Title: SLI on a GA-890FXA-UD5?
Post by: Dooglo on December 20, 2011, 04:11:38 am

Was wondering if anyone knows if you can sli two cards on this board?  I know that you can crossfire.  But how about the other way?

Thanks,

D.

Hi there,

As you say the board supports crossfire but not SLI. I have read of users running SLI, but if I remember correctly they had to use modified NVidia drivers and I don't know how successful they were.

Yes.

You Should enable "Virtualization" in Bios And there is a Patch Called Hyper Sli.
