    Ok so here's the deal. I have 2 GeForce 8600M GT Video cards and i have my SLI setting turned on. With that said, i dont think both of my cards are currently running. is there a way i can test the bridge or check to see if there is connectivity between the two video cards? when i check my display settings in personalize (im running vista by the way) it never indicates that both are running, it only displays one of the two cards. any help would be appreciated. thanks in advance.

    Are you running recent drivers? Does GPUZ detect both cards being linked?

    well i just reset my video cards back to their original settings so as of right now it says they are detected. how to i check to see how much of the workload is being shared between the two cards?

    UPDATE

    ok so the program is saying that i have two video cards and i upgraded them to 163.44 for gears of war but it's kind of laggy or skipping or something, and i still cant see how much of the workload each card is handling. if there is a nvida drive that you can recommend i would appreciate it. i'm running vista 32-bit by the way. thanks
