Have you clicked on "maximize 3D performance" in the Nvidia control panel/3D settings/Configure SLI,Surround,PhysX?

 

[Guest]

Yes but all I have is Configure Multi-GPU

Note, right now I have them over two monitors I did not do this before when I was trying to fix the problem I even RMA'ed and got a replacement and still had this problem.

Could it be the motherboard that is causing this issue?

You have to select "Maximize 3D Performance" to activate SLI.

And I would use the "Auto" selection for PhysX.

When I select it all that's activated is Multi-GPU.

What happens if you disable multi-gpu?

What happens if you disable multi-gpu?

Just runs as single gpu.

Shut down, then connect both monitors to the same card. Reboot, then activate 'max. 3d perf'.

 

[clutchc]

... and be sure you're using the SLI Bridge.

Unfortunately that didn't work.

Do you have the sli bridge installed?

Do you have the sli bridge installed?

Oh crap just realized I never labeled my gpu. It's a gtx 690.

 

[clutchc]

Have you tried it with just one monitor installed?

Yeh, I used to use one monitor when I got the card back from RMA.

You realize that Multi-GPU is probably just another term for SLI they use with the 690.

They are labeling it slightly differently for the 690, but I'm quite certain that Multi-GPU is what you want.

You should also be able to look at GPU-Z and see SLI enabled there. If GPU-Z doesn't recognize it as SLI, there could be a problem. You should also be able to run benchmarks to confirm.

The graphics score in the detailed read out of 3dmark11 should be about 9000 with 1 GPU, and around 18000 in SLI.

 

[clutchc]

Under "3D Settings" at the top of the Nvidia Control Panel, do you have the "Show SLI Indicator" option or is it greyed out?

I have a GTX 690. Multi-GPU is the equivalent to SLI on a multi-GPU card, such as the GTX 690. Unless you are trying to SLI two GTX 690s together, which would be Quad SLI.

If you have a single GTX 690, multi-GPU is correct and is utilizing both GPUs.

Waw Thank You, if only the fine people at asus could have pointed that out to me after I sent them a picture of my Nvidia Control Panel before I went and got it Rma'd.

Will both GPUs be active if my motherboard does not support SLI (ASRock Z77 Pro-4 M)?
