14 DAY TRIAL // It appears that NVIDIA has finally provided its customers with the driver needed to enable a certain feature on motherboard based on AMD chipsets, even if it is just a beta version of the software.
Some time ago, it was announced that certain motherboards based on chipsets from advanced micro devices would start to support SLI multi-GPU configurations.
Needless to say, this had a far-reaching effect on the enthusiasm of many end-users, even though some snags were hit along the way.
Specifically, some time after the announcement was made, it was discovered that there was, in fact, no such support in place. At least not yet.
As some may have guessed, the problem was not a hardware issue, but in regards to the fact that drivers capable of enabling the new functionality had not been developed yet.
Now, the Santa Clara, California-based GPU maker has, at last, delivered its newest driver version, although, true enough, it is just a beta release lacking most of the usual full set of optimizations to gaming performance, bug fixes and other such things.
Simply put, only two main new elements are brought into the equation by the package, with SLI support being just one of them.
The other main asset is the improvement to 3D Zvision performance in Duke Nukem Forever with 3-way SLI and Quad SLI enabled.
As before the driver should have everything it needs for GeForce 6, 7, 8, 9, 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500-series desktop GPUs, plus ION processors.
Finally, an extra perk that only select users will enjoy is the updated list of 3D Video game profiles for Alice Madness Returns, Mars Benchmark, Rise of the immortals, Rusty Hearts and Duke Nukem Forever Demo.
