzan Which hal.dll mod did you use? Wait.... have you tried cracked SLI on XP with open driver support? I dont want to use 190 drivers... I want me some 16921 magic

[Kai Robinson]

Seriously - the dev's who've done this are made of 110% win

I suggest everyone makes sure that should nVidia come blustering through, we don't roll over and capitulate. Make the information freely available for all to see and use - you can't stop the signal!

I just use like this My Bro...

-Run and instal LHALMod as Admin -- http://depositfiles.com/files/c99sx9y17

-Copy moded nvlddmkm.sys to C:\windows\system32\drivers\ --- OS 32BIT -- http://www.xdevs.com/sli/nvlddmkm.rar

[K404]

he hal.dll change gives me a no-boot every time

Best iv had is SLI: disabled (SLI available)

Im trying 169.21 though. I'll try . 190.62. I really hope this is really, fully opened up... but even as it is... the guys involved have done an excellent job

[BulldogPO]

I just tried SLI hack with my HTPC but seems like there is something wrong in it´s bios or in the board itself.

Board is Asus P5E3 WS PRO with latest bios. If I add card in another slot my Vista X86 freezes in loading. Then I did take new HDD and installed Win 7 X64 to it but drivers did not install to that second GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB card, no matter what I did, with and without SLI bridge.
Driver version I tried was 190.89.

[DosDuoNo]

the hack is designed to work with 190.62 version of drivers,

@bulldog, did you or can you enable ACPI v2.0 in your bios? if so enable it and re-instal OS, then download latest ACPI driver from microsoft, via win update,

then run the slistring instaler, and latest halmod v8.0,

[BulldogPO]

Weird thing is that drivers will not install even without SLI bridge.

[Turrican]

anybody already tried 2x gtx 295 on a rampage extreme?
if not, i'll try it tomorrow and will report back .

[K404]

Im still getting nowhere on XP-32

I think I have 2 problems...

1/ Copying the modded nvlddmkm into system 32/ drivers..... its a new file- its not replacing anything???

2/ the modded hal.dll results in a no boot due to file corruption

Please can someone do an idiot-proof guide for XP?

i thought the "nvlddmkm " is only necessary for win vista/win 7 ? i didn't need it for win xp 32bit.
the modded hal.dll doesn't work for me too.

btw. confirmed 2x gtx 295 working on a rampage extreme, altough the score is a bit low for now.

[LAMB OF GOD]

[TiN_]

Which OS?

[Solid Snake]

Hi guys

Can I do SLI with 285GTX and 8800 GT? (8800 for physical )

[K404]

It wouldnt be SLI in that state. It would be card + physX

Still cant SLI different cards.... im not sure where that rumours came from????

This is chipset support, nothing else

[tlac]

There is a new beta everest. This version detects the sli certification.

the modded hal.dll doesn't work for me too.

I'm running Win 7 7100 64 bit. All that was needed was to run the SLIstring installer & the Halmod. I used Halmod 0.7. I didn't change the nvlddmkm file in system32 foilder. SLI running fine.

[K404]

Using the modded drivers, I get the following:



Up until now, iv been using nTune to get PhysX options... SLI options *should* come up... but its not working

Any ideas?

[Leeghoofd]

Which board sir Kenny ? Otherwise I share ya my file... we had some issues benching with the REX and the 9800GT's, you've seen the scores. Under the hack those cards seemed to perform lower in clocks than with regular drivers, SLI or not. We got loads of image corruptions, unexplainable freezes,...

Luckily the CPU power makes up for it... and we had limited quantity of LN2 there so we didn't have much time to tinker with it...

[K404]

Hey Im using the Asus X48 WS Evo. Im about to try DLing a couple official drivers and see if the Control Panel works better from those. Cant hurt to try



Cheers!

Congrats on those scores BTW I knew it was only a matter of time till this crack starts bringing noise to HWB
