NF4 SLI Problems

Have a DFI NF4 SLI-DR Lan Party motherboard with 2 XFX 6800 GT video cards.
With 32BIT WinXP it will go into SLI mode as soon as you enable it in the
video drivers. But in 64Bit WinXP it will not go into SLI mode. It just
looks like to seperate video cards. Any suggestions???

There was posting here a week or two ago citing information from nVidia
that the 64-bit SLI drivers would be out sometime this summer.
Apparently SLI does not function correctly in x64 because the
appropriate drivers have not been released.

Go to http://www.guru3d.com
They have beta 64bit SLI drivers. I got a gigabyte board and running to 6800
ultra's, and it rocks. There the only drivers i could find that sli worked in
64bit.

David,

The one you want is the modified Nvidia Forceware driver for 64bit 76.71

The X64 driver on Nvidia's site will work but SLI wont be enabled. The link
below should take you to the correct drivers.
