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

[soundood]

I am already using this modded driver I got from post #923.

http://www.xdevs.com/sli/nvlddmkm-64bit_rev_2.rar . I noticed that the modded driver is exactly the same size as the original. I signed it using the signing tool.


I'll be home in a few hours, I'll send you the files generated with "iasg -l".

THanks.

Send me your DSDT and try modded driver

don't send. you did it already. so modded driver doesn't work?

and load this dsdt by using "asl /loadtable DSDT_A0863001.dat"

 

[Schlingel]

how can i use "iasl.exe -g" to obtain "DSL" file in win7 64bit?

should run cmd with option "run this programm as admin"

 

[yeba]

I placed the modded driver under windows/system32/drivers and signed it. That did not help.

I'll try this when I get home. I'll let u know.

Thanks.

[TheWolf]

1. Download

2. Unpack

3. run install.cmd FROM WINDOWS EXPLORER AS ADMINISTRATOR

4. Reboot

5. Post screenshots of CPUZ

I see in CPU-Z you have no memory info, must be due to something missing in the modded Hal that it no longer can get the info?
Edit: Or could it be from something missing in the modded DSDT file that was uploaded? Or did it always show this way?

I've tried only a few of the halmod's as they came out, but so far none have help me to use unmodded drivers.
But my case is not important as I have SLI enable by sveet's way of modded driver.
As I keep testing if anything changes I'll let you know. Thanks for your hard work in this for others.

You may install latest version of HALMod and ASUS cert. it must work
by the way, what your system specs

I've tried a couple different ASUS certs, but so far this is the only one that has worked for me to enable SLI.

Which w7 x64bit modded driver did u use? Did u sign the modded driver also? Did u install the modded driver after installing the official drivers?
