When will SLI be supported?

I have a 295, running Win7 64bit, boinc 6.5.0.
I can't get it to run on both cards even if I disable SLI mode. I had it working under WinXP 32.

Anyone running a 295 with Vista64???

One work around that may help is to extend the desktop to the second GPU core.

SLI may be supported in future versions of the API/Drivers ... but it is an Nvidia limitation at the moment.

There have been driver problems with 2-GPU cards. Which version do you run? Might want to try a newer one.

I am using the 181.22 drivers ...

The only thing I have problems in multi-GPU is that you cannot run the Nvidia control panel ... if I start it I get BSOD ... other than that ... GPU Grid runs like a champ (or at least it has since Mid January when I added the drivers ...

Others have had issues with the new GPU's (295) and 64 bit OS. You have to look around. They don't always post it where you would think. It's passed on more like 'forum chatting'.
