Make sure it's the same card in dxdiag. Just type dxdiag in the search bar in the start button and hit enter. The model of your card should be under the display tab. It's possible that the only thing that's different is the cooler. Also keep in mind that there are different lengths of the SLI bridges, make sure you have the right one.

It's not going to fit over the cards in SLI. It didn't work with a pair of 760 Hawks. Cards PCB brace doesn't allow it

Frank, I am surprised your W7 Ult. did not recognise the card. I just had to install it in to the PCIE slot on the motherboard and after rebooting the system just installed the driver. Alternatively go to the Trendnet site and download the right driver. You will need the exact model number to have the right driver . Cheers, Les

As long as the memory is the same, the brand shouldn't make a difference. If the memory speed is mismatched or the memory size is different then the card with the lower/slower memory spec will lock down and dictate the overall spec for the SLI setup.

The motherboard itself has 2 video card slots, the space between is tight, but SLI could work. Updrade the power supply.

Sorry for the basic question but did you plug in the molex power? It will not work correctly without additional power. If you have another pcie slot to try then do that. Mine is okay

No. PNY does not include a SLI bridge with their cards. If you buy this card you should make it a point to get a decent power supply with both a 6 and 8 pin connectors. You should make sure of this. Adapters are not always good enough. Good luck with your upgrade.

Yes it will. Just make sure to set them to sli in the nvidia control panel after installing the bridge.

I am no computer expert but I can tell you I have this motherboard in 4 machines now and run a NVIDIA Quadro K600 Video Card in two machines and run no separate video card (use the motherboard's inherent videocard) in the other two. I have not found an application that has had a problem with the video either way. I can't answer about SLI because I don't know what that is. Sorry.

Considering that on average, while running newer games on Ultra settings, I'm only using a total of around 330 watts, I would say it'll probably work. On the other hand, there's literally no reason to use two of these in SLI; even with just one I can run any new game on the highest possible settings in every area and still get 60+FPS. The second card won't do anything.

Yea but it must be with another of the same card. And why would you buy two of these? Most games can't even benefit from sli and a 770 is cheaper and will give you better performance for all non cuda applications.

Depends what you want the card for. In my case World of Warcraft doesn't do SLI so I got the best single card.

If updating drivers did not work then you may need to double check that the card is seated evenly and solidly. If reseating it does not help then it may just be defective and need to be returned.

According to MSI website the card runs on the PCI Express x16 3.0 port. This will not work due to the card requiring a newer skit than the one you mentioned.

You can only SLI with the exact same chipset. Meaning, you need this card, as is, x2 ($1000+) (also you really wouldn't need that for anything, the 780 on its own can do a beast of a job)

You can just make sure you uninstall the drivers for it while it is still plugged in. Once they're uninstalled remove the old card and add the new one. Install the new drivers that come with the card and you should be all good. I had issues with the drivers on the cd not matching the card so if all else fails just grab the newest driver online.Enjoy :D (R9 290 is a great card)
