SLI Mode

dsmturbo · November 6th, 2006, 07:41 PM

I am running a 6800 and a 6800GS and have enabled SLI mode in bios. I was sure that I was running in SLI mode before I just upgraded drivers to 93.71 I believe it is. Now, when I run:
rundll32.exe nvcpl.dll,LaunchMultiGpuApplet
it informs me I need compatible cards to enable SLI mode. It says I must remove any cards that are not compatible with SLI???

Can anyone please help me? I thought these cards would (were) running in SLI mode. Perhaps it is some other settings I have that are stopping it to enable multi gpu??

i have never heard that two diferent cards can be seted in SLI
SLI works only on same cards

(only crossfire can support two diferent cards)

try to finde some mod of bios that change your 6800GS into 6800

Dam, I was sure I ran in SLI before. I don't know what brand the 6800 card is, both are PCI-e, 256mb. The 6800GS is a XFX card. Rev 1.2 it states on the box.

Is there any way I can get the make/model of other card? There is really nothing on the pcb to indicate manufacture.

I wouldn't try this myself but maybe flashing them both with the same 6800GS bios?

u r going to short fuse ur graphics cards if u kepp them in, because the components do not identically match and will cause instability.

i'd be very careful before you flash any cards. remember you cant scale a card upwards if it aint a gs it aint gonna be, but downgrading the gs to match other card is more realistic
