chispy Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Hi , good day guys , i have found a Bug in GPUZ running SLI. I have been doing some testing for the last few weeks using MVE , MVG and 2x 8800GTX SLI, I have tried to use old drivers but i ran into a lot of trouble and i was unable to activate SLI in good old drivers in XP32 or W7x64 on Z77 chipset even when GPUZ shows SLI Available there was no option in Nvidia control pannel to activate SLI. I started testing latest and new drivers 2xx drivers family and 3xx drivers family , finally i was able to activate sli in control panel with newer drivers but GPUZ shows SLI disable eventhought SLI it is activated and fully working. Just a heads up of this bug on Z77 and new drivers with GPUZ while using old 8800GTX VGAs. Maybe a bug report to GPUZ maker would be the best option to a fix for this Bug.

K404 Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Yea, same problems. I solve it by mixing together: 3 parts more MHz, 4 parts different drivers 3 parts pretending I don't care about score efficiency Bake at between -40 and -80 for 2 hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eeky NoX Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 This screen was made in december with 280.26 driver as you can see (GPU-Z 0.5.5). I tried with 285.36 one and same isssue (whatever GPU-Z version), but better efficiency ...really need to improve that shitty screenie ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chispy Posted October 11, 2012 Author Share Posted October 11, 2012 select the second card from the drop down menu in gpu-z. it should show sli active then. Hi Turrican and thanks for replying , It does not work as i did try that already many times, no matter how many GPZ tabs i tried to open from the first GPU or second GPU drop down menu it will only show sli disable , it does not show sli enabled in GPUZ no matter what i do.
