3 way SLI bridge connection works with only 2 GPU's

NF980=G65 Mobo.
 I've read at least one post here a while back about somebody having a problem with a jumpy or flashing screen when in SLI mode with 2 GPU's.  He stated that he tried using 2 ribbon connections & that fixed the problem.
 Well, I'd like to report that I have 2 GTX 260 GPU's installed in SLI mode & they each have 2 ribbon connections.
 This made me wonder if I can use the solid 3 way SLI bridge connection instead of only one ribbon.
Answer= Yes,, it works,, & it seems that I do have a faster transfer rate when I swap pages from one page to another.
 Example. When I play my favorite online games I always use Ventrilo or Teamspeak2 VOIP applications to talk to my friends & team mates during game play. If I need to see who is on Ventrilo, I use the windows key to swap or change the screen back & forth from the game screen to the Ventrilo screen. I notice that the transfer rate or the time it takes to change screens is almost instant using the 3 way SLI bridge with my 2 duel ribbon connection GTX 260's. Try it if you have GPU's like this. You'll see.  Happy gaming

Thanks for reporting your findings.

  • X99S GAMING 9 AC - 3-WAY SLI BRIDGE...?

    Hello everyone,
    I got this mainboard and installed 3 titan cards in the pci slots 1, 2 & 4... To get this to work in sli, I use my old asus 3-way sli bridge with 6 connection points. This is not the best solution since its running on 8x-8x-8x on the pci buss... Iwe asked msi for help because in the manual it says I can run 16x-16x-8x if i put the 3 titans in slot 1, 4 & 5... Now they have sent me 4 "single wide-sli" bridges that I can put on... Since I use 3 cards will only be needing 3 of these bridges... But can anyone please post an image how to do this...? Iwe had several mainboards before, and the sli bridges for 3 and 4-way sli has allways been bundled with the mainboard. I remember my evga x58 mainboard had 2 different 3-way "doube wide-sli" bridges and 1 4-way bridge included for different innstallations of the graphic cards...
    If you see on page 12 in this evga document, the sli bridges i thought was bundled with the msi mainboard are shown, and the long 3-way bridge looks like the one I thought msi was going to send me: Ok, link did not work...
    Try google 141-bl-e759.pdf

    Thor, I am setting up a 980 3 way SLI with the 5930k...do you managed to get the cards working at slots PCIE 1,4 e 5 at full speed (16x,16x,8x) with the crossed bridge? It reaches slot 1 to slot 5 crossing? Is that it?
    Or you get full pcie speeds with slots 1,2 and 4? What solved the problem? Can you post an image of the cards in the slots?
    Thanks!
    Hi jpouza, Im not allowed to post a link to an image of my sli bridges on this forum, but I can describe it:
    Im using 3 sli bridges from msi that is 13.8cm long each...
    I have the cards in slot 1, 4 and 5, this is running at 16x16x8x... This is the best as you know (40Lanes)...
    I have tried before 1,2 and 4 @ 8x8x8x, and this gives a lower result in benchmarks...
    One display card have 2 plugs, lets call them 1 and 2 (counting from the left to the right)... The " " sign represents the pci slots:
    First:     Connect one bridge between display card "1" plug 1 and display card "4" plug 1...
    Second: Connect one bridge between display card "4" plug 2 and display card "5" plug 2...
    Last:      Connect one bridge between display card "5" plug 1 and display card "1" plug 2...
    This last bridge is a little tricky because its in my opinion just a little to short, but you can put it on carefully...
    The Blue image earlier in this post shows the 8x8x8x setup, since the distance between the cards are equal...
    In the 16x16x8x the connections are the same, but you need longer sli bridges because you use pci slot 1, 4 & 5...
    Hope this helps you...

  • Why does my imessage not work with only 1 phone number

    Why does my imessage not work with only 1 phone number? It keeps going to imessage and then back to text message

    Both you and the recipient have to have active data connections, and both devices have to have iOS 5 or higher to be able to use iMessage. Also, they both have to have iMessage activated. If that is already the case, there is a possiblility that iMessage is down. It has gone up and down several times in the past week. Check this page for status, and if necessary you can report a problem with a link in the lower right corner. http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/systemstatus/

  • Trouble getting Dlink DWL-G820 wireless bridge to work with wrt610n

    I'm trying to get some dlink wireless bridges to work with wrt610n, but not having any luck.  I left Wrt610n router with default "192.168.1.1" IP address and configured bridges accordingly with "192.168.1.xxx" adresses.
    Wireless bridges not happy.  Any ideas ?  The bridges were working fine when i was using "192.168.0.xxx" ip addresses with wrt610n
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Well I'll give you full points for reading my question, but zero points for quality of answer.  If it was that simple I would have done it. 
    Unfortunately circumstances have changed and I have both a 192.168.0.xxx LAN & 192.168.1.xxx LAN now and the DWL-G820 (Dlink) wireless bridges must be part of the 192.168.1.xxx LAN (WRT610N Linksys router).  For some reason they won't work when I configure them to be part of a 192.168.1.xxx LAN.
    I'm beginning to think it's a diabolical plot by either Linksys or Dlink to prevent each other's equipment from working together.

