SLI Issues
Got a new GTS 250 today to run SLI. Installed it and started up the pc. The fans came on and pc boots up. Went into NVIDIA control panel to enable SLI and the selection wasn't there. So I went to see if windows is seeing it. Nope nothing. Things I did:
1. Took both cards out, and put new card in PCI-E 1(top slot) started the pc and it worked great.
2. Put the old card in the 2nd slot installed the bridge and started the pc. No SLI
3. Took the new card out of top slot, moved the monitor to the bottom card and started the pc. Worked great.
4. Reinstalled drivers still no SLI.
5. Swapped PCI-e power plugs to verify both worked. They are good.
6. Checked to make sure the bridge was seated.
Does the little window pop up like in XP saying that you are capable of SLI? If it does I never got it. There is no where in my bios that I could find that enables the SLI. The slot obviously works. Only thing I can think of is that the PS is overworked. Rivatuner was seeing two GPU's but the core clock and memory were reading almost 0 instead of 738/1152Mhz like it was supposed to be reading. Any ideas? I have furmark. Is there a way to read power output?
