I wanted to just ask the pro's on here how to setup an SLI configuration for two GTX 970's, aftermarket ACX cooler versions. Once I put the second card in and attach the SLI bridge, do I need to install drivers for both cards, or will one driver setup suffice for both? Is there a place where I turn SLI on / off while on the desktop, or is that located in the Nvidia panel? And if there is anything else you think I should be aware of, please let me know. I'm pretty sure I'll be fine with my psu. It's a 750W gold Antec Truepower Classic. I did the worst case scenario on wattage calculator and it suggested a 680watt psu, so I think I should be fine.
 
Solution
Once both cards are installed with the bridge and PCI-e connectors, all you will have to do is go into Nvidia control panel and under 3D settings. Click on Configure SLI, Surround, PhysX and just click the circle for Maximize 3D performance.
