I just bought another GTX 780, but I can't see the SLI option in the Nvidia control panel.
Both cards and SLI bridge are properly connected. I checked Speccy and GPU-Z and they both detect the another GTX 780. I reinstalled the drivers, but it didn't help.
EDIT: I took some pictures of GPU-Z

So you can see both display adapters in the device manager? Do you have a sound card or anything in the 3rd pci slot? If I remove my sli bridge the nvidia control panel still shows two cards instead of one like yours.

If both adapters show in device manager and are the only pieces of hardware in pci slots I would uninstall all nvidia drivers and software. I would remove the sli bridge and reboot. Reload all the drivers from scratch and see if both cards show up in the nvidia control panel. If they do, shutdown and install the sli bridge. When you start back up you should be able to enable sli.

Under the SLI configuration did select "maximize 3d settings" and apply the changes?

The problem is that there are no SLI options at all ( http://gyazo.com/f7966f6cc7b5516079d9ccb893fa1a68 sorry, it is in finnish, but you get the point )

Thank you so much :D
I had to do that two times. First time nothing happened, but I decided to try it a second time and for some reason it worked then. Well, now I'm off to do some bechmarking and gaming.
Thanks again kind sir :)
