    It appears that it is not supported, due to the Vram extension limit.... (OS memory address limit) 
    Searching produces -zero- results at Nvidia for a GTX 690 and Windows XP 32bit
     
    You "could" mod a .ini
    But you would still have issues with the OS memory limitation...

    Thank you for the response , but 3dmark01 do not score well on w7 or w8 , it has to be run in windows xp 32bit , but it only works on one gpu the other gpu on the gtx690 cannot be activated with any driver , only a couple of drivers work for xp 32bit so not much to choose from , unless we find a moded driver or a way to activate sli in the 690 in xp. Apretiate your help :) , hopefuly there is a way , we just have not found it yet

    Not sure if this will help you, but:

    Apparently Nvidia removed all official support for GTX 690's and GTX 680's in SLI for all versions of Windows XP and the only way to make it work is with that fix.

    I'm inclined to agree. I believe you'll need Windows Vista or higher. Preferably Windows 7 or Windows 8.
