what do I need to do to make them work in SLI mode ? like they both are detected and shown in the hardware manager, how do i make them work in sli ?
 
Isn't there a bridge you're suppose to connect to the cards? Then probably enable something in the drivers. I'm not totally sure, though. I've never used SLI ;P

in menu it says in properties it supose to have enable sli thing, but it doesnt have it, hrmm.... what bridge is that ? gimme a link :p
 
Looks like this. However, your motherboard will need to support sli. It depends on what chipset your motherboard has. I THINK you need a nForce4 chipset, though I'm not too sure. There's probly a how-to-do thread on sli somewhere here.

Have you activated it in BIOS? It should be in the Advanced Menu.

ya i tryed in in auto, and dual video card modes

when i have it in auto mode it says "you must remove any graphics cards that are not capable with nvidia sli technology before enabling sli"

when i have it in dual video card mode it says "you video card features SLI technology. Add another card for significant improvements" but it's already in.. hrmmmmm

you still didn't say if you switched that single/dual video card around. im assuming you did, but i've found that a lot of people miss the obvious around here
