As usual please list all available hardware.

Well, when you say both cards are detected, where do you see this? At a first glance sounds like a driver issue where I would play around also with older nVidia drivers to see if this brings a change.
Is there any other components you see in the control panel as not detected? Especially the Chipset drivers?

I have a Asus Maximus IX Apex motherboard
I7 7700k at @ 4.7GHz
Do I need to list everything? Like PSU, cooler and such or is this enough?
Also I just ran a BIOS update to 1301 but it wasn’t working before aswell. I uninstalled and reinstalled my nvidia graphica driver( at least I think I have)
They are detected in task manager, device manager and GeForce experience
I don’t have intel graphics drivers is that a problem?
Is there anything that you want me to send ?

Please list all hardware as requested before Karim.

If you could provide some screenshots of what you see that would really be a great help.
The iGUP will not be linked to this topic. I was speaking about the chipset drivers e.g. steering PCIe controller and lanes allowing SLI end of the day.

Corsair H150i
4TB HHD Seagate
500GB Samsung EVO PRO 860
500GB WD Blue SSD
Corsair HX1000i PSU
That's it I think
I will be able to provide more detail this evening (UK time) at around 21:45, so if you could write exactly what you want me to send you that was would be great.

Everything works now I had to tweak the position of the cards but still thank you!

Say, what you do mean with "had to tweak" so that others looking up this thread know the solution. ;-)

I had to look into the manual and look at which PCI e slots were x8 as SLI only supports x8 and up, not x4. I hade to move one of my graphics cards down a slot which allowed both cards to run at x8
