HELP! MSI Krait Gaming SLI Support

[C13GE]

Hey guys. I've just spent a painful 3 hours cable managing and upgrading my PC. Now I turn it on to see that I don't have the SLI option for my two 560ti's. I look on the website to see compatible GPU's and it doesn't list the 560ti as a compatible GPU. So does this mean I'm F****d?

Thanks

That motherboard support SLI for sure.

But does it support 560ti SLI? only one way to find out

 

It support GTX 560 SLI, so I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work on 560ti SLI

[C13GE]

I don't think it does, it has every other gpu in the 500 series but the Ti. I'm so stupid I went for it because it was on sale and cheap.

you need to use the older GPU driver which supports your 560Ti

 

newer drivers stop support for older models SLi

Am I going to have to uninstall my current drivers?

Yes. Use DDU tool: http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html

It would be physically impossible for MSI to create a board that picks on which gpu it wants to support SLI. Either they all support or none at all.

I thought the same, I don't think they could even do that.

 

For the downloads, its extremely late here and its gonna take 3 hours for the 200mb download of the driver So I'll post in the morning how it ends up. Thanks for your help guys

Just what I thought. As long as GPU and motherboard have SLI option it should work. Then you just need correct software. But 560ti require some old drivers if you want SLI to work. SLI itself is a problem, but together with old drivers ... I just hope you won't have any yproblems with it

The driver didn't work. I don't even have an option to select SLI, but it recognises I have two 560ti's

Okay so I've done some messing around. It is saying that my SLI connector isn't attached. I have a 3 way bridge and the bridge that came with the cards to test, but its too noisy to switch out at 2am

Let our powers combine.

I finally got it working. After a few sneaky checks throughout the night, I uninstalled and reinstalled the latest Nvidia driver and then I replaced the SLI bridge with the one the 560ti's came with. I don't know what happened but now it wants to work haha
