    Hello forum members

    This is a issue that i have had for quite some time and i was wondering
    if anyone can help to try get this working for my P870KM SLI.

    The second GPU Probably needs a VBios Flash ( will i never win if the GPU die's do not match ? )even tough they are both 1070's

    I do have 4 x GTX 1070 cards

    1 is a QUAL sample

    1 is 1615A1 PA3P83.01P the other
    1 is 1615A1 P6U763.04P and
    1 is 1733A1

    Someone must have some information to help

    Nvidia are very strict with SLI and the cards being identical.

    Yeah it could be that, they have to be the same core chips certainly in terms of shader count but they may be doing further checks.

    It could also be the QS card does not have the SLI port properly enabled?

    The QS card is currently being used in my P775DM3 so its just the other 3 that i need to find a way with

    When i use the 1615A1 PA3P83.01P as the slave it has that error 43 i feel like when i look at the GPU in GPUz it just gives me the same info and vbios from the master GPU ( dose this make any sense ? )

    Then when i try to use that same 1615A1 PA3P83.01P as a master GPU the card gives no display ( is there any way of me flashing this card with the original vbios and how would i find that exact bios ? )
    i have tried Googeling it but i cant find on that is certain its that DIE/Core

    Thank you sir for your kind reply. But just to understand more, if I have 2 Clevo gtx 1080's one from DM3 (2016) and the other from KM1 (2017) can't be compatible to work in SLI?

    They use the same core and core code.

    I will definitely give this a try .

    One thing I was thinking is that my P870KM is on the BAKED bios . I might try going back to the original official
    10/30/2019
    Update BIOS Version 1.07.17
    From Clevo see if that fixes not being able to install that 1615A1 PA3P83.01P

    Very excited to give this all a go when I get home

    Just so long as you have a backup of the BIOS before making any changes.
