Hi there..i'm new to SLI.. Yesterday i tried to put my 8500 GT onto my Fatal1ty FP IN9 SLI. Fired it up, the system detects both GC..
The prob is i can't enable my SLI, coz the option in the control panel is not there...
need help on this..

I tried using the lastest one, but still no option to enable it..

I searched in the bios, but there's no option there..

My rig spec:
Intel Q6600 2.4GHz, Abit FP IN9 SLI, 2GB Kingston DDR2 RAM, 2xGigabyte 8500 GT, 2x180 GB WD SATA HDD, 550W Huntkey SLI Ready PSU, Windows XP Professional SP3.

Yes, both GC is 8500 GT..
The option to enable SLI is not in the nTune control panel, but my GPU-Z detect both GC and "SLI available", and I can't enable it..
I searched through the internet for this problem, and still can't find any solution.

I did both..
I also tried switch both GC between both PCIE, but still not there.
Most SLI config will auto detect when there are two GC inserted. But mine didn't..

I don't think my mobo got problems..
Maybe one of my GC is the problem..
Last 6 month, the GC damaged and it went RMA..
Got repaired and sometimes when I play games, it crash..

I've downloaded the latest ntune, nforce and forceware.
Still, the system did not auto recognize and show the SLI config..

I'm thinking of buying 2 9800GT next year..

ya, maybe...nvm, i'll buy new GC next year..
GTX280? ur right...huhuhuu
but still mahal lor...not enough money lor...
juz want to make one budget SLI rig..later on i'll make one high end rig..hihi

ya ya!
totally agree with that..
can't wait for gc price to drop..

Mav, when u run Crysis, how much fps did u get?
With high config?

thats nice..
mine even with low res and medium setting, still below 25-20 fps..
sometimes even crash when under heavy load....damn
does anyone else here played crysis with smooth fps rate, with SLI enabled?

I did switch it to SLI mode.
my gpuz detect "SLI available", but in nTune, the option to enable SLI is not there.
both 8500 GT is detected, and i switch between both PCIE slots.
still, its not there...

i see...
but my GPUZ display "Disabled (SLI available)"
i've tried running both cards in Race Driver: GRID, and i noticed something..
the fps is slightly increased when i played the game..
i'm not so sure bout it, whether it was enabled or not..


i've switched it many times, still the same.
it did not auto detect on nTune..
i'm so pening right now..

i'm looking for a new intel SLI mobo..
does the new XFX 750i SLI will do better?
it's the new "mom" after all..
or is it the same as Asus P5ND SLI?

they just did, few weeks ago..
i think it is...but i'm not sure bout that setting la..
and i do have some people with itchy hands around my PC..
maybe it can be deactivate in the BIOS..
the new XFX mobo looks nice...and got ESA too
hope the price is affordable..

haha..definately..
but i think the new "mom" will arrive here at the end of the year..
i can't wait..

does the evga mobo is available here?
its hard 4 me to find it..

i c...
between 9600GT, 9800GT and 8800GT, which one is better in SLI config?

so....i think 9800GT SLI is a bit better...maybe..
i heard GTX is coming in with new cards, isn't it?

really...?
but i haven't see any of them at other places..
can u confirm this..?

true, but that mobo using an old nForce 570i chipset..
consider buying the latest mobo with latest chipset..like nForce 780i or 750i SLI..
750i mobo is cheaper..

okay, if ur on a budget, how much is it?
there are many big differences between old and new chipsets.
new chipsets allow better performance, overclocking, and new technologies like PCIE 2.0...
for a head start, i think u better take a look at 650i or 750i nForce mobo..
or even better the 780i mobo (recommended)
like me, i bought the Abit FP IN9 SLI which using 650i nForce chip, for a beginner on budget.
everything depends on how much ur budget really is to build an SLI system...

i see...
maybe they will arrive late this year...
can't wait..
btw, how much is EVGA's 750i mobo?
is it any better than the ASUS P5N-D SLI?

i think ur mobo only support for SLI, not crossfire..

right..
how come there are still no review bout that mobo?
