Sorry, maybe I should have looked at the link, seems like you have to call the MS support number for them to fix it, but if you have vista and multi gpu, could be worth a shot.

Very interesting. I think it's like the first time that MS officially recognized SLI/Crossfire via their patches/hotfix?

Yes, please! Or at least before and after impressions and if there were problems/improvements/quirks

Is there any way to fix the fact that I can't enable SLI without hosing my driver install?

After the reboot on x64 I come back with no video drivers.

I installed this hotfix, now to re-install the latest WHQL from NVIDIA to see if that helps.



680i w/two 7900GTO & Vista x64.

[UPDATE]

This hotfix + 162.22's from Guru3D & SLI is working great - 10,400 in 3DMark06.

what was your score before the update Viper?

I have Crossfire Currently enabled, with 2 X1900GT's rev 2 I thought it worked but never tested it. well I'll run 3dmark 06 and then see what score I get.

edit: it seems vista doesn't see the second card but neither does CCC. weird

I am however getting 7000 in 06 so I don't think it's actually affecting crossfire. The ORB reads it as 1 X1900Gt getting 7000 in 06... heh
should I download the hotfox?
