Running SLI

Has anyone any experience running two Nvidia 7600GS in SLI?
I am kind on a budget and i already have one of the above installed so qestion is if i should by another one or buy a 7900 GTO and save the rest of the money for some extra ram
I have found a preatty cheap ASUS X1950 Pro Anyone know how that will work on my Nvidia based mobo (ASUS M2N32 SLI-Deluxe)
Thank you!

If you're on budget then get the same model will give you run on SLi (7600GS). Running on different GPU in same mobo will not run in SLi. 7900GTO is a gd GPU unless if you're planning to purchase it then you better sell out your 7600GS and get the same pair of 7900GTO. All GPU has can fitted into AM2 mobo but if you're planning on CROSSFIRE then better get the CROSSFIRE mobo not NVIDIA. Gd luck.

Z68A-GD65-G3 SLI black screen lock ups

Let me start off by saying I have tried everything and I motivate everyone to prove me wrong and provide me with a solution to this issue.
System spex:
MSI z68A GD65 G3
2600k
Corsair XMS3 1600 16GB
Corsair AX1200
2 - EVGA GTX 580 3GB SLI
Running beta bios: E7681IMS.N49 from -> https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=151148.msg1144560#msg1144560
I have tried almost every BIOS under the sun, including "standard bios" ie flash back to factory BIOS
So here is the issue:
In order to run SLi I have to be at completely stock settings, if I even up the multiplier to x35 on my CPU I black screen as soon as I bench/game on the cards. If I bench only the CPU (prime95) it is fine and no issues. but again as soon as I loud up something graphics wise the screen goes black and locks up.
It isn't the cards either, each card has been tested on its own and in different PCs in SLi.
It is like the motherboard cant handle the power??????
Someone else has to be overclocking and running two power house cards like this without issues? right? what did they do different? what settings? am I missing something?
Or do I need to contact MSI and get a RMA in process.
Before adding the extra card I had my CPU @ 4.7Ghz and when I would bench it I would take it to 5Ghz+ without a issue... solid, never had a BSOD. but this extra card just kills the systems.
Again everything set to stock and the system runs great I can game on it for hours without issues.
Thanks
Nick

I am not running your PSU down, don't get me wrong. You have the best PSU by general consensus. All I am suggesting is to check it in another system under similar OC conditions with approx the same specs.
It does fine with SLI non OC, yet when you add the extra load of OC, and that can be an additonal 50 to 100W, then the PC becomes problematic.
It could be something else, but one has to start eliminating potential culprits.
Edit: Did you install Virtu ? If so, have you tried deleting it again for a test ?
Oh I understand completely and thank you for your suggestion and time, it helps me to believe that it could be my PSU even more, I am borrowing a PSU from a friend and a PSU tester from work and tonight will get a chance to do some full testing on the PSU.
If that tests out ok I will pull my PSU out and RMA it. hopefully Corsair will have a quick turn around.
Virtu isn't installed, I will double check but it was disabled in BIOS, but i have reset my BIOS so many times I will make sure it still is.
I will report back with my findings.

SLI - Can I use two different video card versions for SLI?

Hello,
Can I use two different generations of MSI video cards that implement the same GPU for SLI?
The two video cards are:
MSI N260GTX-T2D896-OCv2 GeForce GTX 260 896MB <-- What I currently have
MSI N260GTX-T2D896-OCv3 GeForce GTX 260 896MB
MSI N260GTX-T2D896-OCv4 GeForce GTX 260 896MB
The main difference between these three seems to be that the OCv3 has two fans and a different heatsink than the OCv2. The OCv4 has one fan like the OCv2 and but it is located in a different location and some weird spikey heatsink thing going on. I already have the OCv2 but I am looking to get another card for SLI and newegg doesn't sell the OCv2 anymore. The important thing is that I am looking for is stability and it seems that the most ideal setup would be to get identical cards.
By the way, why are there so many versions (updates?) to this card? Have there been issues related to the card that necessitate a revision?
Thanks

Different coolers(HS and fans) and possibly different makers of vRAM. But, you should be able to run SLI without issues regardless of the versions.

