Default Strange SLI Problem

Just got my hands on a second BFG 8800GT and plugged it in, bridged it, enabled SLI, yadda yadda. Last time I did this, it worked fine. This time around, my screen is much darker then normal, even in games. I went into the nVidia control panel and tried to bump up the gamma, but it didn't have an effect. Am I missing something?

So just crank up the brightness? you could always uninstall the drivers then run driversweeper in safemode then reinstall that will most likely fix it IF it was an issue.

http://phyxion.net/ for driversweeper
Make sure you get the latest drivers from Nvidia and to go into safemode spam F8 at boot or click start type msconfig go to boot tab and checkmark safe boot then hit apply and reboot and once you're done uncheck and apply and reboot.Also after using driversweeper use ccleaner or disk cleanup to remove anything remaining of NVIDIA.

Yeah I'm not sure if it's even a problem. When I did this same setup last week, this didn't happen. Same drivers and everything. Using the newest drivers for the 8 Series cards.
