Sounds like you can change lower level settings for both cards when running an SLI or Crossfire setup now. If so, that's very cool. Kind of wish I had that ability when I was experimenting with trying to SLI two unlocked 6200s 😛

Now we just need new drivers for G80 to support the combined AA modes.

hey avalon, how did the experiment go with the sli'ed 6200s (i have this image in my mind that you modded them to become 6600s but i dont know if thats true)?

IIRC some of them can have pipes enabled to become essentially 6600 cards. I'm thinking the non TC models without a bridge chip.

This version shows the diabled stream processor block. I tried enabling it on my 8800GTS but didn't do anything. I wonder if the processors are actually defective or just disabled.

It was very buggy because I couldn't get it to completely work. At the time there was no way to flash the cards to unlock them, but I flashed to change their deviceID to 6600 cards. That way it let me soft-SLI them on my SLI-D board. Only problem was at the time, Rivatuner would only see one card, and even then, when I had two cards plugged into my system, the unlocking process wouldn't even stick for just the one card.

I was able to run some benchmarks with the cards locked (essentially two 4 pipeline 6600s), and while the framerates were way up as opposed to a single locked 6200, it was about the same as a single unlocked 6200. However, games like FEAR were stuttering like crazy, and a couple other games were artifacting like mad.

So I scrapped the project. Would have been cool if this version of Rivatuner let me unlock both cards individually. I bet it'd work then 😀
