I am running dual EVGA 980 Ti SC video cards. ASUS Maximus extreme VIII motherboard . Intel 6700 K processor . Corsair 32 GB DDR 4 ram . Corsair 1200 power supply . Windows 10 operating system 64 bit . Dual Alienware monitors one connected to each graphics card through DVI . Both graphics cards light up, the fans run and the SLI bridge lights up . Both monitors play video, working fine. Here's the kicker , just installed the free game Division and both video cards ran when I played it ? Can someone please help me I have been working on this for about a week now . Nothing else is running SLI either .

    Connect both displays to the primary GPU and check for the SLI option again...

    What slots do you have them in?..Should be in the first and third PCIe x16 slots, and do you have any expansion card (sound card, whatever) in the second PCIe x16 slot which would knock the third PCIe x16 slot down to x4 mode and render SLI inop?

    Do you have anything else but the two GPUs in the PCIe slots? Oops sorry Bob...didn't see your post. Well...great minds...blah blah blah....

    Dual Alienware monitors one connected to each graphics card through DVI.

     
    For 2-Way SLI you must use the Ports on your Primary Card.
    In other words you do not use the Port on your Secondary Card.
