I may have to pick up a DFI LanParty UT NF4 Ultra-D mobo, and test out the patch to see what happens. Unless anyone else has one  ? | |

This is very interesting for budget ULi users and other chipset users out there if they are successful. |

| | Big_Sam.. no one has guaranteed that this would work, thats why Rege wants people to test it. | |
| | I guess the big thing to note, is that the instructions say to reboot 2x after installing. | |
| | This is a great attempt, good to see someone tried to do it. | |
| | It's not an attempt, REGEN tried it before he posted this.
Try downgrading your nv-drivers and then reinstall the patch, could be that nv has already blocked it. | |
| | I tried 81.85, 81.89, NGO83.62, 83.90. I two times reinstall OS and about 10 times the driver and a patch. How many time I was restarted to tell difficultly in general. | |
| | Big_Sam can you please post your entire PC Specification? | |
| | No luck so far - this is the basic set up
Intel 975xbx
3.2 GHz EE processor (running at 4028 at 1040fsb)
XP pro SP2
DirectX9C
2 x Infineon 667 memory
2x 7800GTX (with bridge)
and
1x 6800GT +1x 6600GT (with bridge)
I've tried 81.98 and 77.??
Haven't re-installed the OS yet.
So far no luck - no errors but no SLI either
Any ideas?
Thanks |

| | It doens't hurt to try it but don't expect any guarantees. | |

Thanks | you can't SLI a 6800gt to a 6600gt,.. you crazy bugga | |
| | I though you could with the v8x.xx series drivers? | |
| | hi there,
this patch does not work for me:
Intel D975XBX motherboard (975X chipset), GeForce 7800 GTX SLI, Forceware 81.98
Pit www.3dchips.net | |

| | I'm gonna get an SLI bridge and give this a whirl on my Ultra-D in a few weeks time... haven't seen ANY success though across a lot of forums. A lot of people are saying you guys only released this pseudo-patch to get more hits on your site and stuff like that 
Worked on me though
Suman
P.S. In case this doesn't work does anyone know a decent hard mod guide for Ultra-D to SLI-D? I've found loads, but none with good high-res pics of where to cut and draw. I think my board will probably be an anti-mod chipset as well (bought board October 2005). Thanks! | |

We know that the success rate is low and we are trying to fix it but it's hard and takes a lot of time. Do me a favor and tell these people to stop whine and flame and help us to make this patch work in 100%. Currently we need a lot of beta testers with ULi based motherboards. | |
| | yey!! it's WORKING on my ASUS A8R!! 
going to benchmark now | |
| | Cool what drivers, hardware etc. are you using?

it sound like a very uinteresting stuff .
hope it wouldn't make your system crash | |

3DMark05 without bridge: 6371

ASUS A8R-MVP
2x 6600GT
AMD64 3200+
ForceWare 77.77 | |
| | I haven't had any luck with my mobo which is an Ultra-D. I am running forceware 77.77 and have changed the jumpers to sli mode on the mobo and set the SLI Aperture to AUTo in Bios. SO far no luck with the patch. I might try to do the sli mod trick that i've seen on DFI-street. Also i'm using modified bios 702-bta to run. Anybody with an ULtra-D have any recommendations on this patch to work? | |

| | Yes, even if you have the exact same card and one is running 10mhz on the core it wont work. SLi is picky like that. | |
| | Ah so then chances are I have to get anothe XFX 7800GTX in the future if I want 100% compatibility since XFX factory OC's their cards. | |

You need two identical cards, it doesnt have to be XFX aslong as they both have the same SPEED. Eg. it could be a BFG running at 425, 1.05 and the other could be a MSI running at 425, 1.05. | |

| | How do U know that this patch works ? 
I can't find any SLI panel in my display control panel, after applying it.
Currently I'm using 84.12, should I downgrade to 77.77 ?
Seems won't work on my DFI NF4 Ultra D. |

And how exactly does the patch work? Is it modifying the nVidia drivers, chipset drivers, or some other Windows settings?
Thanks,

| | its been some time that via announced the K8T900 chipset wich had multigpu support.
tech report was succesful in enabeling sli on the reference board they received.
here are the results: notice they used 2X6800ultras with 71.24 forceware drivers. http://www.techreport.com/reviews/20...0/index.x?pg=5 | |

