I'm trying to use it right now, and it can't find the patch =/...

If you're running driver 347.09 you need to put the modified nvlddmkm.sys located under the folder nvlddmkm347.09 into the C:\DifferentSLIAuto1.1_2 folder and then run Install #2.




 
I want to buy you lunch, seriously. Thank you!

The reason you're receiving this error is because the nvlddmkm.sys file is missing from the C:\DifferentSLIAuto1.1_2 folder.

Ok, you now need to run Install #2. You don't need to run DifferentSLI Patcher or Install #1.

@Sanjin : I owe you a sixpack. I googled myself in here in a state of panic. But man... whatever voodo this was. It worked! Cheers!
 
and btw... Why did the sli stop working just because I switched the cards around. The top (780ti classified) runs about 15-20 C hotter than the bottom one, so I wanted to see if was the card itself or the position that F things up. Turns out one of the card gets a lot hotter than the other.
 
But again! thanks! :)

SLI shouldn't have stopped working from just switching the cards around. Sounds like an SLI bridge/SLI finger issue.

Hmm... I tried two bridges, one of them works now. After a bit more testing it seems its the same card that gets quite a bit hotter. 20-30 degrees. Could be a bad card? I don't know if that can be a warranty issue perhaps..... at least they are in SLI now.

15-30C difference is a pretty big deal. Are you running them sandwiched together or is their a gap between them?

There is a gap. So slot 1 and 3. I'll have to write EVGA I guess. See how long the warranty is. Recon I bought the cards over a year ago...

Sounds like your case needs better airflow since both cards run hot in the top slot. Are you running a custom fan profile on the cards?

Sorry I confused you there... I thought the top ones where hot. But it seem its the same card that has an issue(?). Since it gave me a day of error-hunting I'm not too keen to move them around again. But I might have to. But they should be pretty much even in temp yea? I have them hooked up to Corsair link and run the fans pretty high. The case is a Corsaire 540, witch should be pretty ok for airflow. I'm not convinced of the design though. most of the air goes though the top if you ask me...

If only one card is getting hot then it sounds like that one card may need to have it's thermal paste reapplied as it may have dried out a bit causing the temp increase. Yes, both cards should be pretty close in temps. My cards run at 60/62C when both are at 95-99% load, however, I'm using stock blower coolers instead of ACX.

hm.. I'm playing Wasteland 2 now. Probably not the most demanding game. One card is 30 and one is 52. I regret getting the acx. I should just watercool them. but I don't have time now sadly.

Sounds like one card is idling while the other is getting used. Wasteland 2 may not support SLI. Try running Unigine Heaven 4.0 @ max settings to see how hot both cards get.

Well. Turns out I owe you bottle of Scotch too. I have no problem with my cards. The temps are very even 60 or 72 depending on the test. 4 seconds on Google shows that that particular game does not have generic sli support (witch is probably why I haven't thought about temp differences before).  So; on that, case closed. Again thanks!... .. .. gee it's really nice and warm in here now :)

Re: Can't SLI 780 6gb 2015/05/28 13:26:12 (permalink)
so i followed what you said, got it working- but then ran into an issue where the driver stops responding and give me a nvidia kernal error, so to rectify that i tried re installing the drivers from a clean install- and now when i try to patch it with differentsliauto, it doesnt find the patch.  in fact sometimes it gives me a message stating "this program isnt working correctly" and automatically shuts down
 
- so then i tried with an older version (1.1) and it does the same thing "cant find the patch"
 
strange, i got it to work the first time but now i cant seem to replicate it.  im stumped

ok, thanks man (you really are awesome)
 
so now im back to square one... sli is enabled through the differentsliauto hack, but i get the flashing screen when in full screen- which can be worked around by switching to borderless mode.   i know its not caused by the sli bridge, since apparently im not using it now, but think anyone can shine some light on why so many bugs are needed to be worked around considering how sli is supposed to work flawlessly when using the same model?
 
i have an evga 970 paired with a msi 970 if that matters
 
the flickering happens on every game i try (far cry 4, watch dogs, tomb raider, witcher 3, shadow of mordor, etc)
ive tinkered with the resolution settings in the nvidia control panel, and it seemed to fix the flickering last time but then thats what caused the display driver to stop responding with the kernal error, **** lol
 
it never ends

What did you change inside the nvidia control panel to stop the flickering that caused the kernel error?

You're suppose to copy the original "nvlddmkm.sys" file from the "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\" folder and put it in the same folder as the patcher.

i did.. i kept getting and error message and the program shut itself down- so then i tried the installer anyway (as an administrator) with the replaced file in there and rebooted and still didnt have it enabled
 
maybe i shouldnt have updated to the newer drivers?
 
just says (sli connector is missing)

well i think i missed the fact that i wasnt supposed to use the file that comes with the updated drivers- but the "original one"
 
got it working again but i had to go back to the previous driver to make it happen

Say, I need to know, how do you go about putting windows 7 back to normal, i.e. without that Test Mode showing, that is what I think is preventing me from being able to ever upgrade to windows 10?
 
thanx..............md
