Hello,
So I’ve been using Linux for about 2years now… thinking I’d enabled SLI… by nvidia-xorg --sli=on
but when trying to confirm this ONLY recently (ohh the fool I’ve been) it is indeed not working, I’ve seen a few threads with the same problem and it has been fixed by going back to some 319.72/76 drivers, ok did that… needed to add ignoreABI version into xorg.conf for even older version… did that… still not working
has there ever been SLI support for GTX 260s? I’d really like to get some extra juice out of this older rig especially now I picked up a few linux games from the steam sale :(
any help getting it running in SLI would b gr8, or a promise of future support?
thanks kindly srsly9
