Hello. I made an account to tom's hardware due to a huge problem I cannot troubleshoot on my own. My 2 GTX 970's are not the same brand and are as followed:
1) ZOTAC GeForce GTX 970
2) ASUS GeForce GTX 970.
I thought that so long as they are GTX 970's it would be fine.
Simple when I try to SLI in the NVIDIA control panel I get this:
What I have tried.
Are there any settings I could check? I already went to the system info in the NVIDIA control panel and see that both are running at the slower x8 bus speed.
Any help would be a huge help and I would be gratefully appreciated.
EDIT1: MOBO is Gibabyte GA-Z97X-SLI
I also observed that my SLI bridge is only one "prong" and the 970 seems to have 2 "teeth" on each of it's cards...do I need a bridge that can hit both "teeth?" cause my bridge only can hit one "tooth" on each GPU.
just a pic for the setup right now:

Simple when I try to SLI in the NVIDIA control panel I get this:
What I have tried.
1) Uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling them using Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU)
2) Calling NVIDIA, got no where
3) connected the SLI bridge in every orientation possible
