Question? Has INVIDIA released a driver that supports SLI recently? I noticed since I updated to 419.67 I no longer see the SLI support thru the INVIDIA Control Panel! Anyone else having the same issue or am I missing something?
 
I finally got it up & running! I had the BIOS set to force X16 DUH LOL 
 
 
Thanks Guys!

    No issues with SLI that I've seen. Been on the 419 drivers for a while (Win10 Insider, yay). Try reseating the cards and the SLI bridge. If you didn't select the "perform a clean install" ooption, try that with the newer version.

    DDU to remove all traces of Old driver, then install new driver - previously downloaded directly from Nvidia.
     
    Go offline & stop all background software - even security, thats why your offline & it stops Win 10 from installing anything during your driver update

    Okay so I stopped the Windows Update service
    Used DDU & removed the drivers 
    I removed the #2 1080
    Installed the new driver
    restarted & still nothing in the device manager nor the NVIDIA control panel!
    The SLI bridge is lighting up! I also opened the BIOS & it only shows 1 card! WTH
    I'm going to go back into the BIOS & make sure the slot is occupied now!
     
    Any other suggestions?
     
    My specs:
    Win 10 Pro
    ASUS MAXIMUS V EXTREME / 1155 / Z77
    intel i7 3770k
    x2 EVGA GTX 1080's

    Still having issues? Only reason I ask is because your op, and your last post contradict each other.

    " I also opened the BIOS & it only shows 1 card!" Then your Card is not being seen and no way will the OS See it.
    Reset the Bios back to the Default Settings, is the Bios Current for your Motherboard?
    Maybe set PCIe to GEN3 from Auto in the Bios.
    Remove the Graphics Cards and Reinsert them in the Slots Check your PCIe Power Cables are Plugged in and Lock on the GPU and PSU Side.
    Are you using 2 Separate Power Cables to Each Graphics Card using Only One Pigtail From Each of the 4 Cables?
    Just because the LED Light come on dose not mean the Bridge is still Good.
    Check on your Motherboard Bios and make sure that Both Cards are running at lest x8.

    Confirm that the PCIe Slots that your are using with that CPU are Available for SLI, depending on Other things you have installed on MB
     
    The MB Mfg has the PCIe "Population Rules" based on CPU - (number of PCIe lanes CPU can support) --> Check in Your MB Manual
     
    If its not seen in the BIOS & you have checked that card is correctly seated & PCIe power cables are full seated --> test 1 card at a time to confirm GPU functions as it should
     
     
    This from your OP --> "I finally got it up & running! I had the BIOS set to force X16 DUH LOL "
     
    So its working as it should ?
     
    If it is fixed --> Open your first post & please edit your Title --> Add something in the front like [Resolved] - so the Forums knows all is well & your running