To SLI or not to SLI

I was wondering if anyone running SLI can chime in and discuss SLI on Linux and the performance gains or lack there of.
I have a spare $500 sitting around burning a hole in my pocket and I was going to pick up another GeForce 7800GTX for my machine. However, I was reading on phoronix.com that the SLI gains in performance were small. I mean, if I only get 10fps difference in Quake4 then, for me, that doesn't justify spending $500. However, if there are other noticeable gains, like desktop performance with Xcomposit or other benefits that might warrent the purchase, I might go for it.
Anyone have any experiences they care to share?
Thanks!!!

Users running the P7N Diamond and QX9650 please weigh in. I need help...

OK, I'll start from the beginning. I had an EVGA 780i mobo, which ran a Q6600 at 3ghz quite easily. Well, I decided that I had money to burn so I ordered a QX9650. It would not work on the EVGA, the cpu voltage and cpu fsb voltage would not adjust no matter what I tried. So, I popped the cpu into my kids rig, which has a DFI X38 mb and the cpu worked perfectly, voltages adjusted, multiplier adjusted, etc. During the RMA process to EVGA, I got an MSI P7N Diamond to run SLI with. Stuck the cpu in it and away I went into Vista 64, all happy. I had to bump the memory voltage up to 1.95 volts, but that was it. I then decided to raise the multi from 9 to 10. I set it, warm booted and tested it in Vista. 100% stable. 2 days later, I attempted to turn my computer on. No post. I had to power off/on very quickly to get it to post, at which point I got an error message that the cpu vid had failed or there was a mismatch with the cpu to fsb ratio, hit F1 to enter setup or F2 to load defaults. I e-mailed MSI and received beta P05 and it was just downhill from there. I couldn't cold boot at all, stock settings, OC settings, voltages adjusted, it didn't matter. So back to the shipping bios. I got a new beta this morning, dated 2/18, and it was the exact same.
Issues with both beta's:
1. Cannot cold boot.
2. Logitech G15 acts erratically prior to entering Vista.
Things I have tried:
1. Raising Vcore.
2. Raising NB/SB voltages.
2. Raising FSB Terminator voltage.
Nothing helps. MSI simply told me not to OC and run at stock and that there was no problem. Is there anyone else out there that has this cpu and mb? If so, can you post your experience with it and let me know if there is something I am doing wrong or could try?

