Open up NVidia control panel, 3D Settings> Configure SLI, Surround, PhysX

Then in there set the SLI configuration to "Span displays with surround" and hit configure. Go through the options and when the dialogs stop coming it will be in surround mode.

the only options under 3D Steeings are Adjust image settings with preview, Manage 3D settings, Set PhysX configuration. Those are the only options

im in the control panel and under 3d settings there is nothing about configure SLI, the only options are "ADjust image settings with preview, Manage 3D settings, Set PhysX Configuration" The control panel is saying im using 2x GeForce GTX 560 Ti

This is what you should be seeing. Make sure you are running the latest drivers just in case.

i do indeed

also just for reference both of my cards are just evga 560ti's and my mobo isASUS P8Z77-V PRO LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Are both cards showing in device manager, I ask cause it doesn't sound like SLI enabled, or you even have the option

It really sounds like SLI isn't working.

Try reseating the cards and the SLI bridge.

If that doesn't work update your motherboard BIOS. I found a thread elsewhere that said that an update fixed this exact issue with those exact cards.

Some also mentioned uninstalling drivers and installing fresh and clicking clean install fixed theirs.

Yup. Looks like SLI is no worky.
Maybe a bad SLI bridge or even a bad card. Did you swap card locations?
