    Welcome to the EVGA Forums & Congrats on your first Thread
     
    FAQ - GTX 970 and SLI functionality
     
    (excerpt)  See the chart
    The three styles of GTX 970s will not function in SLI together. See the chart below to see which cards will function together in SLI. Cards in the same group will function in SLI together. A card from one group will not work in SLI with a card from another column.
     
     
    FAQ - Why is there no SLI option in Nvidia Control Panel ?

    The SLI option is not available because that mobo doesn't support NVIDIA SLI because with another card in the PCIe x16_2 slot it only runs in x2 Mode and NVIDIA SLI requires that slots run in at least x8 Mode.

    The attachment below is taken from page 1-11 of your mobo manual.

    However, you can try the Different SLI [AUTO] Tool which can also enable SLI on some non-SLI/Crossfire compatible motherboards.No guarantees on that.
