In like 2 hours or so my second 780 shows up, how do I go about doing the SLI?

 

Do I just install it, hookup the SLI bridge and it'll work? Or do I need to start the comp without the SLI bridge, make sure it works, then shutdown+ install SLI bridge, and start again?

 

First time doing SLI, so I'm trying to be prepared for whatever I have to do so I don't have to run around trying to figure out what to do lol

Basically just install it with the SLI bridge, then go your Nvidia control panel and make sure SLI is enabled.

Done.

Put the card in just like the other one... hook up the sli bridge.  Start the computer.  Go into NVIDIA Control Panel, enable SLI, and then you're good to game sir.

 

Get nvidia inspector just in case you need a specific SLI profile for games that don't play nice with the default profile.

Yep.  But I figured, since he was a first time SLI guy.. I'd just talk about that haha.  

 

Drivers should be familiar to non SLI peeps.

 

Geforce Experience makes it a breeze to upgrade your driver.

 

Do I need a different driver? I'm using 320.18

Nope, just update to the most current one... usually that'll be the best to do.
