SLI problem

rickss69 · #1 12-03-2010

I have not run into this before...I have two 8800 GTX cards that I have in the past run in SLI, but now can't seem to get them to do so. It shows both cards in gpu-z but no option to SLI in the control panel. I have tried three different drivers to no avail. I even replaced the bridge with no effect...any ideas?

EDIT: Now I can't even enable PhysX in the control panel even tho it clearly shows it enabled in gpu-z...geez, why always me?

I really have three of these but one quit on me long ago. They worked well in tri-sli. This is bugging me out.

Were you running another type of card other than that? Gotta reinstall windows. Thats how green team rolls. lol

MY luck with nVidia so far has been 0 for 10 years now. unless the card is so old it is supported in windows natively. MS drivers FTW!

Seriously though, drivers sweeper/cleaner?

I see voodoo in my future this w-end. I took the cards out and checked them single...one showed correctly and the other...

Double checked and the next time the dead card showed normal. I tried them in SLI one more time but no go.

Now I go into the other room to report these findings to you and I see the monitor is off on my main rig which is still running...wtf. Couple of re-boots gives me blue screens. I bring the hdd in the next room and boot with it on this pc...blue screen. This is the second hdd I have lost in that rig in two weeks. This is not what I had planned for this w-end dammit. I'm wondering if that scorched 980X might be the culprit.