Below is the actual transcript that I had with MSI on this issue. As far as they are concerned, I don't need to change the multiplier on my QX9650. (Start reading from the bottom up for the actual order of the conversation)
Quote
MSI Tech. 02/19/2008 Then, there is no problem with the mb.
End User 02/19/2008 There doesn't seem to be any issues with usb while on using the shipping bios, I only see it when I flash to the beta bios'.
MSI Tech. 02/19/2008 If the stock bios also has the usb issue then try: Have all USB device connected to the rear USB ports that are build onto the mb and retest with all USB header on the mb be removed from any front USB connections or adapter connections and retest. If all steps have been tried and problem still persists then please kindly refer to our website for manufacturer warranty RMA info/request: http://www.msicomputer.com/support/CustomerS.asp
End User 02/19/2008 No change. I cannot even cold-boot at stock settings with this. Also, it still kills my Logitech G15 keyboard randomly. i have to unplug it and plug it back in to get it to power up, and that is only after I boot into Vista. Back on the shipping bios for now at stock settings. Please, if you would, keep me informed of changes or progress. Thanks.
End User 02/19/2008 Thanks! I will poat back if it helps or not.
MSI Tech. 02/19/2008 Beta bios v111 attached to this form.
End User 02/19/2008 Is there any other beta bios' that you have that could help? The P05 didn't work out so well, maybe you have a newer one that I could try? It seems odd that it is only on a cold boot that I have issues and not on warm boots. I am willing to try anything you got at this point!
MSI Tech. 02/19/2008 Sorry, but MSI did not see any issue with using QX9650 processor.
End User 02/19/2008 So are you saying that as far as MSI is concerned, there is no issue with the QX9650 and the P7N Diamond motherboard? I am not asking you for advice on hot to OC it, I am asking you if you know of the issue and are looking into it to try and correct it. If you do not think there is an issue and are not going to investigate it, then I will be very disappointed.
MSI Tech. 02/19/2008 If there is no problem with standard bios and no OC then you can refer to other website/forum for OC suggestions or settings. MSI does not provide these setting/suggestions since it can cause damage to the components.
End User 02/19/2008 Also, I am unable to use the Dual Core center, as I am running Vista 64. It does not load properly when using this OS.
End User 02/19/2008 As of now, it boots and runs fine with the shipping bios and no OC. But, why would I have paid such a high premium to get a QX9650, that has an unlocked multiplier, if I cannot use it? Is this strictly an issue with the newer 45nm Intel processors or is it something else? If not being able to use my cpu's unlocked multiplier is "ok", then I may return the board for a refund.
MSI Tech. 02/18/2008 What is the problem when system uses the standard bios and not OC?
End User 02/18/2008 Is there a fix on the way or is it just a problem with my hardware? I have it back on the shipping bios and it is at least cold-booting now, as well as my G15 is working. I upped the NB voltage a hair above auto, maybe this has somethinng to do with it?
MSI Tech. 02/18/2008 Use the standard bios and use software to OC: http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=utility&maincat_no=1&prod_no=1372
End User 02/18/2008 I was way too quick to say everything is OK. I now have cold boot issues aplenty. 9 times out of 10 it will not post on a cold boot, but will warm boot. I have to power off then on real quickly to get it to post at stock speeds. Also, my Logitech G15 started to act erratic with the P05 beta. I am back on the shipping bios until I hear from you.
End User 02/18/2008 Thanks you for the beta. I flashed to it, cleared the cmos and set everything back up and now I have a new problem. Even though I have disabled the EIST function in the bios, it still seems to be on. i am using cpu-z version 1.44.1 to monitor the multiplier and it randomly shifts between whatever I set it to and 6. It is even doing it when the system is loaded, ie playing games. Please, help!
MSI Tech. 02/18/2008 Beta bios attached to this form.
End User 02/18/2008 Everything is stable 100%. But, on my QX9650, I set the multiplier to 10X to run at 10x333=3.33ghz. It was fine until this morning. I turned the computer on and it would not post. I powered down and repowered it up and it siad the cpu vid had failed or errored, hit F1 to enter setup or F2 to load defaults. I entered setup and the multiplier was set back to 9x. I left it there and am ok now. Is there a beta bios that helps out operations with the newest Intel 45nm processors, such as the QX9650?
I have absolutely no issues in Vista itself, it is 100% stable. It is only on a cold boot that I have serious issues. And yes, I got 3 in a row, went to work for a few hours, then came home and bam! No cold boot. Also, I don't know how comfortable I am raising the vcore that much, as 1.21-1.25 is the normal operating range. 1.3625 is aweful high. Now, with the 65nm quads, that is more in the range of what would be needed, but no way should it be necessary to pushh this QX9650 to a meeger 3.33ghz. As far as temps go, I have the processor watercooled, so no worries there. I am away from home now until Saturday morning, so I can't test anything until the weekend.
Thanks alot for the responses!

Z77 Mpower & x16 SLI

Hi,
I'm running 2 x 670's on an Z77 Mpower mobo and the mainboard tab in CPU-Z is showing the cards running SLI in x8
What is all that about. I thought they are suppose to run in x16? How do I fix that?

no you are wrong as your 1155 socket CPU (as all have the same) has 16 PCI-E lanes total so x8/8x is normal for 2 cards as the board has no PLX lane splitters so can only use what PCI-E lanes the CPU has!

GTX 650Ti BOOST and SLi

Hi
I'm new here, so go easy please
I've just purchased a pair of the new GTX 650Ti BOOST cards and paired with a SLi connector cable, which I had to buy separately. However, my NVIDIA Control Panel is not giving me the option to enable SLi. According to the guide it should appear under the 3D settings option in the menu, but it's not there.
I have 2 monitors connected, one to each card.
My initial guess would be an incompatibility with my now fairly ancient motherboard, an Asus P5K Deluxe. This does run Crossfire on AMD cards though, so I don't see why it shouldn't run SLi. The book says it should anyway.
Any ideas would be gratefully received!
Many thanks
Brian

And Brian, my big thumbs up for getting 2 gtx650ti Boost's, IMO the card of the year, especially in SLI its an absolute killer in performance/price area, and one more for choosing MSI TwinFrozr versions, best of the best cooling solution.

