SLI issues

[ebeattie]

I originally posted this in the technical section, but no replies. I really need some help.


Well, Im am getting thoroughly fed up with my system. see sig for specs. rolled back drivers to 92.9 and am running current 6.86 nforce drivers.

Problem: When SLI is enabled, I am using the top card for my output. When I start or reboot, the top card outputs the signal, but as soon as windows is done loading and proceeds to the login screen, the top card stops sending out the signal. however the bottom card now fully outputs the display signal. when I rebbot from this, the bottom card that I am forced to use for output does not show the bios loading screens.

I assume that the second SLI card is not activated untill windows loads. but why oh why will my "main" card not display the bois load screens? I am positive I have not touched the multi display settings, in fact, I have removed, driver cleaned, and reinstalled both my forceware and nforce drivers, and I have even rolled back to the previous version forceware drivers and this issue is STILL occuring.

I have the jumpers on my LanParty set to SLI mode.

rrrrrrr!!!!!!! has anyone ever experienced this issue? where do I go to see if multi display has been enabled?

There should be an option in your BIOS that allows you to use either videocard as primary. It should look something like this: "Init dispay 1st: PCIe1>PCI>PCIe2" You can change it around, also. So if PCIe1 is considered the master card by your BIOS You'll want to have your display hooked to the card in the PCIe1 slot. Just an idea.
