no sli option in nvidia control panel

[Keyur_1]

Hello,
I'am not able to find SLI option in nvidia control panel. Please help!

Config :
Windows 10 pro
Intel i7 4790 processor
Msi Z97 Gaming 3 motherboard
16 GB Corsair ram
2GB + 2GB zotac geforce GTX680
2 TB Harddisk.

SLI will not work with that motherboard. It says it is CrossFire compatible but SLI has stricter requirements.
Try only using the 2 GPUs and no other PCI cards.
The gaming 5 board would be able to for sure, but not the gaming 3.

As above, the motherboard must support SLI.

is it about windows 10?
i had a talk to seller from where i brought this motherboard, they said this motherboard will support sli

 

[RobCrezz]

No, nothing to do with windows 10, its simply that your Motherboard doesnt support SLI.

okay thank you so much!
gaming 5 will support sli right?

 

[Starcruiser]

Yes, the support page says the Gaming 5 can 2-way SLI up to the 980 ti.

 

[RobCrezz]

Yes it does. Although if you would need to buy a whole new motherboard, you may just want to sell the two graphics cards and get a single faster card like the GTX 1070, which would be faster than them two in SLI anyway.

If this was a new build then it would be a simple matter to return the board and get a better one.
2 things you should never cut corners with: motherboard and PSU.
