im having diffuculty running sli on this board. if i run 1x7900gtx i score about 26000 in 3dmark 03 . when i enable sli i get much worst scorer .ive tried both cards seperatly and they work fine.sli bridge is set on,even tried turning it around.i noticed that when sli is enabled .all tests run around 119 fps and not any higher .ive also tried defrent moded drivers .theres some settings in the actuall performance drivers ,options are single sli rendering/multiple sli rendering or sli antilising .what should it be set to? ive actually tried all ,same poor scoor .any suggestions?can my bridge be faulty?worked fine on the p5wd2

I have not run this config. I have CF cards.
turns on higher image quality or refresh sync at 120?

If there are no conflicts of devices in Win control panel and if all software is installed correctly, all should work. I tested this configuration, all worked without problems.
If in system were installed 91.XX drivers, and after them were installed 84. XX or 85.96 the driver can work not correctly in SLi !
So if one uses Driver cleaner to remove all traces of the 91.xx-drivers, the 85.96_mod will work?

Unfortunately I cannot precisely tell it, but I had problems some times when did usual uninstall of 91XX drivers.

ive had them all the time ,and yes big sam ,i have had 91.xx drivers installed before. i got it working a bit yesterday and got this http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=4963248
now this is more proper scorer .the thing is i get red backround in tests.

Hmmm, I'm thinking either the bridge got damaged (you did remoev static before handling the bridge, right?) or the board just isn't good at SLI. It's more focused on Crossfire as it is.
