For some reason, my computer is only detecting 512mb of video instead of 1024mb from running 2 9800 GTX+ video cards.
My computer came with 2 8800GT video cards in SLI configuration. It had a SLI Bridge connector which was connecting both of the cards. The 8800GT configuration looked like this:
---------------------------====-------
.......................................||
.......................................||
---------------------------====-------
the "||" represents the SLI bridge connector. As you see there is only one place on the 8800gt card where I can place the bridge connector
Here is what my 9800GTX+s look like on the top
-------------------------====--=--====---
-------------------------====--=--====---
as you can see, there are 2 possible spots to connect my sli bridge. Currently, the bridge that came with my 8800Gt cards is now placed like this:
-------------------------====--=--====---
.....................................................||
.....................................................||
-------------------------====--=--====---
The periods are just placeholders for the "||". no spaces allowed i guess
My computer does detect that there are 2 video cards on the motherboard. I used Nividias ntune app to increase fan speed of each card and both show that they are seated properly in the pci-e slots
anyone know what's wrong? I have the most recent drivers. my 8800 Gt cards came in my pc in sli configuration already so i know my computer supports sli.
I'm running windows media center (32 bit xp) with 4G ram, and 3.6GHZ quad core processor
