When I open up the NVIDIA Control Panel, SLI Surround options are available, but when I go to configure it, all my displays act as though they are being disconnected and the system sound for a hardware connection/disconnection is heard, but nothing happens. When all the monitors are all back on, the option for "Activate all Displays" is checked instead of the surround option. The surround option is still available for me to click, but repeating the process yields the same results. I'm trying to pair a GTX 470 and GTX 560 TI.
This method has worked before on older drivers from around December. I believe they were 331.xx drivers. The only thing that has changed about my system are the updated drivers I'm currently running (335.23). This makes me think it has something to do with the drivers, but I honestly have no clue. Thanks in advance for any help!\
EDIT: It looks like all the settings in that tab reset back to their defaults after I try to configure SLI. If I change my PhysX settings and then configure SLI, they set back to default. I don't know if that's significant at all.
EDIT#2: Just tried again with the 334.89 drivers. No luck.

Phew. Got it fixed. It wasn't a problem with the GPU drivers. My monitors' drivers were bad and clean install of those fixed my issues. Thanks, Ember for this tool. Works perfectly.
I hope you can also make it work for the 337.50 drivers!
Currently getting this error:
: Could not find patch #4, falling back to permutation #1
: Could not find patch #4, falling back to permutation #2
[E] : Could not find patch #4 at all. Please inform Ember @ techPowerUp! forums.
[C] : Patching was aborted because all of the patch locations could not be found.
Because SLI worked perfectly between 670 and 770 with previous drivers.

This is a beta release. I am not updating the patcher unless it does not work on the stable release of the drivers when they are released.
I've created a custom build with a new signature for this beta build and will PM you the patched driver for you to test.

Hi,
like xry, i'm sorry for my bad english.
As Unique or Neoart, i installed the latest beta driver 337.50. And now, SLI between Gigabytes GTX 670 and 680 does not work any more.
Please somebody can tell me when the patch will be available or send it to me by MP.
Thank you in advance

One question, Malwarebytes finds these SLI zip's to contain a "Backdoor.bot" malware....
I have more unsigned dll's on my comp, and none of these give this warning.
/update: ah its the CheckSum.exe it complains about, probably nothing to worry about then, I hope.

False positive from packer used on Checksum.exe. I have unpacked and it is fine, though have been contemplating writing my own implementation into the patcher.

Not surprising that an exe/driver patcher gets flagged

I see Nvidia Quadro K4000 in the desktop cards list. Does that mean this card will work in SLI? Will i need this software to make it work or should it work out of the box if i am using two indentical Quadro k4000 cards? I aslo use HyperSLI since my board does not support SLI.

Currently trying gtx 550ti and n460 gtx hawk. Have Sli link getting black screens tho only under high gpu loads like benchmarks. Can play wow and elder scrolls online on max settings for a awhile but end up getting black screens. Tried 460 main first couldn't open games without black screens. Putting 550 first was able to run games. Running driver 335.23.
So my question is should i use nvflash and nibitor to change device HWID of 460 to match 550 or leave. Or should i try older driver.
(edit) cant change HWID thru bios flash changed back
also now getting windows driver error on restart and being thrown into windows test
