SLi in Vista Ultimate

**Aus_Karlos** · 03-21-2007, 07:32 AM

Hi, can anyone tell me how to get SLi working in vista or is it not supported yet...

Ive got 2 Nvidia Geforce 7900GTO's, Vista Detects both cards and they are working.. But when i go to the Nvidia control panel half of the options arent there including Enabling SLi...

Other options are, Custom Timing, Or Set Display as HDTV...
Im also unable to change any resolutions in games, they are all stuck on 1024 x 768 and my windows desktop is set to 1280x720 (which i want for all the games)

Thanks

Thats why i carnt find Custom Timings then.
I require a custom resolution for windows and all apps but the strange part is that Vista has configured itself to the resolution but all the apps run at
1024x768 (4:3) and i require 1280x720 (6:9) and im unable to change the resolution any higher then 1024x768

EDIT::: Ive found Nvidia Beta 101.41 Drivers for Vista x64, it has support for SLi for 6/7 series. If i install this, can i suspect odd things like gliches or any other graphical corruption.. And do u advise in installing beta drivers

Does anyone know when the next wave of drivers for Vista x64 are coming out for Nvidia