Random Lockups K9N2 SLI Platinum

Hey guys, Ive been dealing with a very annoying issue with a random Windows lockup, when I mean lockup its a press the reset button lockup. At first I thought it was a faulty Hard Drive, I replaced that with a Fresh reload of Windows 7 64 Bit. This issue has been going on for a few months, even before the Hard Drive going bad.. Some days/weeks I can play games without a problem, the lockups only occur within the first 5 to 10 minutes of playing, If I make it past that I am good to go.. In the last week I ran Memtest86 v4.0 and 3dMark Vantage, I got no errors or lockup's on either test.
Right after I ran the 3dMark Test I checked the temp in the bios here is what I found CPU Temp 111 F and System Temp 84 F, Im sure this is higher when Im gaming
I have been also getting this error in the event viewer on a lockup:
Component: AMD Northbridge
Error Source: Machine Check Exception
Error Type: HyperTransport Watchdog Timeout Error
Processor ID: 0
Here is my PC build, Ive been thinking about getting a new case that vents the heat from the top, I think this case I have is storing a lot of heat, the case itself gets very hot while playing games, I have 4 120mm fans running to. I was orginally running SLI with the 9800GT, I rebooted one day and one of the cards went, I sent both back to PNY and got 2 new ones but only put one back in since the heat was just to bad, I have a spare card now.

Sounds exactly like the problem I was having when I upgraded to an AM3 965 Phenom-II from an AM2 6000+ and 800MHz DDR2 6GB to 1100MHz DDR2 @1066 8GB all at the same time. All I can suggest is to make sure your motherboard chipset drivers are current. Right now for 750a SLI Nforce the current driver from NVidia is SMBUS Driver (v4.74) WHQL, SMU Driver (v1.71) WHQL. That is in the v15.49 download from the NVidia website. Also make sure your video card drivers are also current. v196.21 WHQL is the latest from the NVidia website for windows 7 64 bit for 9 series cards. another thing you could try is updating you BIOS to the latets version for K9N2 Sli Platinum, it is v3.6. In this website at the top you should see a link to down load the FORUM FLASHER tool made by Svet (Hopefully he posts a reply to this as well, he would most likely be able to help you out more with this). There is also an info page containing instructions on how to use it somewhere on this website as well.
Im pretty good for keeping drivers updated, to double check I downloaded the Nvidia tool to check for updated drivers, says everything is up to date.. I havent updated the bios, Ive done it in the past on other machines and Im always a little scared to do it
I downloaded SpeedFan, here are some temps sitting idle, Im not sure what the temps should be, what do you guys think?
CPU: 163F
Remote Temp: 234F
Temp: 166F
Temp1: 97F

MSI 890FXA-GD70 & SLI two gtx 460 1Gb ???

can i install(TWO CARD) MSI Cyclone GeForce GTX 460 1GB GDDR5 SLI on :
( MSI 890FXA-GD70 Mainboard), (Win7 64Bit ) CPU (AMD Phenom(TM) II X6 1090T Processor (6C, 3.62GHz, 2GHz IMC, 6x 512kB L2, 6MB L3) to allows 3 or 4 DVI monitors to be used in Eyefinity without needing a DisplayPort monitor or active adapter ???? to play microsoft flight simulator X for example on 3 LCD ???

Also Eyefinity is AMD feature, Nvidia cards doesn't have such.
Read more about it at: http://www.amd.com/us/products/technologies/amd-eyefinity-technology/Pages/eyefinity.aspx
And yes, SLI isn't possible as Bas mention.
To run SLI you need latest MSI's AMD platform board for AM3+, named 990FXA-GD80:

ATTN K8N Diamond Plus Users - SLI problem

i need help diagnosing a problem:
i installed this board last night, transplanted my a64 4000+ along with 2 7800gt's and a brand new antec 550w psu. i did the live update bios flash (dont recall what version i am running now) got my e/n and audio drivers in place etc.
when i enable sli, the machine freezes when i fire up a game. both cards are plugged in properly, i tried swapping the slots they were sitting in, i tested both cards individually and they are good, i reversed the sli bridge just in case, reverted to fail safes in the bios,
i cannot play games in sli mode, in single card mode i can (I THINK... i am afraid this might be a heat issue, but i put plenty of fresh arctic silver on my proc, FEAR seems to freeze regardless if i am running sli or not..i will have to double check when i get home from work)
has anyone experienced anything similar? i am running fresh drivers and this is my first sli build so maybe i am missing something... i have been racking my brain for the last 12 hours, i dont think its the ram, could it be the northbridge chipset driver? i installed the one off the disc, but i didnt check the site for a newer one...
thank you so much for your time.

