    [SOLVED] No SLI option: 285.62 x64?

    As the thread title states. I have done a complete reinstall, have even wiped and sweeped registry, reinstalled again, no go.

    However I reverted back to the old 285.38 betas, and it shows up again and works fine. Just to make sure I'm not seeing things, I installed 285.62 once more... no go.

    Is there an issue with this driver and SLI not showing up? I even reseated cards, reconnected SLI cable. I am stumped...

    System specs with significance of the situation:

    Two EVGA GTX 470's (Identical, in SLI)
    Corsair HX1000 power supply.
    EVGA E758 Motherboard

    Well I found the answer to my own problem.

    If anyone does have this problem, make sure you have the older beta drivers installed first, and just do an upgrade. For me, that kept my SLI options in the control panel.

    Make sure you do not do a clean install.

    Once again, this does not apply for everybody, but for people who had the asme issue I had.

    No issues here on a clean install of Windows.

    Clean install (driver sweeper, safe mode etc)

    SLI option from the get go!. Also performance wise these drivers deliver.
    Just cause 2, Dead Island and Batman run (for me) smoother!.
