Hey.
I use 2x Geforce 460 in SLI, been doing soo for 2 years without issues.
A couple of days ago I needed the BIOS battery for antoher computer, and ofc. the BIOS was reset when i put it back in.
After that it doesnt want to recognize my second card anymore. I cant even see it in the Device Manager/Nvidia SLI settings, which i used too.
Thing is. it has worked flawlessly for 2 years, then after the BIOS reset it's nowhere to be found.
Anyone got an idea to a cause?
I tried taking out 1 of the cards and ran the second one alone (the one that it could not find) and it didnt want to boot the computer, lots of weird sounds just arrived when i turned the computer on, does that mean it's dead?
I can understand it could have died, but its just too suspicius that it all of the sudden dies out after a BIOS reset? I mean i've had no probs for 2 years.
IF by any chance it has died. Should i buy another GF 460 and run SLI again, or would it be better i bought a better card and keep away from SLI? (one of the newer graphics cards?) would it be worth it compared to 2x 460 SLI?
Thanks on advance
