Hey guys, after some trouble installing the drivers for my 970s I noticed that Nvidia control panel is nowhere to be found. I just want to check if it is set to SLI. Any thoughts? How to activate it or install it?

Install the latest drivers.

I'm running the .63 drivers with my 970 on windows 10 and they have worked great so far.

I have those, but I don't have Nvidia control panel. You used to be able to right click the home screen and access it from there. Now what?

Idk :/

 

Try rebooting your PC, my nvidia control panel didn't show up until after I did that.

There is nothing in the notification area either... /: 

Reinstall driver? Also, does your DXdiag show DX11.3 or DX12? Just curious.

Use GPU-Z to see if you have SLI on or off, since that's what you were asking for.

@Nineshadow should I use DDU to uninstall every nvidia driver and then download the driver manually ?

I guess you should try that.

This is happening to me as well. GTX 960. No NVIDIA Control Panel to be found. Also GeForce Experience isn't in the system tray at all (even when it's open).

I have fixed this in my case. What I did was roll back the graphics driver (press windows key + R, type devmgmt.msc, press enter, go into display adapters, then your card, go to driver tab and click roll back driver), then reinstalled it with GeForce Experience. This fixed it immediately. Obviously the driver had been installed with Windows Update in the first place and it can't have installed properly.

Same thing, only I used DDU and then downloaded the latest driver manually while having my internet connection off, just to make sure windows update wasn't doing anything I didn't want.

Excuse my ignorance, but what's DDU?
