x2 gtx 970 g1 gigabyte sli

[xw1ck]

Hi Forum, just installed my x2 new gtx 970 replacement for my 680s. but i have the problem that only one card is showing in control panel. and i dont know why, i have an asus rampage iv extreme motherboard and first gpu is installed in the first pci-e slot and the second card in the third pci-e. im using the republic gamers sli bridge which came with the motherboard and worked perfectly with the 680s, :S, i tried to switch around with the sli bridge nothing worked, flashed bios to newer version, so im thinking the sli bridge might not work with gigabyte ??

all help is aprreciated !!!

2 lanes between cards

But the SLI bridge is connected as shown?
You also mentioned that you tried the bridge 'the other way round' in case it was back to front?

after i placed the second gpu in second lane so the gpus close to each other no problems works great thanks for the help

I am experiencing a similar issue with the same gfx cards.

GTX 970 G1 on Rampage V Extreme, i7-5930k cpu.

50% the time the motherboard will not detect the second GPU. other 50% will detect and work perfectly. I am using 1st and 3rd pcie lanes as suggested by asus because both gfx will get 16x. REALLY annoying bug. I hope asus fix this in bios updates
