Bridge Not Detected Trying To Pair Zotac 970 & Asus 970 For SLI

[muskyx1]

I'm pulling my hair out. Trying to tri-SLI 2 Zotac GTX 970's and an Asus OC 970 on an Asus x99 Deluxe. Regardless of whatever the connection combination, Nvidia control panel says to connect a bridge to the Asus 970.

Even in 2 way SLI, the 2 Zotac's work OK. But replacing one of the Zotacs with the Asus and using the same bridge, the bridge is not detected.

gotta use an edited driver to get sli to enable.

Thanks. Unfortunately, I used the patch from that thread and the Asus OC 970 was no longer being recognized as an nNivida card. Had to remove all Nvidia related files on my PC and then perform a fresh install of Nvidia drivers before it would be detected again. I'm just gonna return it, eat the 10% restock fee and get another Zotac.
