Hey guys, I'm buying a second 770 for my Computer, but I don't know how to actually activate the second 770 in game or while using my PC. I know how to bridge it and connect to the PC that part is in the bag, but do I need to activate it? Like do something on the computer OR in game to enable the SLI 770? Programs? Anything I need? THanks in advance
 
Solution
After the 2nd card is installed, reboot and go to the NCP/Configure SLI, Surround/PhysX and tick "Maximize 3D Performance". Click "Apply". SLI will be enabled, and if a game is SLI-aware, it will automatically use both cards.

On rare occasions, you may have to uninstall the existing driver before installing the 2nd card, boot to Win7, install the latest driver and follow the above directions. (NCP may automatically advise you to enable SLI, but lately it has not been doing that for me. I have to do it manually.)
