Using two PCI-e cards, non sli

[kcliu]

I have the MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI mobo. I'm running two x700 video cards, but the problem is that the second doesn't work. My primary one can display, but the second one is just blank. In device manager its installed fine, but when I go into display properties it doesn't show up. They are both PCI-e. I don't have SLI enabled. Is there a problem with my setup? I don't know if I have to change something with the sli or what. Maybe is one slot runing at 1x instead of 16x? Any help is much appreciated! Thanks,

KC

I think you need to enable SLI in the BIOS using that particular board. SLI is actually controlled by drivers, the BIOS only controls PCI-Express pathways, selecting 1x16 or 2x8 mode.
