Hello! I read the SLI FAQ, I've also Googled around quite a bit for this.
I have 2 9600GT's with an SLI bridge attached. I know they're not the best but I have 2 so. -
One has 1024mb of memory, and one has 512mb of memory. They are the same in every other way, and both cards are recognized in GPU-Z, GPU shark, etc.
Everything that I've read says that as long as the core clock, and everything else are the same, SLI'ing 2 cards with different memory will simply bring the higher memory card, down to the lower memory.
However this is not happening, as in the NVIDIA control panel, I don't have any option to "configure SLI," as has been suggested in every guide I've seen.
There are only 3 options under 3D settings:
-Adjust image settings with preview
-Manage 3D settings
-Set PhysX configuration (it does NOT say, "set SLI and PhysX configuration.")
So it is not recognizing 2 SLI capable cards. How can I remedy this, or, is there software I can use to manually bring the memory of the larger one down, to match for SLI?
Thanks so much!
