Sorry for my bad english

How long is the cable? :-?

It must be as short as possible... :P

around 6cm..

my bet would be a faulty SLI cable (especially when its homemade-when I tried to make it myself,I have busted two floppy cables before I finally got it right.you should test all the wires for contact-small battery,couple of wires and a small bulb can do the job nicely)..you can try other pci slots,but I doubt it will help.

SK: ja tipujem zly SLI kabel (obzvlast ak je zbastleny-ked som to skusal zbastlit ja,znicil som dva floppy kable kym sa mi to konecne podarilo.mal by si skusit ci je vsade kontakt-tuzkova baterka,par drotov a mala ziarovka by mali stacit )..pripadne skus ine pci sloty,ale pochybujem ze to pomoze.


edit: this should help a little:

prikladam schemu prepojenia pinov ak budete testovat ci je kabel priechodny (tie prazdne su tak isto ako tie na krajoch):
[I'm adding a pin connection scheme (the "empty" pins are connected the same way as those on the left side),remember,if the pins arent connected properly the SLI cable wont work.checking all the connections with few wires,batteries and a small bulb is recommended.]

i check SLI cable again and all pin is OK

in any 3d Program (games/3D Mark 2000/2001) is VooDoo 2 not available...

To PS47: keby som ti tie karty priniesol vedel by si sa mi nane kuknut? (ci som debil ja alebo kde je problem.....)

d3d is not available under winxp,glide support should be available by default,and opengl must be configured manually (for most apps).

the control panel wont show stuff correctly,this is expected..see here.


kludne sa ti na ne mozem mrknut,aj ked myslim ze s trochou stastia to doriesime aj na dialku.

It is possible 2 run V2 under WXP in D3D but it is very, very difficult. Last year I experemented with this problem and have got a result http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=9175816 I think it is very good result, but SLi in this case doen't work.

- i build 3rd SLI cable - all 3 is checked - all pin OK (2cm)
- but SLI not work (driver or app. freez)
- in single mod all dork ok

I think I'll have a look at the issue personally-turns out Toman lives pretty close to my place..at least I'll do something meaningful on my next weekend work shift ;D
