How do I activate SLI?
in nvidia control panel it says:
Your graphic card features NVIDIA SLI........., Before you can enable SLI, all graphics cards must be installed in PCI-Express slots with a bandwith of 4x or greater.
both cards are installed, and the sli bridge is ok, and i can find both cards in my computer<manage<.....<display adapters.
do i have to do something in the bios?

Both cards are installed, and the sli bridge is mounted...

mainboard: XFX 780i SLI
 
install the latest drivers for both cards, also download the windows hotfixes for SLI.

Both cards plugged into power supply?
 
You know, if it wasn't for you mentioning them I would of never known about those hotfixes. How come they are not more readily available to customers on the Nvidia site? Yes there's a link to the site to find them, but it's from a blog. I'd like to see that put on a main page that customers could see, somewhere in the driver or software section. Why hide it? Some people don't know to search the web.
 
your 780 board has three pci express 16 slots, maybe you should read the manual.
 
i've done that!
everything is right mounted, so I should be able to enable sli in nvidia controlpanel, but I get that message that I wrote at the first post....
 
for dual card sli you need to populate the top most and bottom most slots. otherwise you should populate each slot individually to see if they're all working correctly.
