SLI on a GA-890FXA-UD5?
« 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.
Remember, when all else fails a cup of tea and a good swear will often help! It won't solve the problem but it will make you feel better.

Yes.

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