All cards are working. All cards are recognized. Bios recognizes all cards. As well with device manager.
- Evga says that the cards s/n listed are compatible with SLI 3-Way
- Asus told me the Bios is up to date. Also that the motherboard is compatible ( 16x/8x/8x) for SLI 3 way. Just maybe not 4 way. Do to the last slot being a 4x.
- Nvidia says that my computer hardware is more than optimal and the hardware is more than enough to 3-way SLI.
red flags I notice are as follows:
1 - 1 slot running PCIe 2.0
2 slot running PCIe 1.1
3 slot running PCIe 1.1
2 - Message in Configure SLI , Surround, PhysX ;
Set as follows ... Maximize 3D performance (Enabled) / Span displays with surround (Disabled) , Configure (Disabled) , Activate all displays (Disabled) / Disable SLI (Enabled)
I have Maximize 3D performance (option enabled) still says SLI Disabled.
Error message !!! For optimal 3D performance, connect the SLI-ready graphics cards with an SLI connector.
The display setup is not optimal. Refer to the SLI Multi-Monitor Configuration options.
