ULI i SLI

Although NVIDIA has yet to grant SLI certification to non-nForce chipsets, it appears that ULi's latest core logic supports the GPU-teaming technology. HKEPC Hardware managed to get (in Chinese, bring a translator) a pair of GeForce 7800 GTX graphics cards working in SLI on ASRock's 939SLi-eSATA2, a motherboard that uses ULi's M1697 chipset. HKEPC used an "SLI Enabled" chipset driver from ASRock's own web site, although that driver seems to have disappeared from the motherboard's download page.

The ULi chipset's SLI performance looks every bit as good as that of the nForce4 SLI. However, if the ULi chipset driver has already been pulled, it seems likely that NVIDIA will take further steps to disable unauthorized SLI support with its next graphics driver update. NVIDIA has already confirmed that its priority is certifying nForce-based motherboards for SLI, and despite its recent acquisition on ULi, NVIDIA appears to be in no rush to let SLI play on other platforms.

... zanimljivo

Pa ne otimaju oni od svojih usta, uli je njihov

da ali poznavajući nvidiju neće dati da SLI radi na bilo čemu osim njohovih chipseta tak da mislim da od toga ništa

Mali update:

Upcoming core logic company ULi may be NVIDIA's newest addition, but the company still has an ace or two it hasn't shown



Several weeks ago we reported that ASRock's newest ULi based motherboards were not going to get SLI support, even though NVIDIA had recently purchased ULi. Last night, several websites started posting direct downloads to a driver patch issued by ULi that actually patches current NVIDIA drivers force Detonator into thinking the M1697 Northbridge is an "SLI-ready" core logic.

The driver detects if you are running a ULi based motherboard, and then patches the Detonator drivers into thinking SLI should work correctly. If a ULi chipset is not detected, the utility will quit out with the message "ULi Chipset Not Found !!" Getting the driver to work with other chipsets is probably just a matter of playing with a few registry values. The utility claims that it only enables "ULi PowerExpress Engine," but the end effect seems to be that SLI support appears in the Detonator control panel.

Intel, SiS, VIA and ATI opted out of paying the NVIDIA license fee for SLI. ULi never reportedly paid for the SLI license either, but now that ULi technically is NVIDIA, any sort of licensing should be moot.

izgleda da ipak bude nešto od toga

Evo kolko vidim na Asrock-ovom webu, postoje 2 SLI maticne, mislim da je razlika u PCB-u i to sto je jedna 2x16 SLI a druga 2x8 SLI

Kod nas, vidim je ova slabija, 500kn dodje u Diskontu...nije lose

Evo, NGO uspio modati Asrockov ULI-SLI patch tako da bi to sad trebalo (u teoriji) raditi na bilo kojoj ploči/čipsetu sa dvostrukim PEG slotovima.