Unfortunately the original version of the patch installs only on ULi 1695/7 chipsets - you couldn’t use it if you didn’t have a motherboard with that particular chipset.
We’ve managed to rip the installer and to create a modified version of the SLI patch that allows you to use it with EVERY motherboard. We couldn’t do in-depth testing on other chipsets, but if the rumors are true then it should definitely work. Feel free to use it at your own risk, and please post the results in our forums. Remember, this is a modified version and is not supported by Asrock, ULi or Nvidia. Installation: Just run SLI Patch.exe and follow the instructions. After the installation, restart and then log into windows and restart again. Removal: Control Panel > Add and Remove programs > SLI Patch Supported OSes: Microsoft Windows XP/2000 Update: It seems that the patch is not working for Intel chipsets. We’re working on a patch update and it might take a while. We’re looking for beta testers with an ULi 1695/7 based motherboards. Update II: If you’re planning to try this patch then don’t use it with ForceWare 84.12. My personal recommendation is ForceWare 77.77 for a better luck.

| | Any good News with the Ultra-D? i have all to test it an Ultra-D two 6600GT a SLi Bridge and many Time ;D feel free to email me | |
| | Hello
I am currently running with a A8NE mb from ASUS with an AMD 3500 2.2Ghz and a Leadtek dual 6600 GT Extreme.
Lately... I discovered that only one card was recognized instead of two as it should normally been. Digging a bit, I saw that this graphic card was only usable with SLI mb.
I ran your patch and nothing came up.
Has someone a tip to make it real?
Tks for your support,
Regards
JB

| I have this board too and i don't think its worth trying to get this patch to work as 2nd PCi-E slot only works at 4x. If you did get it working you wouldn't get full performance out of your cards. | |

| | So, I was all excited to try this on an ASUS P5LD2 Deluxe board (16X and 4X data connections to X16 slots). No go right now. No news for a few days either. The thing is, I'm also running 7900 GT cards, so I would need 84.20 drivers to get proper support. If anything comes up that you need beta testers on, I've got LanParty RDX200 as well to test on. I could try 6800GS and 6600GT cards as well, but I'd really prefer to play with 7900 GT. | |
| | Hi !
I'm sure you're doing a great work with this patch. Any update coming soon ?
I'm currently using a P5WD2-E Premium (BIOS 0402) with 2 7800GTX 256Mb on it and couldn't get the first patch version to work (tried with 77.77, 82.10 and 84.25 drivers). | |
| | Hi All,
i have a second 7800GT coming, and i'm going to be trying this patch out. i have a NON sli mobo, and i dont even have that card connector. ive read with newer drivers you don't need it ?
specs:
eVGA 7800 GT x2 (soon)
eVGA NF-43 non SLi mobo Nforce4
AMD Athlon64 @ 2.7 ghz
2x1024mb OCZ pc3200
Enermax 550w
now i'm wondering what my chances are that this will work ? or am i going to have to pull my chipset heatsink and do a hard mod ... | |
| | Just bought an Asrock 939SLI32 which has the uli chipset that this patch was originally designed for but it doesn't work above v81.98 forcewares Which is crap considering ULI = nVidea...
Regeneration, can you get by the nvidia block? | |
| | i have the following setup
winxp sp1
p5wd2-premium
2.8 dual core cpu
2 evga 7800 gtx ko video cards
2 gb memory
i have tried the patch with several different driver versions
and can't see any indication that it is working for me.
i have read conflicting info about this patch working/not working on intel
chipset motherboards.
does anyone have any positive info?
i am hoping i wont have to dump this motherboard and
get one that is sli ready, but also don't like the idea that 1100 bucks worth of
video cards is going to waste.
thanks | |
| | Is there any new patch or something? I have a P5B-deluxe and I have just bought a 8800 GTS 640 MB. I'm already planning to buy a second card in the future when prices will be cut. | |
| | I'm wondering the same thing. I have an XFX 8600gt on a Asus P5K mobo (crossfire board). I really would love to setup a dual card system. Anyone on any updates? | |
| | PLEASE tell me theres an update! | |
| | NVidia has legally indicated they don't want us working or releasing SLI patches if you want us too bitch at them Bro ... Please | |
| | That really is too bad, If anything it would boost nividia's sales  well, maybe one day i'll be able to run sli on my asus | |
