HyperSLI (Enabling SLI on non-sli motherboards)

Something as simple, as CSS, it'll work, loaded Map fine, played fine, generally just Nice, but that ain't the game i wanna play, i wanna play games like "ARK, BO3, LoL, Diablo 3" those kind of games :)
 
In your main cod3 directory make sure you ahve a folder called "players" if it's not there create it, in the players folder save this information:

That i haven't tried Nope, but still don't Think it'll help anything, all of my settings / graphics are on low atm
 
Well, my main job here was to help you get the patched driver installed and we finally got that going, I gave you a couple of tips on getting cod3 running, I've gone about as far as I can here, if you want more info
go to the cod3 steam forums. You can check your game cache under steam and/or uninstall/reinstall the game, offhand I'd say either 1 of your boards is bad or it simply can't handle cod3.
If I remember properly I think a 460 with 1 gig of ram was the minimum requirement.
 
Was there anything else? and yes, video boards=graphics cards.
 
What are you talking about?
 
If you want to completely remove the patched driver, just reinstall the official driver by running the installer you downloaded from nvidias' site.

But then you will be running 1 video board and 1 phyx board.
 
I know, it's like i am Right know? I can't use the second card for shit anyways? All the games i wanna play crashes
 
That might simply be that the video board in question can't handle those games.
 
Yes, reinstall nvidias' official driver.
 
Allright, thnx for trying tho, i just don't Think motherboards, that aren't meant to run sli, should be capable of doing it, in a "cheating" way :)
 
My motherboard's only native support is crossfire (ati boards) but it runs nvidia boards in sli mode just fine with the patched driver installed.

But at least we gave your motherboard a try.

I had to figure out what the last few lines were but I was wrong before when I stated "it looks like it was successful", the 4th line up from the bottom is saying it failed to process the nvlddmkm.sys file,
try renaming the original nvlddmkm.sys file in your "c:\windows\system32\drivers" directory to something like "nvlddmkm.old" and run the Install.cmd again.
Click to expand...

That's right. I renamed the file to the "c:\windows\system32\drivers" -"nvlddmkm.sysold". and the program install.cmd ceased to see him, and wrote that the "file not found"
or do you mean, that can not make install.cmd changes to the file?

P>S> oh, sorry my bad bad english (( i am russian
 
No, just rename the original sys file to something else and then run the Install.cmd again. The patched driver should install fine.

or I will not understand. or you me)))
After installing the drivers
in c:\windows\system32\drivers" -rename nvlddmkm.sysold - YES?
 
Navigate to "c:\windows\system32\drivers", open a command prompt, type "rename nvlddmkm.sys nvlddmkm.old" navigate back to where differentsliauto and the patched driver are installed open another command
prompt and type in "Install.cmd".
 
Hi I have a Gigabyte GA-Z77-D3H (states it has crossfire support) but I have two GTX560Ti cards I wish to SLI together on this MO.
I have them on the MO and bridged, they show in the Device manager but there is no option for SLI in the Nivida control center.
Does this sound possible to SLI with HyperSLI.
Do you have the latest download link for HyperSLI.
Thanks for any help.
 
To mikemp3:

Hypersli is no longer used, the latest drivers it supported were 335.23, use differentsliauto now, see instructions below:


1. Go to http://www.geforce.com/drivers and download the latest drivers (358.91) for your version of windows.
2. Go here: http://www.gamefront.com/files/25329966/nvlddmkm-35891-7-8-81-vista-64bit.rar (This link assumes windows 7, 8, or 8.1 and this is 64 bit only, if you need the windows 10 version, see download links below).
3. Go here: https://github.com/EmberVulpix/DifferentSLIAuto/releases and download the 1.3 version of this package.
4. If you don't already have winrar installed, go here: http://www.rarlabs.com/download.htm and download the version of winrar for your system that is current and run the installer.
5. Unpack differentsliauto 1.3 to a folder of your choice (c:\diffsli13 for example).
6. Unpack the patched driver into the same folder you unpacked differentsliauto 1.3.
7. Run the official video driver installer you downloaded from nvidias' site and let it install the official drivers.
8. Once the official drivers are installed and the installer has finished, go back to where you unpacked differentsliauto 1.3 and you also have the patched nvlddmkm.sys.
9. Open a administrator level command prompt (hold down left-shift & right-click anywhere in the window (don't have any files high-lighted) and select 'open command window here'.
10. Run the 'Install.cmd' file, it should say 'success!' in green text at the bottom of the window if there were no errors.
11. Reboot your computer.
12. Go to your nvidia control panel and activate sli.

Applied everything as you said and the SLI option appears in the Nvidas control panel. I will see how this performs (bench test etc) today and report back. This install process works as advertised , its so easy. Thank you very much for your reply and help.
