Hi! Why I can't configure SLI? it says on the description This is diabled because your displays can be activated when "maximize 3d perfomance" is selected but I can't even click on Maximuze 3d performance. I also made sure that SLI bridge is connected, I updated the drivers, both are GTX 970 but different brand ( 1 EVGA, 1 ASUS). please help.20399111_1397962606986628_542668527_o.thumb.png.ce06c1c5d48019eea4756107374379e0.png

As it says next to the yellow triangle you need an SLI bridge between the cards to use SLI.

 

(Edit)

You said you have a bridge, I'd try reconnecting it or trying a new one it may be broken or not sufficient some cards need a high bandwidth one that you may not be using.

@JDE an SLI bridge from my old MSI z77 MoBo

Which one? Different motherboards came with different models of SLI Bridge.

 

Also what resolution is your monitor?

UPDATE! now it's showing Maximize 3d performance but it still says that SLI disabled.

@mail929 yea. my monitor is 1920x1080 144hz. I tried lowering the refresh rate to 60hz and still doesn't work. we bought a SLI bridge earlier. but I can't use it since the card is in different size.
