Need help with SLI Graphics Card Issue.


So the problem is identical in both Win8 and Win10.

My suggestions (in no particular order:

1. Try a different bridge (a 3-way should also work for example if one came with your motherboard)
2. If possible, try both graphics cards, configured for sli, in another system. Hopefully you have a friend with a compatible system.
3. Test your PSU with a multi-meter.

Edit: And to confirm. You are saying sli configuration was previously functioning correctly within your Win10 installation before failing 'out of the blue'?

QUAD SLI GTX590 issues/question

Just to point this out as someone who was planning on getting a Quad-SLI setup, that PSU could potentially be a problem for Quad-SLI as all of the PSU's listed by Nvidia for use in that setup are 1100-1500w and if your system isn't able to draw enough power to run both of the cards at full throttle that would cause a significant bottleneck as well as that of the processor.

Step 1: Overclock that processor as much as possible.
Step 2: If performance is not where you want it after Step 1 look into a potential PSU issue.
Step 3: If your power supply is not the issue perhaps look into downgrading your cards to something like SLI GTX 580's 3 GB extreme edition or Crossfire 6970 Lightning editions since either of those cards have significant overclocking potential and would likely scale better in SLI/CF than a Quad-SLI setup.


Nvidia's Quad-SLI guidelines not exceptionally helpful but you never know:
