Hello, i recently bought myself a second GTX 680.

My current 680 is the GIGABYTE SuperClocked 680.
(Yes, it's SLIable).

And i bought a MSI 680 off a friend, works fine in his SLI with the MSI and the ASUS.

I have done everything./
Remove cards, test singular. Both work.
Change slots (In the MOBO)
Changed position the SLI Bridge is on.
Reinstalled the drives, CLEAN formatt.

- In GPU Z (or CPU forgot)
It detects both the cards, GIGABYTE and MSI. But says "SLI Disabled". Also in device manager giving me the error code (43)

My specs are:
i7 3820 3.5ghz
2x 680s
850 corsair modular
16gb of ram
MSI MS-7760
 
Solution


In NVIDIA panel I saw 4GB of Vram. Take your other card out and inspect it to see what version you have. Try googling the vendor(Gigabyte,MSI,and Inno3D, ect) then the card series(680).

I don't have said option. I bought it off a good friend, and he has attempted to help me.

I dont have the option BECAUSE the 2nd graphics card has an error code 43 in device manager.

One thing you didnt mention was drivers... Go to NVIDIA's website for the GTX 680 driver then do as the other guy sayed

Quote "If you go to the Nvidia control panel, click on "configure SLI, surround, Physx" on the left and click "maximize 3d performance" on the right. That should enable SLI."
