Probelms with SLI and DirectX
Hi all
I am having problems getting any directX game to start with SLI enabled. I do have two Nvidia 8800 GTX SLI boards on Windows XP SP3. When I disable SLI everything works fine (of course without SLI), when SLI is enabled dxdiag and every DirectX game claims that directX is not available. I installed the very latest Nvidia drivers as well but no change. Any clues ? -- Kai Reichert |

Probelms with SLI and DirectX
1. After enabling SLI, are you rebooting before launching a game? In the old
days this was necessary. 2. Is this a new system build? Make sure SLI is enabled in BIOS (if there is such a setting) or for an older board, the switch card is in the correct orientation. 3. Use only one SLI bridge, even though each card has two connectors. See: http://www.overdrivepc.com/images/8800sli.gif 4. Try installing the latest DX9.0c release (Nov. 2008). http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means. It can therefore be said that politics is war without bloodshed while war is politics with bloodshed." "Kai Reichert" wrote in message ...
