Why can't I get my two GTX 650 Ti Boost cards to ever run as a SLI? HELPPP!!!!!
I can't seem to find ANY instructions on how to set this all up anywhere?
Hehe, not really even in the manual for my Gigabyte mobo.
It isn't like there is really anything to figure out, really, BUT, it always just states disabled.
My specs are:

780w Power supply
Gigabyte EX38-DS4
Windows 7 (64bit) Build 7600 sp1
BIOS Build: 1011.006
Intel QuadCore 2: Q6600 2.40ghz
G-Skill 8GB (4 x 2GB) 1100
EVGA GeForce GTX 650 Ti BOOST
02G-P4-3657-KR
EVGA GeForce GTX 650 Ti BOOST
02G-P4-3657-KR
Display Driver: Most current, always


Thanx...................md :)

    Make sure you have the SLI bridge connected to both cards. Open nvidia control panel and enable maximize 3d performance. 
     

     
    If you have the SLI bridge connected and cannot select maximize 3d performance try enabling SLI using the tool listed here

    Even if your motherboard doesn't support SLI the tool I listed above will allow you to run SLI on a non SLI supported motherboard.

    Sajin, you ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Wow!, thanx a trillion zillion bazillion hehehe
    Everything is NOW all up and running the way it was meant to run, "perfectly" Hehe

    I owe you man, I owe you.
     
    You need any 3D work done anything like that?
    I can model, rig, make gaming characters to be rigged or what ever else you want?
    Orrr... if you just want some beer or something I can maybe do that through Amazon or what ever Hehe
     
    I am just so thankful is all.. this means a lot to me and yes, I WILL pass this great info on to others when and if
    I ever find the need to help someone else that might find themselves in the exact same boat as me, or as I was, that is.
    I mean, there was NONE of that SLI stuff to be found ANYWHERE on my computer and I mean even in the BIOS and so on,
    so this really rocks and right now, yes, I am about to jump right into some of my more graphics intensive games that
    I really love, like Crysis 3 and Battlefield 3-4 and so on, online gaming and the whole thing, yeah!
     
    again, thanx................md :)

    Sounds good, I'll be sure to do that.
    I am looking to completely upgrade some things this coming year and the next, i.e. this time I want everything to be from EVGA, so I'll be looking to get me a good mobo and then a half way decent CPU, though I am no where near rich Hahaha
    I'd also like 3 to 4 times the current 8gigs of RAM I have in my current system hehe
    But, for now I'll be happy just to enjoy things working with my new SLI setup.
     
    thanx, and no, I won't forget you, trust me, I won't..................md :)

    Yeah, I got the virus thingy too.
    But, that didn't bother me all that much, I can handle any of them sort of things,
    i.e. been around the block once or twice already with such things Hehehe
    But, now I screwed myself, right when I had things working, which means now I have to (ugh) "manually" go through and find and then delete all the files, or the ones I can find, that were installed and then try and redo the thing, as I made the mistake of deciding to try and do the initial idea, of installing the original drivers, which, grrr.. LOL, ended up not working or doing me any good anyway, so grr, now I can't reinstall the patch, cuz as you know, these sorts of things once patched, and then unpatched, cause issues that make so you can't do a reinstall, ugh LOL
     
    thanx again.........................md :)
