I cant enable SLi

[holymonk]

Hi

Just got my new rig from ocuk, got 2 460gtx.

put them both in, powered up, put the sli bridge on.

when i got to the nvidia control panel i cant see an option to turn it on?

am i being dumb?

Download GPU-Z and see what it says at the bottom, if SLI is enabled or not

its only picking up 1 card?

have you tried both cards seperately, do they both show up as single cards ?

when both are in the system do they show up in device manager.

its only picking up 1 card?

think Moo is saying to check if it says sli is enabled within gpu-z rather than whether it detects both cards.

stand up and back away slowly, leave the room, close the door and dont go back in until you hear the bang

 

[holymonk]

lol dont

 

[holymonk]

so anyway, is thre a way to tell the psu load?

 

[Andrew Moore]

Again.. whats the board?

If it doesnt support it it wont work regardlss of whether or not it has 2 pci-e 16 lanes.

Andrew, sorry to clarify, the SLi appears to be working now, the problem was i didnt use the 2 feeds from the PSU I used one then plugged them into different 6 pin adapters. I am guessing you have to have 2 direct feeds....

My board is Z68A - GD55.

I just wanna know (second part of my question) if i can tell the load on the PSU as I dont wanna push this PSU until i upgrade.

Invest in a wall power monitoring meter, this will show the total power draw of the system. Ocuk have theese in stock.
