Problems with 4-way sli 4gb Evga 670 SC.

Thread Starter 
Hi fellow enthaisuasts,. I just bought a z77 g1 sniper 3, a 3770k and 4x 4gb Evga 670 superclocked. The cards work well in ungine and alienvspredator alone , but once i 4 way sli, the driver crashes about a minute into the benchmark. Same for bf3. The game crashes. Any idea why? I really wanna get these cards going. Got a table fan blowing right into my nzxt switch 810 case so temps shouldn't be an issue. Max temps were like 57-63 degrees before the video driver crashes. Hope someone can shed light on this issue. I'm using corsair. Vengence 1600 MHz ram 16gb.

It's pretty lol because my box from EVGA literally says "4-way" sli support on the box. And I know that currently drivers only support 3-way, and scaling from sli to tri-sli isn't even that great right now.

So you mean Evga released the 670 and labelled 4 way without it actually being able to work? What do I do with the fourth card then?

Hold on to it and wait. You likely won't see any difference without it anyways.

I find it strange then that this guy here managed to get his 4 gtx working in sli, he even posted scaling charts, seemed to scale well in ungine. Btw I'm running 7680x 1440 res so really need as much horse power as I can get .http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/355067-33-cooling

I wish people would stop saying "4 way SLi doesn't scale well". At least with the 580's, at very high resolutions, 4way SLi was amazing.

Well he could be running 1080p so maybe don't see the scaling taking effect. He did say doesn't scale great, so prob res isn't high enough to support good scaling. Btw you have any idea how to go about solving the issue I have?

Update your drivers.
In the launch day NVIDIA drivers didnt support gtx670 4way sli.
Now they maybe do.
