I have indeed a little card but it doesnt fit in an SLI poort. i have an PCI slot between the SLI poorts. on the Litte card stands the next text:

NV_SLI_2x1

Asus NFORCE4 SLI-Intel
DUAL -GPU- Switch Card

just looking at a few pics of the a8n32 sli and it doesnt seem to have that card im talkin about, so it must purely be a bios selections, i assume uve enabled sli broadcasting or whatever asus calls it and uv updated the bios if necersary?

erm, i have the n7800gt, and as far as i am aware, there is only one gpu on it, what gives you the idea there is two?


EDIT: ahh slap my face and call me a b*tch, ahh yeah sorry my bad, it does exist, erm, well im not sure whether it should show as one or two in the same way as an sli set up would, im seeing what i can find out, and i have no idea what that card is for , it does say intel on it tho, suggesting u wont need it?? not sure, anyway, seeing what i can find out

as is said, i dont know if it would show as two gpu's

try benching it and see how it performs

are the drivers reporting it as a "7800gt dual" or just a "7800gt"

make sure its in the northern pcix slot and make sure you have enabled your sli.......next make sure all your drivers are up to date........It will show as one card due to its in one slot........and enable sli in bios.......it should be performing as 2 cards.....
