Hi guys I have just finished installing my 2 gtx 670 video cards and when I open the Nvidia control panel I don't see a selection to enable sli like I used to do with my previous N9600 Gt cards. I do have the latest drivers from Nvidia. If there is some kind of automatic sli operation then how do you know when it is on. In GPU-Z 0.7.2 it says sli disabled although it does recognise both cards present. Thanks for any help George.

Do you have a SLI bridge connecting both cards?

sli bridge is on

Try reseating the cards.. did that......

You can connect the SLI bridge upside down by accident too so try changing it around also i had this issue with a Nvidia driver before but not in the latest ones.... will try this......

Also I noticed I tried to setup my 3D again and setup fails.

Thanks guys.

Is there some sort of logo you can have on screen when gaming like the AMD crossfire one?

What would a logo have to do with this the prob is in Nvidia control panel the selection to enable sli is not present and it should be also setup of 3D fails.

I am begining to think i should go back to the older drivers..
 
Ok guys I have reverted the drivers back to Ver 314.22 I now have 3D again. but when Nvidia control panel is opened there is no selection to enable sli both cards are recognised in Geforce experience and Gpu-z so they must be seated proper have checked that also tried rotating the sli strip..
 
Both cards work all that is wrong now is the sli selection does not show up in nvidia control panel and gpu-z states sli disabled....
 
I have verified with the m/board manual that both cards are indeed in the 16x slots.

The m/board is a ROG rampage IV formula.

The main prob is just that in Nvidia control panel the Set SLI configuration menu does not appear. Thanks for your help guys but this is driving me nuts. George..

Have you tried unplugging one of the monitors and trying a fresh driver install with a single device connected. It's also worth trying removing the second card installing with one card/Fresh drivers then installing the other.

I had an issue with my 690 that if I installed with my 3 outputs connected it would only run as to single cards.

Hi MOOGLEYS I had already tried driver install with one card then did other and this made no difference. but will now shut down and remove one monitor. Oh and I have just installed the latest drivers 326.80 Beta from Nvidia and so far 3D setup as it should.. Thanks for your help. George.
 
Ok I tried reinstalling the drivers again with one card only then shutdown and did a restart then shutdown put in second card powered up drivers were loaded for card 2 then opened Nvidia control panel and still no SLi configuration and GPUz still says SLi disabled. I am at a loss with this.. Every single driver I have tried from Nvidia ( that is all of them ) SLi configuration does not show up. I have e-mailed KFA2 god knows when or if I will hear from them, fyi the phone number on KFA2 contact us webpage is nowt to do with them.. George...
 
I was just wondering Overclockers told me that the 2 cards would work together ok even although 1 card has 2Gb ram and the other has 4Gb what views does anyone have on that. Maybe an Overclockers rep can enlighten me.. George..

I have not read all of the thread but I had the same issue and it was a fault SLi bridge which OcUK managed to send me out a replacement and it sorted it all out :)

That's your problem. You cannot Sli 670's with different ram sizes. I tried a few hacks once but ended up with problems. I would return the newest card and buy a matching ram size one to your old one far less hassle that way....

Hi MOOGLEYS prob is OC/uk don't do the 2 Gb card any more and any on the bay are shoving the price right up one's jacksey. may as well get another 4 Gb from OC/uk
 
Ok sitrep just spoke to a guy a overclockers and indeed the cards have to be absolutely identical, he apologised for me being told the wrong information which really is all he can do, so I ordered another 4 Gb card to solve the problem. I did make it known for all the hastle there should be a large box of haribo winging it's way to me. To all the guys for your help and advise cant thank you enough. Cheers and here's hoping George..
 
Further Sitrep I am now SLi'ed out of my head new card arrived this morning about
9:oo am damn good service seeing as I ordered it about 4:30pm the day before. And now running Guild Wars 2 on max at 160 Fps ( does happy feet dance ). Once again thanks for all your help guys. George..
