i got two IDENTICAL gigabyte 6600gts, both 'GV-NX66T128D's.
running Nvidias latest drivers

i switched the SLI card thingy over on the mobo to put it in dual mode, connected them together and booted up the PC, the nvidia thing popped up saying something about being able to use multi-GPU SLI mode... then when i go into SLI settings it says:

"You must remove any graphics cards that are not compatible with Nvidia scalable link interface (SLI) technology before you can enable SLI"

theyre both SLI ready and IDENTICAL!!!! running Nvidias latest drivers too
 
84.21

will it have anything to do with graphics card BIOS or something (dont know anything about it) and i have no floppy drive
 
ASUS p5nd2-sli

there is a BIOS update on the gigabyte website for the card, one of the features of the update says: enables SLI

i dont know how to flash the BIOS and i dont have a floppy drive

there is an SLI menu but all it says is something about enabling or disabling the warning if no additional power connector is plugged in, which is enabled
 
yes, its in dual mode! and the cards are bridged

edit: ok when using either card by itself nvidia tells me:

"Your card features NVIDIA Scalable Link Interface (SLI) technology. Add a second graphics card with SLI technology for significant improvements in rendering performance"

however it reverts to the:

"You must remove any graphics cards that are not compatible with Nvidia scalable link interface (SLI) technology before you can enable SLI"

once i put them together

the wierd thing is mate is that when i first loaded it up with both cards in the little bubble popped up and said click here to enable SLI or something. when the window popped up it said it wouldnt work. im not too happy im DLing the Nforce drivers im sure theyre already up to date though.
tried a few different drivers but to no avail.
im using the latest beta ones at mo too. ill try putting them back to 84.21 ones


:(
 
did that. didnt work look. :(:( clicked it and said same thing about removing non SLI cards.
