Running SLi on AMD CHIPSETS in only 7 simple steps!!!!!! MUST READ!
HI!
Today I received sadly an unsatisfying answer, but it's not the replyers fault!!
Thank youfor the assistance you've provided me with, but this is where I have to prove you wrong.Code:stormy13
Running SLi on AMD boards IS possible. With a Patch of course.
Here are the steps to doing so:Code:http://xdevs.com/e107_plugins/content/content.php?content.30
1. Download patch 0.9b in bottom of this guide.
2. Put it to some directory on harddrive. For Windows Vista or Windows 7 disable UAC.
3. Run patch
4. If there is stirng "Patch can be applied" press Install. If there is old patch detected, Update button appear instead of Install.
5. If everything ok, tool will report "SLI patch installed" and exit.
6. Reboot.
7. During boot there will be "extra OS" selection, marked "SLI enabled". This is one to use with SLI patch active.
I KNOW THIS SEEMS UNREAL BUT TRUST ME IT WORKS! I AM USING IT NOW!!
DOWNLOAD LINK FOR THE SLi PATCHER:
Code:http://www.megaupload.com/?d=861CAXU1NOTE!!:
Patched SLI drivers for specific versions, early experimental drivers
Section A. Windows XP 32, modded videodriver ForceWare 190.62
Step 1 Download SLI String installer v.2.0 and unpack in to folder on HDD. Run slistringinstall.exe.
Step 2 Press ASUS, regardless of real motherboard vendor, to patch Windows registry with SLIC certificate
Step 3 Install modified Forceware 190.62 (link in bottom of this article) XP driver. Reboot. SLI must work now
Section B. Windows 7 32-bit, method 1, modded Forceware 190.62 Vista/7
Repeat steps 1-2 from “section A.”. All is the same without any change here.
Step 4. Disable UAC
Step 5. Copy modified driver file from bottom of article to c:/windows/system32/drivers.
Now, if everything done correctly, SLI must work after reboot.
Section C. Windows 7 64-bit, method 1, modded Forceware 190.62 Vista/7
Steps 1-2 are the same.
Step 5. Disable UAC, enter system to test mode, make modified driver file have certified for OS.
