Hi everyone i have just got another 8800gt and was wanting to run it in sli. I have a msi p7n diamond motherboard and was wondering how i would go about setting it up? What drivers do i need etc? Thanks
 
ok got it to work but went to run 3d mark06 and a blue screen came up and it restarted then the blue screen and restarted until i took off the sli bridge. I know that one cards clocks are higher than the other but i thought that they would just run off the lowest card?
 
i have changed them so the clocks run the same but have noticed the bios on them both are different ( shows on gpu-z). Would this cause a problem?
 
i think its all sorted now. Installed the drivers and went in to gpu-z and they are now showing the same speed as the lowest card. Is that right? The first card shows the clock. memory and shader speeds but the second one only the clock and memory speeds. That should be ok now yeah? the sli message came up on the bottom this time
 
yeah the slower card is in the top. Im just reinstalling crysis then will install the bench test and see what i get now. Need to overclock my cpu back up to 3Ghz tho
 
tested crysis and i got 38fps which was the same as what i got with one card so i turned the clocks up and got 37fps is there something im doing wrong?
