I don't do SLI, so this question is on behalf of another...

Apparently some time back (unknown atm) this person attached to GpuGrid and then could not enable SLI at all for their gaming. Is this a normal issue? Or an isolated one? If it was an issue--has it been fixed?

Currently waiting for more info....but I thought I would toss this out there.....


Edit: A bit more info:

This is all going a bit off topic for wcg section but here goes. I believe I was running 182.08 (xp64) with 2 gtx 280s when I attached and I got a message to the effect cuda wasn't supported so I found and installed the appropriate cuda driver but then I couldn't enable sli. Tried bouncing around a couple different drivers but then I got into the issue of no rivatuner or evga gvt support and it just turned into way too much hassle.

when you install the video driver it should have a option. control panel if you want to enable or disable cuda.... also the older mobo have a option also in the bios. you have to read the manual from mobo to see what it is set on

Apparently the option in the control panel did not work. Regardless of whether or not he had the ability to click the radio button and apply--it apparently did not work.

I would possibly go along with the bios setting, except enabling sli was possible before attaching to gpugrid and after....ultimately, that's the problem....question....

This individual is quite computer literate, so there's some esoteric issue. I was just wondering if it's "common" or if someone might have the answer.....
