YES, YES, YES - GUYS YOU MADE MY DAY !!!!!!!

It works

RiC@RDOCs and johnspacks hints were successfull - now I only have to change the card to an SLI port and then I can update the drivers, too.

Greetinx,

Sukram.

Glad to help

Just thought I should update, all my games are still running problem free, and fast! So stick with the 270.61 driver for now, and enjoy your games in sli, and we will see if an update is released for the newer drivers!

Another update, Dirt3 works perfect in sli with 270.61 + 275.27 profile. We can make it until the next slipatch update!

275.33 WHQL Drivers

275.33 WHQL Drivers released.

Update: Same thing as before, nv cp hangs while enabling Sli.

DiogoCDS19 · Jun 1, 2011

Well at least we can extract the sli profiles.
RIC@RDOC could you extract it and post it here ?

DiogoCDS19 · Jun 1, 2011

Thank You Anatolymik for your support to all of us!

DiogoCDS19 · Jun 1, 2011

hmm i just tried, it still crashes the nvcp...
Edit: although after i restarted the computer the SLI was enabled LOL!

Darkbluesky · Jun 1, 2011

Could someone test if it has still incompatibility problems with 3D Vision?

johnspack · Jun 1, 2011

Heheh, he's been working on slipatch in the background all this time! I actually knew this, but couldn't say anything....

Did you reboot your PC after push update button?

It's not because of slipatch. It's driver problem. To be more accuracy it's because of some incapatibility of drivers (sli) and nonsli platforms. I have same issue. And i want to find time to do some research.

Well first i updated SLI patch then i installed the newest drivers and when i tried to enable SLI it froze. I restarted the computer and then SLI was enabled.
Maybe i should have installed the drivers first and just then install the SLI patch

EDIT: yup just tested, first should install the drivers and then the SLI patch
