hello guys I have been tearing my hair over this issue for hours now.
I have been trying to sli my evga acx sc 04G-P4-2974-KR with my super clocked evga blower style 04G-P4-1972-KR it does not work at all, if I want to use individually they work but can not sli control panel says "to use maximum 3d performance, connect the SLI ready graphics with an sli connector"
 
motherboard is an asus maximus vii ranger, evga 850psu G2.
 
they both work individually E.G if i connect dvi to either gpu they will work and run games perfectly.
 
help me please guys

    Try the other SLI Ports or Forks.

    Fix can be found in post #2 if you don't want to return one of the cards to get a matching replacement.

    Sajin I Googled and followed what I could of your posts before even posting here, I used that differentsliauto.exe file you posted and what happens is that when I reboot my resolution goes down to like 800x600 and then I have to reinstall nvidia control panel and the problem was not resolved. And other thing I saw this FAQ ID # 59534

    According to that my cards are not compatible is there still hope?

    Which version of DifferentSLI did you download? There is a new version of 1.2.

    Are you running windows 8/8.1? If so, you may need to disable driver enforcement before & after running differentsli to get things working properly.

    Also is it fine to extract the and run different sli on any directory or do I need to specify?

    Just to let you know
    I follow the steps however on install it works and tells me to reboot but able there is one error "could not find (my account name)"
    When I restart all nvidia drivers are gone and I need to reinstall them

    Driver enforcement... http://www.howtogeek.com/167723/how-to-disable-driver-signature-verification-on-64-bit-windows-8.1-so-that-you-can-install-unsigned-drivers/
     
    You can extract the files to anywhere you want. You must follow all the steps inside the readme exactly as written.

    You'll need to temporarily disable Secure Boot inside the BIOS, disabled driver enforcement, install diffrentsli, then enable Secure Boot again after you get differentsli working.
