Dear All,
I've bought two used GTX 690 cards from US, I live in Pakistan.
One of my card is faulty and it took a month to find out where the problem is.
Keep in your mind that one card is 100% OK, Here are the details of faulty card.
1> Faulty card giving display without drivers.
2> After installing drivers the screen goes black and system is hang,
3> I've downloaded the latest drivers
4> as 690 is dual GPU card after installation of drivers I went to safe mood and disabled its last display adopter in "Device Manager" and restarted my PC when it came back to normal mood of windows the card was working good, But I needed its both adapters as I want a quad SLI.
please advice how do I to get a quad SLI with a faulty card, I don't know it needs a repair or not
 
Solution


IF YOUR CARD IS BROKEN THEN YOU CANNOT SLI WITH IT, IF ONE OF THE TWO GPUS ON A DUAL CARD IS BROKEN, YOU PROBABLY CAN'T SLI WITH IT.
you don't get quad sli with a faulty card.

I seriously think that you should have considered a single 1080, probably as powerful, certainly more ram, cooler, uses less electricity and simpler. Remember that beyond 2 SLI scales poorly, you might end up at 200-240% of a single card (not a single 690, but a single 680).

Where exactly in the US did you buy the cards from? I would try and return, or sell them (you could get decent money in Pk for the functional 690 still). Not sure what to do with the faulty one. Go for a single card solution or 2xSli max.
