SLI with different cards

Yes!!! its working!!! I miss that part with windows safe mode and editing install file... Thank You so much!!!

The only thing thats Im worried about is the 3dmark11 score on performence...
Single card: 11500
SLI: 14500

I think it should be more then that?

I have seen that 3dmark is not full opmitimized for SLI instead you buy advanced version.

Just wanted to say after following this forum, I successfully got it working with my GTX 760 4GB and my GTX 670 2GB with no issues so far!
Before with just the 760: http://imgur.com/RySx09M
After with both cards: http://imgur.com/9V2eyOG
Thanks guys!

Also I noticed that I forgot this at the end but it's working fine without it XD: http://imgur.com/SOTDyAP

Update: SLI bridge helps... http://imgur.com/iw4xYEQ

Yeah! Congratulations for getting that cards working togheter...regarding to the SLI bridge i strongely recommend that you use it. The SLI works without it yes, but i have been doing some test and some games suffer with fps drops and unstability if SLI bridge is not connected. Cheers...:toast:
 
Hi guys,

Very good work on this, congrats!

I got a motherboard SLI and Crossfire compatible, with 2 x16 lanes and 2 x4 lanes.
I already got a 2 WAY SLI GTX 970 on x16 lane each, and i trying to 3 WAY SLI a third GTX 970 but on x4 lane.
I think the situation is very similar to the video tutorial on page 69.
And i can 3 WAY SLI then!, NVIDIA Control Panel shows that!, COOL!

But
I got a problem, when i open a game that uses all available GPUS crashes....

Somebody notices that situation ?

Thank you

Is your PSU strong enough to handle 3 970's? I rougly estimate a 850 w power supply to get good performance. If you have a good power supply then try to run games without SLI bridge. Maybe the bridge is damaged.

Hi,
I got a 900W PSU and i already tried run with bridge and without bridge.

My bet is, i got problems when tried to SLI x16 lane with x4 lane (lanes limitation ...)

Any one notices that ?


Thank you for your answer,

Is not oficially but Different SLI auto makes it possible.
 
I'm a bit new to the thread.......can i have 2 750Ti SLI ?? We would get FPS boost in SLI scale games ?

Yes that's the idea

I dunno...maybe its time to move on to single gpu. The best you can afford. SLI performance SUCK in new AAA games.:banghead:

That's very sad, because technological its a step backwards ...
Maybe the problem is not only the SLI, some games are very special, like The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt (the one that runs a special Physx, CPU only ... ) lol

That really sucks man im not really fan of this game but... physx on cpu really? But Nvidia always has sell this technology as a exclusive feature from them and from experience i have seen that physics from CPU run horrible...im seriously considering to get gtx 1070 and move on from SLI im starting to think that this is a diying tech.:cry:

Yeap physx on CPU:
http://www.geforce.com/whats-new/gu...-tweaking-guide#the-witcher-3-wild-hunt-physx
Yes it's horrible, unless you get a top of the line Intel Core i7 ... Because is CPU bound on Physx.
About get a GTX 1070, sounds very good, but i dont think SLI is a dying tech, you got titles like Doom 2016 (scales very well!), even BF4 now is stable!, MKX (it's not bad now), Titan Fall is you Like, Dragon Age Inquisition (very good), Call of Duty Black Ops 3 (very good). These titles is commited very serious on SLI. Dont give up yet=)

Yeah but how many months or even years we have needed to wait to give that titles a decent SLI profile? DOOM doesnt even support SLI they only forced AFR a scaling is bad, battlefield 4 is stable after years, rise of the tomb raider, all windows 10 store games, etc. So im really tired of NVIDIA inspector and tweeking profiles there is only one franchise that scales perfectly im talking about SNIPER ELITE titles really beautiful:respect:98-100% SLI scaling. I was really a SLI lover but im starting to hate it...anyway just my point of view.

Yes maybe you're right, NVIDIA seens to let go SLI tech on serie 9 max 3 WAY, serie 10 just 2 WAY max.

Yeah they said thats because new games are changing and difficult paralelism in rendering process. I think thats bullshit and they have decided to support powerful graphics cards instead of mid range SLI capable cards to get more money.
 
You're absolutely right,

So you must get the 1080, because the 1070 it's a MID range of serie 10 (but very top in SLI). Same old problem ...

I think 1070 will be TOP for 1440p and 1080p and gtx 1080 will be the choice on 4k gaming.
 
No go on 368.69-desktop-win10-64bit-international-whql... Any resolve?
Could not find patch #3... Seems 365.19 is the newest working for 1.4 atm...
