After uninstalling and reinstalling the graphics cards (I had a working SLI system before the update), and rolling back the drivers to a non-beta release I got it to work again. I don't know what the issue was. I don't care so long as it works, thank you guys though for taking time to look into...

Hello all, I just installed the latest beta Nvidia drivers (290.53) and my PC no longer recognizes my second MSI 560 Ti Hawk. It's getting power (fans are spinning) but the red lights on the GPU are not on. I wasn't having any issues before the update. System Specs: i5 2500k @ 4.8 GHz 8 GB...

So I'm looking to upgrade my mobo and CPU to really get anything out of my second card? Or can I get away with a better CPU?

XFX PRO750W XXX Edition Semi-Modular 80Plus Silver 750 Watt Power Supply & MSI P55-GD65 LGA 1156 Intel P55 ATX Intel Motherboard And the only cards I have installed are the two GPUs and a wireless card. I have not OCed the CPU yet. What should I shoot for? or should I just flat out buy a new...

Thank you guys again for the responses. It's bad airflow which is causing the high temps. Running a little fan directly into my two cards and GPUs top out at about 65C during Witcher 2. Should hold me over until I get a new case.

Unfortunately, Witcher 2 crashes whenever the temperature hits 87C. Of course, myself being a genius I am (Note sarcasm) I realized I have another card sitting in my room that I could see how that performs in comparison. I'll let you guys know what happens after I get home from work in hopes...

Hey all, I just got in my new MSI 560 Ti Hawk Twin Frozr III and I'm concerned about the temperatures. At idle with 60% fan speed, I'm running at about 42C. At max load (Witcher 2) my card tops out at about 87C and stays there. I have four 80mm intake fans (two in front, one on top, and one on...
