    Just got my second 7950 gtx for my Sager np9260. Never used SLI before--afaik I just pop it in and go into nvidia CP and turn on SLI.

    I am currently using the latest drivers from the Sager site (which I believe are late October). Should I get some lv2g drivers instead?

    Anything else I need to do to get up and running at full capacity?

    Yes thanks, got the 169.09 right now. Have SLI enabled as well. Seems to be a noticeable improvement in some games, but I'm definitely going to dig around for a bit more since I'm only getting ~8500 in 3DMark06, which is at least 500 points below what I have seen elsewhere. Hmm....

    Hi AstroLad
    Interested you have got the SLI working for the 7950GTX. Could I please ask you if you would consider emailing the drivers to me - LV2Go is down at the mo and I am desperate to get both my cards working!!
    Many thanks.

    Why does everyone say Laptopvideo2go is down? Why won't they check? Have you gone into the forums section of the website and gone to the release 160 drivers section? There are links in there for every driver and .inf.

    People just don't bother to check anything but the front page anymore. :(

    To enable SLI with most newer drivers you also have to chose not to continue the installation. Then reboot and install again. FYI>
