gpl in sli mode

by neil cannin » Sat, 09 Jan 1999 04:00:00

just got a 8 meg m3d2 to go with the other i have.Now everytime i try gpl
with SLI enabled my computer crashes!

this happens with halflife too so im assuming it is affecting all 3dfx
games.
When i disable SLI all is fine again.
Ihave tried all the drivers except the 2.05 version which i know has problem
with gpl.
Anyone had this problem are know of a soluition?
What am i doing wrong?

Have you tried the new card by itself, just in case it's bad?

AFAIK you can only run in SLI mode using 12mb V2's, not using the 8mb ones.

Though I may be wrong of course...

Ummmmm, you are.  The requirements for SLI are:

1) Both cards have the same amount of memory (2 8mb cards can be SLI'd,
but an 8mb card can't be combined with a 12mb card).

2) Both cards have to come from the same manufacturer (I'm not sure if
this one is true any more).

gpl in sli mode

I'm running GPL in SLI mode with 2 8meg Diamond Monster II's. It works
fine for me, but I had to reinstall the diamond monster drivers after
installing the game. It somehow wiped out my drivers, they're really
touchy in SLI mode

Hope this helps
Yoyo
