Hey I hope Hyper is out before the 27th, but my guess is the countdown is it so that is OK, Nvidia is releasing a SPECIAL driver on Sept 26th for BF3 Beta, so I guess modded drivers will have to work.

http://bf3blog.com/2011/09/nvidia-preparing-special-drivers-for-battlefield-3-beta/

Tommorow i'll be working on x32 HyperSLI. it's completely wrote but not debugged yet. x64 is finished and works ok. as i mentioned before, while i'm working on the HyperSLI i'll be modding drivers so you will have sli in any case. too bad but i'm working a lot(8:00am-12:00pm). when i have time i'm working on HyperSLI.

Patience, young Padawan... the Patch is still under construction, and it wouldnt wonder me if there were still a few minor Bugs, Anatolymik is still fixing... he works as hard as humanly possible. ;)

I found a glitch with I think the modded drivers, I tried running CAN YOU RUN IT for BF3 and it says my video card is as NVxx so I meet min but not recommended. LOL

Sorry for double post.

Thanks for the update can't wait to test it out. I just wish you had 2 seperate versions, x32 and x64 so the peeps with x64 would be set to roll. LOL Anyways keep it up.

Hey Guys

I have a P8P67 LE Mobo with a GTX460, im looking to use SLI however noticed that the board only supports crossfire.

Has anyone had any success using the SLI patch?

Thanks

HyperSLI coming soon... Short info:

For complete working of HypreSLI you must have Virtualization Technology enabled in BIOS.
First release would have only Intel processors supported for now. AMD will be supported when i get AMD platform and write for it.
There will be software approach, which would not require Virtualization Technology. After first release i'll take care about software approach.

Testing should be completed shortly. Final HyperSli will be announced here. Patience! As for a new thread, that's up to anatolymik. His priority right now is just getting it out the door, and working perfect.
