sparkey247 Posted May 31, 2010 Posted May 31, 2010 are drivers that are moded to allow sli to run on intel chipsets allowed? Quote
Crew Turrican Posted May 31, 2010 Crew Posted May 31, 2010 it's a hack http://xdevs.com/e107_plugins/content/content.php?content.30 Quote
Crew Antinomy Posted May 31, 2010 Crew Posted May 31, 2010 I think he means whether they are allowed at HWBot. And the answer is yes. The only thing the mod does is override the SLI blocking depending on devID of the chipset Quote
Dreadlockyx Posted May 31, 2010 Posted May 31, 2010 So, if I understood well, this mod is possible only for a specific Intel chipset ? Quote

Crew Antinomy Posted May 31, 2010 Crew Posted May 31, 2010 Modification tools described here can be used to force the NVIDIA graphics driver to detect supported chipset «Intel X58», regardless of what the real hardware chipset present in system. After receiving the identification of a "X58" chipset, videocard driver checks for the correct certificate from BIOS to check "compatibility" with SLI tech, which should be located in the system table DSDT, which is a part of ACPI. Initially, the data tables are loaded from the computer's BIOS, but later, if BIOS wasn't changed, used from the regular OS registry entry by Windows. I began explaining this but then thought that TiN definetely has written this kind of stuff, so I just added a quote Quote

TiN Posted July 2, 2010 Posted July 2, 2010 Sorry guys, yes, link is updated to /eplugins because of site engine update Quote
Massman Posted July 2, 2010 Posted July 2, 2010 Any idea if it's possible to hack the QuadSLI functionality into software? Quote
TiN Posted July 2, 2010 Posted July 2, 2010 It's possible but needs lots of hardware (cards with NV bridge and w/o it). No useful sense to do that. E.g. we can do QuadSLI with 480s w/o any hacks, same with 295s and 285s. What else needed? Quote
Massman Posted July 2, 2010 Posted July 2, 2010 That's what needed: quad sli with GTX480's without the need to buy the expander or either two "4-way boards" Quote
TiN Posted July 3, 2010 Posted July 3, 2010 Massman So 4-sli dont work in non-nf200 boards? idk, dont have 480s Quote
Massman Posted July 3, 2010 Posted July 3, 2010 For 4-Way SLI, you need two NF200 bridges But that's just to enable it in the drivers. Not a technical limitation. Quote
Crew Antinomy Posted July 3, 2010 Crew Posted July 3, 2010 It always was a marketing issue, not a hardware NV SLI was demonstrated on Intel chipsets and then they became "incompatible" Quote
