Default SLI - Problem solved.
Just My luck after two full days of searching...

Quote:
A GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB must be paired with another GeForce 8800 GTS 512 MB, regardless of graphics card manufacturer to enable SLI technology.
GeForce 8800

There's always one exception hidden away!

I missed that above quote from the Nvidia FAQ that I read on day 1:

Quote:
Can I mix and match graphics cards with different sizes of memory?
While it is not recommended, NVIDIA does offer this flexibility using Coolbits. When purchasing a second graphics card, you should try to match the memory size so that you are ensured full value and performance from your purchase. For example, if your first card is a GeForce 6600 GT with 128MB of memory, you should purchase a second GeForce 6600 GT with 128MB of memory. However, using Coolbits (value set to 18), you can force both of the cards to use the lower of the two memory sizes and operate together in SLI mode. When dissimilar memory sizes are enabled to work together using Coolbits, the effective memory size for each card becomes the smaller of the two memory sizes.

Grrr!

You only need two tools: WD40 and Duck Tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the WD40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the tape.
