So I just got a great deal on a EVGA GTX 970 4gb, and wanted to use it alone side my current GPU MSI GTX 970 4gb. So from what I understand I should be able to use both within SLI. It recognized both cards but it does not see that I have an SLI brigde installed. I have tried more than one bridge. I have looked over everything on my build and everything does support SLI. And before anyone asks yes I have tried to enable it in the 3d settings but it is grayed out because of it not seeing the bridge. Please help, this is my first try at SLI and I would love to get it up and running.

I thought SLI only allows the main card to be connected with monitors?

Are you sure the bridge is functioning?

The issue is not the bridge I have tried using more than one

Try disabling PhysX, and see if the option to enable SLI appears.

Are you able to disable Physx?
