I bought another evga Nvidia GTX 560 Ti so that I could once again run an SLI arrangement on my computer.

Now when I have both cards plugged into the motherboard, it shows one as a GTX 560 Ti and the other as a GTX 550 Ti.

My computer does not believe them both to be GTX 560 Tis, so I cannot run SLI.

I do have an SLI-enabled motherboard (790i) and I do have the SLI bridge attached to both cards. I have reseatted them several times now and have also done a clean driver installation.

I know the motherboard runs SLI fine because it used to have two 9800+ GTX running in an SLI formation.

The cards are:

and
www.evga.com/products/pdf/02G-P3-2089-KB.pdf

Both are obviously GTX 560 Tis that have 2 GB of memory. So, if anyone has an idea as to how I can fix this, I'd very much appreciate it.

Thanks!

Hi
I see that they are not 100% equal - the one is with different clock`s

Part Number: 02G-P3-2089-KB
Core Clock Speed: 900 MHz
CUDA Cores: 384
Memory Clock Speed: 4008 MHz Effective
Memory Bandwidth: 128.25 GB/sec
Shader Clock Speed: 1800 MHz
Bus: PCI-E 2.0

vs
Brand EVGA PN : 02G-P3-1568-KR
Core Clock: 822MHz
Shader Clock: 1645MHz
CUDA Cores : 384
Effective Memory Clock : 4000MHz
Bus: 2.0 x16

It could be a driver or FW problem but i think you need 100% the same specs.
 


They are the same card, clockspeed doesn't matter.