  • WLC 2106 and Linksys Bridge WET610N works with 7.0.116.0 release?

    Hi all,
    i'm having troubles with WLC 2106 controller and several wireless bridges, so i'd like to know if i can fix it in some way.
    My environment is as follows:
    1 WLC 2106 with 2 Aironet 1240G
    I have a production appliance that needs an ethernet port to work, so i bought a Linksys Bridge WET610N to make it works via wireless.
    The Linksys bridge connects to the 1240G as a client and works well, but the appliance connected to the ethernet port of the bridge is unreachable.
    Searching for the problem, i found that the wlc act as a proxy arp for the wireless clients and being the ethernet appliance a "passive" client, the controller isn't aware of it.
    My WLC is running the 7.0.98.0 firmware. In the release notes for the 7.0.116.0, in the "Non-Cisco WGB Support" seems to state that now also non cisco bridges can work using the passive client feature. I've already enabled it on my controller but this didn't solve my problem.
    Can anyone tell me if the upgrade to the 7.0.116.0 can fix it?
    Thanks in advance
    Riccardo Coppola

    I'm not sure what (cheap) devices can do the wgb feature that is inter-brand compatible.
    The thing is that the WLC enforces the rule "1 wireless client = 1 client". Meaning you can't bridge multiple clients behind a wireless clients, that just screws up roaming mechanisms etc ...
    Cisco WGBs have the IAPP protocol to tell the WLC "listen, I'm a WGB wireless client and those are the wired clients connected to me, allow them on the network".
    What does "universal WGB" feature does is that the WGB forwards the traffic of the client (only 1 client supported in this case !) to the infrastructure AP but the WGB never sends anything with its own mac address. It uses the client mac address as source.
    This means that the WLC has no way of knowing that there is more than 1 device. It just thinks that your wired client is a wireless client.
    So it's more than mac cloning since the WgB has to be the one authenticating to the infrastructure (Wpa/wpa2 whatsoever) by spoofing the client mac. The WGB is still in charge of roaming decisions and so on and so on...
    I hope it clarifies the situation ?

  • Will PCI-CAN card work with only 2 wires?

    If I'm using my PCI-CAN card configured for internal power, do I need to connect anything other than CAN-L & CAN-H to my CAN network? I'm doing this right now and am able to correctly receive packets thru the card. However, it appears that my transmitted packets are not being seen by the other nodes. I'll know more when my CANalyzer arrives, but I was wondering if my cabling is OK as-is.

    I currently have a connection set up with only CAN-L and CAN-H wires connected. I am able to transmit and receive with no problems at 500kbs, so it should work as long as the lines are properly terminated. (120ohm resistor bridging the wires at both ends)

  • Digital Camcorder & router/Airport USB 2.0 to connect eMac with only USB 1

    I've looked around and asked many sources, only to come to the same conclusion that I already thought I knew... no way to go from USB 2.0 through another interface to use firewire on an eMac with only USB 1.1.
    I'm curious if anyone has connected a router with a USB 2.0 to an older mac, eMac and/or TiBook in my case via ethernet so that a digital camcorder might appear under the ip-based items available from the router?
    there is no reason, other than it being painfully slow over USB 1.1 to think beyond the eMac as it otherwise does every task necessary for my in-laws perfectly. never had a single problem that wasn't caused by their inexperience with a computer, which also makes using a mac so much easier to troubleshoot and fix. they just bought a nice digital hdd (hard disk drive, not hd res) camcorder that communicates via USB 2.0 (as almost all do nowadays).
    will any router, or more-specifically an Airport router, be able to communicate with the camcorder via its own USB 2.0 interface and then distribute that data over ethernet to the eMac, or would the router be hamstrung by the same USB 1.1 bottleneck that would affect it if done directly.
    I'm also open to other alternatives... I haven't had a chance to play with the camcorder yet, but I imagine that it will somehow mount to the desktop were it able to comm via 2.0. any thoughts?
    cheers,

    hi duane,
    thanks for the quick reply. excellent info.
    i noticed that your email said more than the post, did you edit out the last statement, as that was what i was going to comment on...?
    my digi camcorder, a tape-based model, does show up like a volume on the desktop, but i wasn't sure of the new hd-based one that my in-laws purchased would. i am able to see the other not just in imovie, so perhps it will mount in the usb port of a router. i don't have an AEBS, but would purchase one specifically for this use if it did work. however i will test it on my us robotics and belkin models that have usb as well. i might also try my NAS drive that has a usb port for daisy-chaining more usb items.
    the good thing is that the bottleneck on the emac won't affect the process, it's just a matter of whether the hdd-camcorder can be mounted via one of the other options.
    thanks for the other comments, i'll mark as answered once i see how it goes...
    anyone else have any thoughts?
