SLI

Hi

I am using Vista Premium 32 bit with Quad Core 6600 , 2 GB Ram and Asus
P5N-E SLI motherboard. Have two Albatron Nvidia 8800 GTS PCI Exp cards
connected (I think) by SLI. What I mean by think is that I don't know how
to tell if they are attached together. In Device Manager only one graphic
card is listed while I get four Processors in it. Should I have two Graphic
cards in the list? I can't get a video signal out of the second card when I
connect it up to my LCD but do get one out of the first. The PC boots fine
just no picture. Using 163.44 Nvidia Vista 32 bit drivers.

Thanks for help. Shawn.

Re: SLI

Do you have the SLI bridge connected? Its a small pc board connecting the
two cards together. In device manager, both graphics cards should show up.
You might want to power off, and reseat the cards.

Hi Chick

Thanks for your help after I read your posting I took my machine down to my
dealer and it turned out they didn't set the selector card on the
motherboard for SLI so it was fixed pretty easily. Gudday from Australia!!
