sli problems

[edjahman]

I finally got sli working. Aquamark runs but there is a lot of weird video problems like flashing lights weird colors etc. 3d mark 05 runs great with a score of about 12000. 3d mark 06 has the same problem as aquamark. I did install the latest drivers, 84.43 from nvidia. I dont get it. Does anyone know whats up?? Is it because the cards are so new?? 7900 gtx's. Maybe I should use the driver remover program?? Whatever it's called...Driver cleaner maybe?

 

Thanks Guys!

Plus if I plug the DVI into the bottom card, I have no video. I thought your supposed to use the bottom right DVI connector?? Help!

 

Thanks a lot Guys.

hmm, I just realized my board is upside down so I have it plugged into the top left.

No issues (7800GTs anyway) but I'll see if there is a dif in performance tomorrow.

 

Yes, use Driver Cleaner Pro (www.driverheaven.net) and you use it in SAFE MMODE after doing add/remove programs and rebooting into SAFE MODE.

 

Try the WHQL 84.25s from the nVidia site. I wasn't that impressed with 84.43s

Well, my board is not in upside down but it only works if I use the top card. I did manage to get aquamark and 3d mark 06 to run well. I only got 8161 in 3d mark 06. Is that a good score for SLI 7900 GTX cards??

 

Thanks Guys. What a pain SLI was to setup.

yes it's a good score. What was the problem with 3D06? What did you do?

Don't know where I saw it (it's not in either manual) but I've always used top card/left DVI and it's worked well from day one.

Well, I'm using the top card and I dont really notice the difference between left or right. Anyone know if their is a difference?

 

Thank You.
