    Hello
    Im a complete noob when it comes to SLI, but I am pretty sure my SLI has not ever been working...
    I have 2 512mb Geforce Go 7950 GTXs in my laptop, and have gone into the NVIDIA settings and enabled it, but I am really pretty sure that it isnt working...
    I just tried to switch my display to the 2nd graphics card (theres nvidia display and nvidia display (1)) and it didnt work, switching back to the original one shortly after. Also, running diagnostics on my computer with various programs never shows I am running 2 grpahics cards.

    If anyone has any idea what could be wrong, please let me know :)

    Thanks in advance

    without even looking, you are Using Vista right? your cards arent good with Vista, trust me i tried both Vista and XP, win XP can give you a 20-25 Boost with your SLI config. check the thread in my sig for what kind of performance you should be getting.
