    HI guys how are you?

    I have a doubt and need some help

    i just bought a MB GA-Z87X-OC Force, it`s working nice

    But when i enable my 2 way SLI in something weird happen

    when i concet the cable, in my cade a DP one because i use 1440p here in the top card it shows that the monitor is connectd in the VGA number 2 and not the number 1, and when i connect the cable in the botton card it shows that is the VGA one, it is wrong right? Or normal in some cases?

    Take a look, this example is when i have the cable and SLI enabled in the botton card

    Should this config be correct in the top card instead the botton one?

    Thanks

    Anyone?

    The cards are plugged in the first slot and slot 3 as the manual asks to to make 16/16, i just confirmed in the GPUZ that i`m using 16/16 here, but just in Nvidia control panel it says that if i connect the video cable in the card that is in the first slot i`m using the card 2 instead the card 1

    Thanks

    I'm not sure I follow... Plug the display in first card (top card) and put the cards in PCIEX16_1 and PCIEX16_3 slots (recommended by the manual).

    That`s what i did, it`s in 1 and 3 slot`s and i`m sure about that because it`s running 16/16 and not 8/8

    Guys just to be sure, take a look at the image, i`m using the slots that i make the blue arrow, is this correct?
