SLI Hacked on Older Intel Chipsets

that should please intel/nvidia fans!

nVidia chipsets shold do SLI as they do, AMD Crosfire and Intel chipsets should do bought

ATI/AMD would happly support CF on Nvidia chipsets, problem is that nvidia blocks it, just like they block SLI on non-nvidia/x58 chipsets, nvidia dosnt want anybody to beable to use 2 non-nvidia cards on their boards/chipsets.

No, nVidia doesn't block anything relating to crossfire, AMD blocks Crossfire from being activated on nVidia chipsets just like nVidia blocks SLi from being activated on Intel and AMD chipsets. It has become obvious that you are an AMD/ATi fanboy, which is why you want to try and make it seem like everything is nVidia's fault. Sorry, that isn't the case, ATi is just as much to blame here as nVidia. ATi claimed that Crossfire couldn't work on nVidia chipsets because it didn't support a certain feature(I think it was PCI-E writeback or soemthing like that), they made the same claim about certain Intel chipsets. Surprisingly...they managed to work the problem out on Intel chipsets...but still block Crossfire on nVidia chipsets...

Meecrob said:
Oh and about the main topic post, nVidia has an i3/i5/i7 chipset, but intel wont let them market it, its nothing to do with nVidia not being able to make one or having trouble making the chipset, Intel just dosnt want the competition in the chipset market and used bully tactics to get nvidia to give in and let them have an SLI license......

Intel isn't stopping nVidia from marketting any chipset. They will have chipsets available for 1156. Intel didn't stop them from marketting 1336 chipsets either, nVidia caused their own demise there...

Meecrob said:
If nVidia where smart, they would just unlock SLI on all chipsets and allow CF on their own chipsets, it would make them more money, even if the sale market for sli/cf is pretty small, it would also piss intel off.

Allowing Crossfire on nVidia chipsets is up to ATi/AMD, not nVidia, nVidia has nothing to do with the decision.

Meecrob said:
Humm, could it be that the deal they made with intel dosnt allow them to unlock SLI on all platforms? wouldnt put it past intel to make that a stipulation.

What deal with Intel? The deal to make i7/i5/i3 chipsets? That deal just recently existed, it wouldn't explain why they haven't unlocked SLi in the past. Or the deal to make Intel chipsets in general, I doubt Intel would force nVidia to not unlock SLi on their chipsets. It just doesn't make any sense from Intel's standpoint. It would only serve to improve their chipset sales. The only reason nVidia doesn't allow SLi on Intel chipsets is because if they did, no one would buy nVidia based motherboards.

so does nVidia block or not?

nVidia doesn't block anything relating to Crossfire. I figured most intellegent people could figure out that I was commenting relating to crossfire since I was responding to a comment about crossfire...I guess I overestimated people's comprehension skills...

goldfries · Aug 6, 2009

Dude, I'm just highlighting the inconsistency of your post within the same line. You didn't have to get all worked up for something that's rooted from your own words, do you?

Perhaps I do lack in comprehension skills or intellect, but there's no reason for treating anyone like that.

Not only am I being accused of being a troll but also accused being a duplicate of someone who just got banned? :cool:

amusing........

DOsent matter, it can still be activated through drivers no matter what chipset.

i hope nvidia doesnt get on their a$$e$

KainXS · Aug 7, 2009

on the original forum its posted this guy makes an even bigger claim

he says he is able to run the 8600 and GTX in sli somehow and it works

. . . . . I don't believe it

I think he meant he tried this on 2x 8600 GT and 2x GTX 260 so far. Not everyone has a boxful of cards. Here's the thread: http://bbs.expreview.com/thread-22862-1-1.html

So that's 2x GTX 260, and 2x 8600 GT. Not GTX 260 + 8600 GT.

His GTX 260 cards are the old 192-SP models btw.

steelkane · Aug 7, 2009

Oh, so that's what a Hacker looks like

Wile E · Aug 7, 2009

So, if he gets this running normally, anyone want to trade a 4870X2 and 4870 1GB for a couple of 285's or a couple 1792MB 275's?

I would like very much to test this.
Any news on a release of the modded software?
Please PM or e-mail me with all info & modded software/drivers.

Thanks in advance.

Hayder_Master · Aug 11, 2009

it should be do this before year ago

TheWolf · Sep 11, 2009

Read & watching closely, this was only allowed to a few for testing, mostly mods & admin at Exp.
So much time has passed I do not think the mod will ever see the light of day.
I hope that it would as I have up to 3x 260GTX & a Abit IX38 that I would like to test this on.
Looks like by the time it is leaked out "if ever" we will have drivers & hardware that will be beyond the need.

Then probably this will help you
