SLI now on ANY board!



Anyone interested in running SLI on a NON nvidia board?there were some rumours about this a while ago,but now here is a guide on how to do it

SLI on any board

I have a feeling tha Nvidia are not going to be happy about this,and will be re-writing the check system in their drivers to stop it

Awesome piece of hackery.

I do hope their exploits cover a set of drivers that include the dx11 release.

Otherwize I personally would have shut the hell up about any guide or anything until the drivers are out.

Reason being, if they put a stop to this in 191.xx drivers, there'll possibly be no hope for Win7 uses and the hack will fall away with no Dx11 support.

Think I would have w8d b4 blabbing myself. It's far too close to have blown it.

They wont allow it on all mb because you have to pay a license fee to use it and mb manufactors wont if they dont need to.

Yeah which would really have prompted me to w8 until the details of their cards atleast appeared in the drivers.

We're talking about a couple of months at the most versus not having Dx11 possibilities.

May well be a case of "look what I/we can do, let's show every1", instead of sitting on it.

The licensing for SLI/xfire is down to the agreements between the vendor and manufacturer. Both camps argue these agreements. Any reason to not issue an agreement wouldn't be on a "cos u smell" basis, there would be reasons - even tho it's nicer to assume they do it cos their nasty people.
