hi everyone

im running x2 BFG Nvidia Geforce 9800 GT's 512 mb with the SLI bridge,
only when i go to the Nvidia control pannel there is no enable sli option to be found, so i changed the bridge and bought a brand new one, still nothing, i even bought a new motherboard (Foxconn destroyer 780a) and still no option to enable it.

but my old cards (BFG Nvidia Geforce 8800 GTS 640 MB) i had in sli, the option was there to enable, all drivers are up to date ect.

anybody able to help me out here?

Post here or email me on: kyle_marriot@hotmail.co.uk

Not sure how to get to hardware manager - but in the system and matinence, in the advanced info u have 1240 MB of graphics memory, is it possible they could be working together without having to enable sli ?

hook up both cards in the slots w/ the bridge. Log on. Uninstall your drivers. Restart computer. Hopefully it will find the drivers and VGA controllers.
