Well, to put it correctly, it's not the board not supporting SLI but Nvidia's drivers not supporting the X38 chipset (deliberately due to company policy...) wink
With some older nForce-drivers you could actually "hack" it in order to run on non-nforce boards.

Basically, ATi allows multi GPU pairing on any platform while Nvidia only allows it on their own chipsets and only the more expensive ones.
Go figure...



What puzzles me right now is whether this may have anything to do with the problem you are experiencing.
One would think not but who knows...

If you can get the graphics packs to swallow this pill
then they are as solid as they ever will be...

Or does your board feature more than one PEG slot?

My board has the Intel X38 chipset which does NOT support SLI, but DOES support CrossFire.  It has two PCIexpress x16 slots and supports dual graphics cards.
During my 'dual' test, the nvidia card was in the slot closest to the CPU.  I did not test both cards the other way around (but I should).  The system detected both cards, but could not install the ATI drivers correctly when the card was 'secondary' to the nvidia.  Also, the ATICCC installed correctly, and detected the presence of both cards, but claimed it was not compatible with either (not with nvidia for obvious reasons, and not with the ATI card because the drivers hadn't loaded correctly).

More testing is in order.

Just to make things even more clear:

I assume the following configuration:
NV card in PCIe (PEG)  slot, ATI card in regular PCIe slot (non-PEG).

If so, what happens if you swap cards around?
Does the BIOS have an option about which display to init first (as it was in the PCI/AGP days where you could chose between the two)?
What does swapping around here change?

It's pretty bad that one card does not get installed.
Not that mayn folks do use multi-GFX systems but if you want to connect more than two monitors, you can either get a Triple Head from Matrox or use a second card.

Test 1. Success. Nvidia 8800GTS installed as sole graphics card.
Test 2. Success. ATI HD3450 installed as sole graphics card.
Test 3. Partial failure. both above cards installed simultaneously, with 8800GTS in #1 slot (with monitor connected), HD3450 in #2 slot (with no monitor connected.)
Nvidia installed perfect, ATI did not (CCC good, drivers bad).

I think the system got confused with two different vendors graphics cards.  Not having the monitor connected to the ATI card probably didn't help.  I should have run a Test #4 to connect the monitor to the ATI card and leave the Nvidia card without a monitor.

Well your my kind of tester - hard core... rofl   well done

I just wish i had thought of it ... hee hee wink

you truely are the man!

I've tried doing a manual install through device manager and still come up with the same error. However, I did come across another way of installing drivers by downloading ATI Catalyst 8.6. From there I manually installed the video driver and then ATI CCC and it went through just fine. The only thing is that when I look at the Device Manager for Display Drivers, it shows up as ATI HD 3400 Series.

So maybe I'm doing something wrong with the DP you wanted me to try out? I didn't slipstream the drivers onto an O.S. disc. Just extracted and put it onto cd for windows to search for drivers.

I ran a test with BOTH my new ATI HD3450 and my powerful Nvidia 8800GTS installed at the same time.
Nvidia drivers and control panel installed perfect, no problems.
ATI drivers partially installed, and ATI CCC installed, but would not run.
After restart, "New hardware wizard" popped up to install "VGA display device" which would fail.

When using each card on it's own, there were zero problems, with a clean device manager.

So I can verify that on single card installations, this DP works perfect.

Just because I'm not able to get my Atheros card working, doesn't mean you won't.

Can you try these two DriverPacks and report back?
