I bought a Asus Sabertoot P67 and added two Nvidia GTX 480's with a fresh install of windows 7 64...

When bringing up NCP, enable SLI does not exist? This is my second MB so it must not support SLI even though Asus claims that it does support SLI.

I guess im taking this back for the Asus P67 Deluxe edition; hopefully I do not have the same problems with that board. I have seen other topics on this particular subject matter with no solutions. 🙁

Its not a hardware issue and I have tried old / new drivers, still no luck, the cards worked fine in another X58 board
 
Finally got mine working I had all the same problems with the 990fx ASUS Sabertooth.....Download the new Beta drivers
275.50-desktop-win7-winvista-64bit-english-beta they are made for the sabertooth architecture

Man works like a champ I thought for a minute i would have to tear this thing down and RMA.
4 hours fooling with this thing
 
This happened to me. I didn't even have the SLI configuration box appearing in the 3D Settings tab of the Nvidia Control Panel.

It turned out that my second (bottom) graphics card wasn't fully seated and locked into its slot in the motherboard. Here is what I did. I removed both graphics cards, installed the bottom card first so I could make sure it was fully locked into the slot, then I reinstalled the top video card. Booted up, opened the Nvidia Control Panel and there it was, the SLI config under the 3D Setting tab!! Fixed. 🙂

The Asus Sabertooth P67 does SLI.

I left out the electrical safety, wiring, buttons, screws and stuff.

The way I fixed my P67 Sabertooth was uninstalling Windows 7 SP1, I kept getting NCP crash and error code 43 whenever I tried to enable SLi, and what do you know, the damn thing works now in SLi after uninstalling SP1. I spent a good week and 1/2 trying to figure out this issue. Nvidia customer support guy told me to try this method and he also mentioned they were working with MS to release a fix for this very soon, so props to him!

I almost RMA'd this board, thank god I didn't. 😀

Hopes this helps anyone with similar SLi issues.

 


G_yuen, u r a life saver...words cannot express my gratitude! I've a Sabertooth P67 B3 with 2xGTX 460, but just couldn't get my SLi running. I've tried every possible thing to make it work for months and look for a solution on the net. One good thing I did was keeping my eye on this thread. I clean installed Win 7 Ultimate over the SP1 and now when I enable SLi I can't believe my eyes! It's works like a charm now 😀
So any update on the MS fix yet?
 



the black screens you get come from the clock frequency on the 560ti soc. it can't actually handle 1000mhz even though they bragged that it would. put it to 960mhz using the OC guru that came with the card and the black screens should stop.

can't help you with the bsod's though, sorry.
 

I totally agree
Anyone have a solution on sp1?