Quote from: kakarocht on 08-February-06, 13:58:02
Do not used liveupdate to flash the bios. Used from the program files itself. Refer from my sig on the flashing the bios. BTW create your own sig and gives more details about your peripherals and psu in details. What my concern is your PSU problems. Could you gives more details your PSU? Have you tried to install new drivers from NVIDIA??
the psu is a brand new antec 'true power 2.0' unit that i bought from newegg...in bios the 12v rail is showing 12.3 which might be a little bit high...but it is stable for what its worth...
here is my setup, i will create a sig shortly:
2gb PQI ram DDR400 running at stock speeds, not sure of the latency but i am thinking cas2
A64 4000+ Clawhammer proc running at stock 2.4ghz speed, 1mb cache
MSI K8N diamond+
dual 120gb maxtors
sony dual layer 16x dvd
stock cpu fan.
shitloads of AS7
another curious fact:
since the upgrade FEAR doesnt want to work at all... DOOM and COD2 both work in single card mode...but FEAR will freeze on me mere seconds after the first map loads...
i dont know what the culprit is...but i bet im gonna kick myself when i find out...
im gonna go re flash my bios now...
thanks for the input, its always greatly appreciated.

SLI GTX460 Need help

Hi All I am new to this so if anyone out there can help me it would be appreciated. i have the MSI Big-Bang Xpower M/B, and I have the Galaxy GTX460 768MB Graphics card, I also have as a second card the Zotac GTX460 768MB card and i cant seem to get this working on SLI, I dont see anything in the Bios settings, and i have all the latest up dates on my Motherboard. I tried the 2 x SLI Bridges I got with my M/B, I also got a new SLI bridge from a friend....its just not running SLI, Both cards show in the device Manager, both say they are working....If I go to the Nvidia on my PC I don't see anything on the menu that says SLI..... Now i have seen a number of possible reasons...one being the Graphics cards are by 2 different companys ?? My Galaxi GTX460 says SLI on the BOX, and the Zotac says SLI in the booklet...so i dont think thats an issue... This is of course the first time i have ever done SLI, so I am sure someone out there can help....I am running windows 7 Professional 64Bit and this gaming PC is a brand new build a few months ago... I have 12 GB RAM corsair, 1 T/B hard drive, CoolIt Liquiid Cooler, 850w Modular power supply, and last but not least the Pentium i7 950... I am open to any and all help...

PREY - Sound Problem Solved - SLI related, not SB related -

Hi Folks,
I have posted this in a few places on the web to help out people with PREY now that it has hit the shelves so they don't have the same issues I did. My story:
I just spent $ 75 bucks I didn't need to. I have a MSI K8N Diamond Plus running a AMD 4800+ Dual Core, with 2 gigs of RAM in dual channel, and two EVGA E-Geforce 7900 GTX 52MB running SLI. The mobo comes stock with onboard sound, which is a Audigy SE w/ EAX-HD. Turns out the sound is based on a Li've 24-bit chip soldered onto the main board. It is a 6 bit card, meeting the minium requirements on the box.Bought Prey, loaded it, and the game looked perfect but vocals were totally distorted and there was horrible static. I did everything, tried reloading vid drivers, sound drivers, nforce drivers, the game three times and still no joy. I came on this site and played with the hardware acceleration etc etc etc that I have read so often in many posts. No joy.So my buddy convinced me I needed a Creative X-FI card. So I went out and bought a X-FI Extreme Music. I went into the CMOS and disabled onboard sound, uninstalled the old Creative drivers, even uninstalled my nforce and vid drivers. Put in the new card, rebooted, installed newest nforce 6.86, rebooted, installed newest vid card drivers, rebooted, installed newest drivers for X-FI with the Fatality OpenAL support, rebooted. Defragged. Re-installed the game. Went to play it expecting to reap the beautiful sound goodness I worked for, and the same frickin problem. All that work, new card, same vocal distortion and static. At this point I started looking over my shoulder expecting to see my wife standing there with her arms crossed giving me the hairy eyeball with one eyebrow up and tapping her foot. You know how that is....So I went online, scoured 6 dozen mainstream and obscure sites all the way to Russia and found ONE site where one guy on the 0th page on the 5th post on it was talking about the DEMO he tried of PREY and he mentioned in passing that he disabled SLI and ran the game in single card mode because SLI interfered somehow with the sound.So I thought to myself, no way. I right clicked my desktop, went to Settings, Advanced, clicked on Nvidia, went to the SLI tab and cleared the box for "Enable SLI".Rebooted. Game runs perfect. Now I gotta explain to my wife why I spent $ 75 bucks on a sound card I didn't really need.But all that doesn't matter now, cuz I spent 5 hours on it last night. Words cannot describe this game. I've played them all - and I just have to say I want to meet the designers and shake their hands. This is the most beautiful, imaginati've, NON-repetiti've, refreshing, eye-candy drop dead georgous FPS I ever saw. The musical score is genius. The imagination that went into the storyline, and artwork is astounding. Most importantly, the gameplay is none other than spectacular.Enjoy it fellow SLI'ers. I hope this post helps you.Grog

