Just received a new Z390 Dark motherboard.  Installed with two GTX Titan Black GPUs.  SLI is not recognized or offered as an option in the NVIDIA Control Panel.  Everything else is functioning fine.  Have tried the GPUs in different configurations on the board, uninstalled and reinstalled drivers with clean install, performed DDU clean as well with no success.  Both GPUs are recognized by the device manager and are recognized in the NVIDIA control panel.  Any recommendations on getting SLI functioning?  Thanks in advance.

    Try a different sli bridge. Make sure both cards are running at x8 pci-e bus interface speed.

    If you have an add-in card in the bottom PCIe x16 slot (PE4), that will use 4 of PE2's 8 lanes so that it electrically runs in x4 Mode..NVIDIA SLI requires that slots electrically run in at least x8 Mode..If you have a card in PE4, take it out and try again.
     
    You can see what the slots are running at in the mobo BIOS (I think) or the GPU-Z Bus Interface..You can run the Render Test in GPU-Z by clicking the "?" button to the right of Bus Interface.

    Thanks for the help both of you!!  Removing my wireless card from PE4 resolved the issue.  I'm SLI again.  Much appreciated!
