So I have a very wierd problem.
I searched all over the internet and nothing seems to work.
I can't enable SLI on my system and the option doesn't even appear in the nvidia control panel !
-I3 6100
-MSI Z170a Gaming Pro Carbon - bios v1.80
-1x 8gb ddr4 2666 crucial tactical tracers
-1x Samsung 840 pro 128 gb
-2x WD 160 gb 7200 rpm hdd 3.5"
-Corsair TX650W V2
-2x 8800gtx ( evga & asus)
-Win 10 x64 pro latest update and build
-Single monitor 24" fhd via a dvi plug put in the first gpu.
I am testing some stuff but this never happened to me before with the SLI issue.
What i tried so far:
-The psu only has 2x native pci-e 6+2 connectors. I used for the second gpu cable extensions and made sure I put them on separate sata/molex cables from the psu. Both extensions are from 2x 4 pin molex to 6 pin pci-e.
- The mobo has 3 pci-e slots. Tried in every slot and every combination and every time they are shown in the device manager. But nothing to have sli.
- latest drivers for 8800gtx 342.01 tried even older ones. Nothing
- tried 3 different sli bridges and in both sli conectors on the gpus. Extra cleaned the conectors. Nothing
- Got a third 8800gtx (dell) and paired with the others one at a time. Nothing
-Gpu drivers fresh uninstall via DDU and reinstalled. Nothing
So any help is highly apreciated.
Thank you.
