[Zotac GTX 970s] SLI Bridge Not Detected !

   I recently bought a second GTX 970 and HB SLI bridge, but I am unable to enable SLI in NVIDIA Control Panel.

I've updated drivers, swapped PCI slots, updated bios, tried new sli bridge and have read multiple other forums on this issue but I can't seem to find the fix.

 

I know both cards have power and are being recognized by the computer, and that the SLI bridge is at least getting power.

At this point, I'm honestly desperate and anything that could lead me in the right direction would be appreciated greatly.

 

Computer Specs

Video Card 1: ZOTAC GTX 970 AMP! Extreme Core Edition

Ram:16GB DDR4

Looks like you have SLI disabled, which would stop it from working.

I am sadly unable to select "Maximize 3D performance" as it is grayed out/unselectable :( @Crunchy Dragon

You want the monitor plugged in the card closest to the CPU on the motherboard.

I currently have a triple monitor setup, but I do have my "main" monitor to my highest vertical video card? @Christophe Corazza

Well, I was able to contact Zotac Support and we had an interesting conversation. I plan on "attempting" to install a custom bio because I'm desperate but hopefully this will help someone else from not making my mistakes. I will keep you posted on how it goes :/
