no SLi option - nVidia control panel

[Stelly]

Hey Guys,

Just was looking through my control panel and I cant see any SLi option at all, nothing! I have tried a different bridge, so updated with drivers and BIOS and nothing I have 2 x 680s

Any help would be appreciated

Worth checking you have an SLI capable mobo and that the cards are in the right slots

Mobo?
Is your CF cable attached? - sorry re-read
PSU wattage?

 

[Stelly]

mobo - PX79WS
The SLi bridge has been changed like three times
1050w xfx PSU

I have them in slot 1 and 3 at the moment

If i'm not mistaken they should be in the 2 blue slots 1 and 4?

confirm this in your user guide

Reading the manual slots 1 + 3 won't work. You need them in slots 1 +4 for x16/x16 SLi.

Slot 1 is x16.

Slot 2 is x8 (uses 8 lanes from slot 1 so this will also drop to x8).

Slot 3 is x4.

Slot 4 is x16.

Slot 5 is x4.

Slot 6 is x8 (uses 8 lanes from slot 4 so this will also drop to x8).

I had this a while ago I had to go back to a very old set of drivers to get the sli option back and then update the drivers to newer versions.

You can't sli with 2 cards using slot 1 and 3 mate.

Hey guys,

I think that you are all right, I think that the loop is going to be needed to be drained and a new tubing cut and fitted

Ouch, is this the system OCUK built for you?

If OcUK built it for you, get in contact and they can probably sort something out for you.

i had this same problem a month or 2 ago, and it turned out that it was just the text that says " configure sli, surround, physx " wasnt there, but the area that i needed to click on was there but very very small,

check that the black dashed line goes from the first 2 options under 3d settings to a third line underneath and if so you'll need to click next to the black line.

hope this helps

Why would ocuk put a second 680 in an x4 slot. Did they even check if sli was enabled after building it? Pretty bad fail on their behalf.

Hey Guys,

No this was my fault, I put the card in while the OcUK guys where testing the watercooling for leaks, I did get advised to move the card but said that it was okay there... my noobness for you
