A question for SLI users

Everytime I install updated drivers for my GTX 690 SLI set-up upon restart the Nvidia tray icon displays the following message

"Nvidia SLI Connector is missing".

Clearly the message is displayed but the error is seemingly invalid. Nvidia topology diagram in Nvidia CP would suggest that SLI is fully enabled and running.

Why does this happen? Is this a typical message displayed for all SLI owners? (Driver glitch)
 
I never get that message on my 670 SLI but I have the connector between the 2 cards though.
 
Really no clue...weird with SLI on one board. Oh, wait...do you mean 2x690's? Check, check, and re-check that bridge. Perhaps another 690 user will step up. Sorry and good luck.

BTW does performance reflect SLI is working or not?
 
Are you running the SLI bridge? If so, I would say you have a faulty bridge and are missing out on a crapload of performance.

SLI will still work without the bridge, at vastly lower performance.

I just got my SLI setup running this weekend and did not see that message. It said SLI is enabled.
 
try turning the ribbon around, I know it sounds crazy but give it a shot.

I don't get that error either...
 
Thanks guys.

I tried three different SLI bridges today. And upon new driver installations, all three of them displayed "SLI connector missing" balloon before I enable Quad-SLI in Nvidia CP. All three of them can't be faulty.

From my googling, it seems like a driver glitch for Quad-SLI. 590 Quad-SLI users and (now 690 Quad-SLI users) seem to see this balloon upon new driver installations.

Let us know. I hope you are right...
 
This is a bug that has popped up in various driver releases since the Fermi cards came out. My GTX 580's did it from time to time. At one point I saw it listed as resolved in some driver version and it was fixed and never happened again.