You're late to the party. I am currently running almost the exact same setup as you with the exception of my 7900GTXs in SLI being from XFX, but that part obviously doesn't matter and the sound board being an X-FI Elite Pro.
Anyway, the onboard Audigy SE works great in everything with SLI enabled, but I obviously want to use the X-FI and that's where I run into the problems with SLI enabled. However, SLI isn't the problem given how it works for many other sounds boards and on top of that, the SLI architecture was around before the X-FI, so Creative needed to test against this more stringently.
Regardless, it's been known for a while about disabling SLI, it's just not a good answer. Thanks for the input though.
I agree about Prey, very entertaining!Message Edited by zcaa0g on 07-8-2006 2:23 PM

Neo4 Plat SLI & geforce 8800 GTX

Can anyone confirm if the geforce 8800 GTX will run in a Neo4 Plat SLI? The last bios mentions support for the GX2's but no new updates for the 8800 series.

Tested it and it works You might have to fiddle around with the cooler a bit - There's a capacitor next to the PCIE slot wich is in the way
Only 1 card tho, you can't run SLI on this board as the 8800GTX requires a full x16 slot and won't work on a x8 slot
so x8 - x8 SLI won't work.

Tempature questions on SLI MSI NX8800GT 512M OC

Have two MSI NX8800GT 512M OC , running SLI on a P7N Diamond mobo. Using HWmonitor108 to manage tempeture settings of the GPUs. 1 GPU runs at 44c and the other 54c at idle.
During gaming, one gets to 60c and the other gets to 77c. I have a Lian Li v1000 case, all case fans work.....any suggestions why the temp difference?
Also, after playing COD4, Vista(64) notifies that one of my display drivers had stopped, but has been successfully restarted. Anyone knows what that is about?
Any help would be appreciated.

Just built the system two days ago and been using the HWMonitor since day one to monitor temps. I have both cards in the PCI-E "blue" slots on the P7N with the soundcard in the middle. Took off the plastic picture on both heatsinks on the 8800GT cards.....

Qosmio X300-13W - Is SLI enabled on 9800M GTS?

Hi,
I am just wondering does anybody has a problem using SLI in X300-13W? On NVIDIA setting, it says "enable" but when i used PC Wizard 2008 for system information it says "disable".
I cant really update the latest NVIDIA driver because it doesnt recognise it. Possibly not supported.
I also found out that, my chipset is from NVIDIA. I am just wondering may be the chipset driver is not installed probably or something... i really dont know.
Thanks

Hi all, i have installed the latest Beta drivers from Nvidia, but you have to modify them a little, as they are not recognized, because Toshiba has the drivers listed under them. Nvidia does not step on the toes of dealers that use their drivers. The hybryd set up, which is what we have in our systems, uses Phy*** and also uses the on board 9400M gpu for when on battery , to save power. SLI is enabled by playing in your power settings reachable by the screen saver set up. Set it up when plugged in on battery to everything max. Also, because this is a hybrid set up, Pcwizard, and most other programs do not recognise it, and list it falsely as something else, trust the Nvidia. It is running SLI.
The beta mobile drivers as stated by "OnkelM" can be used, however you have to change a file in them so it recognizes your system. I have been using these drivers now for a month with no problems at all.
Go to laptopvideo2go.com and do a seacrh for the driver number you want to use, then get the modified inf file you need for it, extract the drivers to your desktop, then add in the modifeid file, overwrite and voila, your good to go.
The driver for hybrids is 179.48, after you download it, click on the link there that says modded inf, download that, and then replace it in your driver folder you just downloaded.
Hope this helped, good luck,
Wickedt
