How To: Enable SLI on pre-i7/i5 hardware

[anatolymik]

I will run some games, and then try the 195 drivers and see if SLi will work

install 195 driver now and try

HELLO! I'm new here from China.Thanks for your work about cracking SLI,that's wonderful! And I'm using it for a while. But now, I have the same problem with MikeTyson and I've tried almost all kinds of ways referred above ,but...which did not work... (the driver is 195.62 whql OS:WIN7 32bit)

Thanks for anatolymik's patience,i will pay close attention to this post

NOW I'M WORKING ON AMD SUPPORT. AFTER THIS I'LL MAKE THE PATCH FOR ALL OS's

ok. go to windows\system32
look for ntoskrnl.exe and send this file to me

 

[anatolymik]

take ntoskrnp.exe from patch folder once again
rename it to ntkrnlpa.exe and copy to windows\system32
reboot

OKay but I think this will be the same as ntoskrnp.exe as I renamed ntoskrnp.exe to ntoskrnl.exe earlier if you remember?

Sorry I just changed from 190.62 to 191.07 and SLi works

So I guess it really is just 195 drivers that don't work

Do you want me to install 195 and then change ntoskrnp.exe to ntkrnlpa.exe and copy to windows/system32?

i want you overwrite ntkrnlpa.exe by ntoskrnp.exe

 

[anatolymik]

can you host file to another hosting

 

[MikeTyson]

I think it's important to point out before I do this that despite being able to activate SLi on both 190.68 and 191.07, the performance is a lot worse with SLi enabled than disabled, on both drivers :|

New method (customized by me for not messing up with boot options) tested and SLI working OK in Windows 7 x64 and Vista x64 with drivers v195.62 in my P5K-Premium (P35 chipset) with 2x 8800GT.

Thank you and great work!!!!!!!

do you know rw-everything utility?

 

[dbphelps]

I thought I may add that I tried the latest alpha (0.3) without the need for a slicertificate, and I can confirm it installs correctly but causes a BSOD upon reboot without the nVidia drivers installed.

I uninstalled it and went back to 0.2 with the slicertificate and it boots, installs and does SLI with the 191 drivers (I am running an AMD FX790) on Win7 x64 Ultimate.

[anatolymik]

AMD SUPPORT WAS ADDED

HOWEVER NEED SOME TESTS

 

[dbphelps]

I will be trying out the 0.4 patch here shortly and will report back my findings.

I'll do the install with the 191 drivers first, then uninstalling them and installing 195s.
