Hello everyone,
is there a way to get the 970FTW+ and normal FTW running in SLI?
I tryed fresh installing drivers but i cant enable the sli mode, but it recognizes the 2 graphics cards.
it is because of the different bios versions?

    Do not attempt this further. Contact EVGA tech support at once. In order for this to work you need two exact cards.

    It is because the cards are incompatible with SLI due to a change in the SLI fingers.

    Contact EVGA and they will assist you in correcting the issue. The ssc+ and ftw+ are the only two 980's that can SLI together after the revisions.

    What Scarlet said. They changed the PCB layout and the SLI connector. The SSC+ and FTW+ both have the ability to use the Pro SLI Bridge light feature which changed things a little and causes the the problem.

    Correct so for example you can't sli a GTX 970 FTW+ and GTX 970 FTW or another example would be a GTX 970 FTW and a GTX 970 SSC.

    Different SLI should work for you. https://github.com/EmberV...ferentSLIAuto/releases
