FW 85.96_mod for SLi on any chipset

Big_Sam · 07-08-2006, 03:28 AM

This is beta driver with 7900/7600/7300 support, but not with 7950GX2 support.
This is unoffical driver and you can try to run SLi on any chipset at your own risk.
The archive size is about 13MB: http://steffbard.com/drv/85.96_mod.exe

1. The driver works perfect: http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=4862834
screen: http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/4470/015zk.gif
But I had some problems with use of the driver, for example in SLi-mode I had the monitor image from the second card.
I have no time to check up this driver completely.

2. I have opened access to this driver only for some days (2-3), then I shall delete it from server.

3. The place for PM is limited by 500 messages. I am tired to clean it.
I don't have so much time to answer all.
Excuse me in advance, but I shall not answer any more those messages which not contains nothing except for words - give me !.

oanvoanc · 07-08-2006, 04:52 AM

thanks a lot for that.
is the driver better than the 84.66_mod?
does already exist a modded version of a 9x.xx driver?
thx

zakelwe · 07-08-2006, 06:21 AM

Only 600 in GT1 ? Apparently there is a new Intel chip that gives you at least 3000 fps !

Very nice work Sam, thank you for sharing with the community ..it is much appreciated.

Andy

PS Like your SLi message on driver control panel ?

Yes, but while it does not work properly and it's early to speak about results. It will be checked up completely before publishing results in any case.

I did not try to receive much FPS, I only wished to check up work of the driver.

It is my picture in the control panel.

This time I still wished to change the text in the SLi-menu, but have decided that it will be better to walk with family on Saturday evening than to sit beside computer.

Thank you.

I saw on akiba pc's site, somebody enabled quad sli with 91.31 driver and 2*7950GX2 (I think no intel chipset). Can this be true?

Yes, It can be the truth even on Intel a chipset. I think that everybody saw it: http://www.tbreak.com/forums/showthr...475#post266475

Simply I studied not at the necessary school in the childhood and I am too silly to receive the necessary result quickly. LoL

thanks for the driver one more time

mfg

icesalmon · 07-13-2006, 07:27 AM

oh man thanks thanks thanks

this is awsome my system is running fast as hell.
and its only 2 x 3D Fuzion 7600gts coupled with the rest of my specs

I am loving it THANK YOU for hooking these up.

now I need to benchmark and see what these puppies pull even if they are on the cheap side I got a great deal on everything in my system.

Corner · 07-13-2006, 01:25 PM

Thanks alot Big Sam but i have a little problem and need some help of you

I have a system below

Asus P5WD2
Intel Pentium D 3.0Ghz
2x 6600GT @ SLI (after installed Big Sam's driver)
1GB RAM

My PSU is 530W, when i play games like 15 mins, my pc automatically restart, only when SLI is enabled, game does apprear nicer, better, but i got pc restart as well in less than 20 mins

Is my PSU 530W enough for both Pentium Dual Core & SLI running at a time ?

Please help

thanks

icesalmon · 07-13-2006, 02:37 PM

if its a sli certified power supply yes if not then that could be your problem
could also be they are overheating ? make sure your case has good airflow

big sam can probably give you a correct answer but that would be my 2 guesses

Corner · 07-14-2006, 11:44 AM

My PSU is 530W but its not saying anything like SLI READY because its not a Cooler Master PSU, it just a china PSU i bought at $20 (530W)

I reall need an idea before im goin to buy a new PSU, should I buy ? I love SLI, and if i buy, how much W is needed ? Cooler Master 450W or 500W or 550W ?

Thanks
