bfg geforce 7800 gtx (x2)
2gb 200mhz ocz memory
650w power supply
dfi lanparty nf4 sli-dr mainboard
amd athlon 64 3700+

i've installed both correctly with the bridge and both are plugged in completely to their slots with connection to the power supply. i have uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers for my motherboard and graphic cards three times. both cards are recognized by my device manager, however when i go to the nvidia control panel it doesnt recognize the sli configuration or allow me to enable sli.

any thoughts?
 
Oh, DFI, you have to set the jumper pins for those boards. Look at your B/M manual to see where they go.
 
Yep, that fixed it. Thanks, dumb jumpers :(
Now I know why they included a "jumper puller" with my motherboard!
 
Well, it works.. However, I've noticed the performance is less then spectacular. If anything it seems to be about the same. I've also noticed while playing Counter-Strike just now that my cursor was flickering a little bit. Not really sure why my performance hasn't improved(not just cs, also a few others haven't improved) and the cursor flickering thing.
 
Easy way to test is run a benchmark like 3dmark or something. If the score is about the same with SLi and w/o, then some setting is wrong.
 
I'll try that. Anything specific I should start with if I do figure out some setting is wrong?
 
Chipset Drivers, and Video, I am assuming by the way you are talking that you just got SLI.
