Go to solution Solved by Firearm2112,

My SLI gtx 980s are 'uncoupling' whenever I upgrade past driver version 344.75. Both cards are still being recognized as being installed but I cannot enable the SLI link between them. The bridge is connected snugly and they work perfectly with driver version 344.75 but any upgrade past that is stopping me from running them in SLI. If you have any ideas please respond. Thank you =)

 

 

Try using display driver uninstaller to completely get rid of all traces of the Nvidia drivers. Then when you install the latest driver, check the clean installation box. Also do a custom install and only install the driver, physx, and Geforce Experiance if you want too.
