9800 GX2 Questions

[Loneshadow]

After only seeing 512mb of ram on my Geforce 9800GX2 under it's properties I installed TechPowerUp GPU-Z 0.1.9. It's also telling me that i only have 512mb of ram and that SLI is disabled. When i look at my devise manager I see only one card (I hear with the 7950 you see 2 here).

I have the latest driver 174.74 and I looking for a SLI setting in the Nvidia control panel under manage 3D then looked all though the control panel with no luck.

Should I be able to see the 9800gx2 as a SLI or no? Also I'm i just not seeing both 512rams but that are working or do i have a problem?

I have a 750watt PSU,
790i Ultra MB
and of course o Geforce 9800GX2.

Any advice would be helpful.

thank you
Mark

I think it's not detecting your GPU properly.

Suggest you uninstal and re-install with the latest drivers

[JAMES_911]

what is your operating system?

Vista Home Premuim. I'll try to reinstal the driver

[Loneshadow]

Cleaned and reinstalled driver.. Nothing changed.

Review sites say the card should be running around 60c idel. Mines running around 49-50c cold and 60-64 playing Crysis.

Here is a Screenshot with some info.

Sent the card back for a replacement..


:UPDATE:

I just put in the new 9800GX2 and it now shows 2 cards in device manager and the card temp is idel at 60c (like most of the reviews i read). GPU-Z says SLI enabled now. Mark06 went up over 3000 points. So all is good. Thanks and I hope this info will help others.

Good Journey
