Exclamation Is my SLI enabled?
Hey OCN. My question is... Is my SLI enabled for my EVGA 8800GT Supperclocked Editions? What is the right way to enable SLI in VISTA? How do i know if it is enabled? My 3DMark06 scores are the same as a single 8800GT SC. I Enabled SLI with Nvidia Control Panel! Is that how you do it?

If you have enabled SLi via the nVidia control panel then SLi will be operating. Bear in mind that people who are getting higher scores than you may have their systems overclocked, have SP1 installed, be using different drivers, or may have disabled services via MSCONFIG and SERVICES.MSC.

I wouldn't expect much more than 11000pts in 3DMark06 with your current system. This is because the total 3DMark score benefits more from more CPU resources as oppsed to additional graphics cards.

Remember, these are synthetic benchmarks...and your CPU doesn't do too well in that area.

Real world game performance should be fine though.

I know on my DFI boards, I had to set a jumper on motherboard, is there a jumper that needs to be switched?

That doesn't always work either. GPU-z would say my SLI was disabled when it really was enabled.
