So I was finally able to get a new motherboard to replace the latest in motherboards to fail me. I went from an EVGA Z68 to an Asus P8Z68-V LE, running GTX560 Ti's in Windows 7. Both cards are seen in both device manager and NVidia control panel. I have uninstalled and reinstalled drivers for the cards, I have checked both cards individually and switched them in the pci-e slots. I have tried two different SLI bridges and still no SLI options in NVidia control panel. I also uninstalled and reinstalled NVidia experience. (I hate NVidia experience)
 
Anyone have any ideas of what I am missing? According to the info I have found online and in the manual for the motherboard, it is sli ready. So I am at a loss on what to try next. I hate to think both bridges are bad but anything can happen I guess.

Did you try the other set of SLI Forks that are on the Cards?
This Card Only Has One Fork

Yes with both bridges, I forgot to add that to my post. This is very frustrating for me. I know I am missing something but I cannot figure it out.

Are the BOTH Cards showing in your BIOS as x8 or x16?

This is why your MB realty does not support SLI https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P8Z68V_LE/specifications/
 
Multi-GPU Support:  "Supports AMD Quad-GPU CrossFireX™ Technology Supports LucidLogix® Virtu™ Technology"
 
1 x PCIe 2.0 x16 (blue) *1
1 x PCIe 2.0 x16 (x4 mode, black) *1
2 x PCIe 2.0 x1 
3 x PCI
 
Their is a third part tool that may work for you but I do not have a link sorry.

That is one piece of info about the card I did not see. Everything else including the download manual from Asus shows it does sli. DO you know the name of the third party tool that may work? I only picked this card up because it was my cheapest option that showed sli. Just my luck for this to happen.

Thank you for the link. I will give this a try and see how it is. I may just try to send this motherboard back and get a refund and maybe sell the rest of the computer. This thing has been a pain in the behind for a few months now.

So whatever trojan, virus or whatever was in the exe for the forced sli is now in my system. All I got was an error it was aborted and to contact the person who made the program. Thank you all for the help I am just going to give up on this system for a bit. I cannot find a suitable motherboard for a reasonable price. Even used people what over a $100, I guess they don't know that these boards and over 5 years old and used. Hope I can send back this one and get my money back.
