I forgot to do the SLIstringinstall, just tried and I got "unabled to create new DSDT table". Uploaded the temp0 it produced.

I went into test mode from post 664

I can test it tomorrow, sorry to trouble you with it, I know you are busy.

I don't think my 790GX board will ever be fixed so it is my only chance to test SLI now.

Without windows recognaising your card, no SLI for sure. Check cards.

Edit: your dat already have SLIC string no need to mod.

I really appreciate all your help aGeoM and anatolymik. But it's late here and I've got to head to bed and get some sleep before classes tomorrow. First thing after classes I'll be checking my video cards and getting back to you guys. I hope we can figure this out. You guys are amazing.
