Very nice tidbit of info on the multi branding issue. Quality find warhammer!

Also @ ohtwoone...you should be able to boot a card by itself in the bottom slot to verify functionality of the slot as well.

hey,

im stuck on the first step, i just cannot find the "set sli" option

here is a screen shot of what i see when following first step



Also I had similar problem 1 week ago I updated my mobo and no sli so I SWITCHED OFF the PC and pushed the cards in till it clicked and locked into place (fault was 1 video card was not sitting in slot propley) and sli apperard in the control panel.

@ sneekypeet, i tried what you said, and it seems fine, booted up and displayed games etc.
@ warhammer, also tried that just before, neither of my cards were loose.

so, i know that both my cards are fine, both the pci slots are fine, would a dodgey bridge cable do this?

I am not sure have read you can run sli with out bridge but you dont get the best preformance.
Have you checked the asus forums regarding your mobo?
Any ASUS guru can help him out
