Hello!

I'm currently running with 2x 770's in SLI and am using a dual monitor setup. I thought I was going to run one screen on each GPU, not that it's probably going to affect the performance by alot, but anyways, it feels like the right thing to do. The problem is that when I connect the monitor to my second GPU, it doesn't identify the screen.

I´ve searched throughout the web but haven't find a solution yet. I've activated SLI in the Nvidia control panel, and I've seen that both cards are being used in most games I've played.

I'm very thankful for any help!

Well I have 2 GTX770s also and as I understand in sli preformance mode you need both monitors on the same video card to work. In surround sli you can connect monitors to both video cards. I have two montiors each DVI on my 1st video card and they seem to run fine. one is 2560x1440 and the other is 1920x1080.
