Hello
I have one problem with nx 7.5.
In my video card I turned mode SLI.
On the desktop appeared two vertical line and text SLI. I want to off this line and text. Is it possible?
Is mode SLI supported?

If you're talking about the 'Scalable Link Interface' mode, it's highly likely that NX does NOT support this as I believe this was developed primary for gaming systems.

That being said, I'll check with our hardware people and see what they have to say about this.

I just checked with our graphics/display group and even if there were no problems running NX in the NVIDA SLI mode, there would be nothing to gain since NX is NOT really limited by the capacity of the graphics card, at least not with respect to what this SLI mode was designed to do. This was done to support applications where the majority of processing is being done with respect to the graphics objects. That's NOT where NX spends most of its time.

And for the record, while we are aware of what the SLI mode was designed for and we work very closely with the NVIDA people certifying and testing their hardware/firmware/software with NX and optimizing NX so as to take maximum advantage of the graphics sub-systems, due to the situation I outlined above, there are no plans at this time to test and/or certify SLI capable configurations, which means that if you enable it, you're on your own!
