HyperSLI (Enabling SLI on non-sli motherboards)

If you mean the visual sli indicator, you can access that by clicking on the "3D Settings" button in the upper left-hand corner and click the sli indicator button.
 
Well, we've got a problem. As i tried to test, how good it's become, my computer crashed on me (Was testing with mw2) as i aimed with a sniper, it was blinking all over my screen, with purples, white, blue, very many lines, but as soon as i got back to normal aim, there were only a few structures, that was lightning up, with those weird colored lines?
 
Unless you installed the wrong driver for your version of windows, I know the patched driver is good, I have that installed on my system now, I've been playing fallout 4 and Call of duty 3 with no issues.
 
A lot of things can affect overall performance of a driver, including how well (or how badly) a given game handles sli mode, for example batman arkham knight doesn't handle sli mode at all, I have to run
that game on 1 board.
 
The latest official driver for windows 7 64 bit is 358.91, I'm not aware of a 358.98, I just checked nvidias' site and the latest they have listed is 358.91.
To disable sli, go back to your nvidia control panel and under sli/phyx tab click on "disable sli".
 
It depends on the game and to a certain extent the video driver, but nvidia handles that not me or ember, if you disable sli mode, you'll have 1 board handling video and the other board
handling phyx.

I'd have your stronger board doing video and your weaker board doing phyx.
 
Okay, i tried to launch BO3 (the newest call of duty) it crashes at the intro? I did show some green flashing stuff?
 
Go back to your nvidia control panel and under the "sli and phyx configuration" tab, go to "phyx" selection on the right-hand side and in the drop down box select your weaker board and then click the "dedicate to phyx"
button.
 
I doubt the crashing is being caused by the driver, if you look on the steam forums, a lot of people are having this problem with the game, the green your seeing is probably the visual sli indicator bar on the left-hand side of
the screen.
 
Well yes, if your telling the driver to dedicate 1 of your video boards to only phsx, that means it won't be doing any video processing, so sli mode will be disabled.
 
I'm completley confused atm? Isn't this sli, supose to make better performance? How can it do that, when sli is disabled? I'm really confused?
 
There's nothing to be confused about, if you want sli mode you'll have to turn off dedicated phyx mode, you can't dedicate 1 of your boards to something other then video processing and still have full sli mode.
in full sli mode both boards are running phyx as needed, the driver automatically selects which board will do that.
 
Yes, that's the whole point of sli mode, both boards will be involved in video and phyx at the same time.
 
This should improve overall performance, but that also depends on how well the game your running handles sli mode.

If your referring to cod3, it should run good, I'm running that on my computer in sli mode
and it runs just fine.
You might have to manually adjust the sli profile for cod3 using nvidia inspector, I had to do
that on my system.
