I am confused. Although never tested by Dell, based on the picture, you already have them installed with the SLI bridge. So what exactly is the problem?

Hi, thanks for your answer.
The SLI option won´t show off in the nvidia driver. Installed the latest Version 368.xx, which also recognizes the two cards and both of them are utilized in resolve, but there is no option to activate SLI....
---- Edit ---
Sry to many Numbers. I tried some older Drivers also with a clean install. But the latest Driver i tried is the: 381.89 . And (not that important) the CPUs are 2683 V3 ;)

So your using the retail GeForce drivers which in theory should make it work. Perhaps this is a limitation of the 7910 BIOS and motherboard that cannot be overcome. We know that Nvidia only validated the Quadro video card and driver for SLI on this model.

Thanks for your Info. So there is no Dev Bios, Hotfix, Beta Driver/Bios which could activate SLI?

Hi,
not yet, but there is an "hack" to activate SLI on any Nvidia combination, called different SLI auto. If you follow the thread on techpower up, you´ll see that they are currently working on getting thing running with the latest 382.33 driver. I´ll keep you updated
