Or do I need to uninstall my video driver first then reinsall the driver?

Any other advice?

Also, do I need to make sure the BIOS on the new card BFG Tech are the same is the old card?

Thanks,

Just stick it in, and it will find it upon bootup. After bootup, it tells you that SLI is found, and then has a msg to click here to enable it. For some reason I had to reboot after doing so, or all my games crashed.

I'm not sure if the ASUS board is the same as some of the other SLI boards, but I know you have to switch the jumpers on some to enable SLI. Some boards require changing a little card around. After you get that taken care of uninstall the vid drivers and shutdown your system. Install the 2nd card and the bridge and reboot. Install the new vid drivers and reboot. You should get a popup window saying SLI has been detected. Go into the Nvidia CP and enable SLI from the menu. Now reboot your system and SLI should be up and running.

I think that the correct process is somthing like, put the new card in a shipping box and send it to me. LOL, hope you have fun with all that power.
