Foxconn Renaissance X58 Digital Life -Retail- (Core i7, Nehalem)

[Blacklash]

Yes.. I can't speak about that, cause there may be some "cheap" X58 motherboards, which might not support SLI.

But this thread is all about Renaissance and SLI will work on this motherboard for sure. I have tested both CF and SLI Is that clear enough now

Ok I got my flexible SLi bridges and there is nothing I can do to get GTX 260 SLi working properly in this motherboard.

I've tried the BIOS at default settings and setting the PCI-e slots to enabled with port 0 as high priority. The reason I did that is I get no signal from the card in slot 0 with two cards installed and rather get a signal from the second orange slot card before driver installation.

I've switched the cards around and tried a host of BIOS settings. Including default, PCI-e high priority disabled, with other slots to auto. PCI-e high priority disabled plus other slots enabled, PCI-e high priority set to slot 0, and others enabled, and PCI-e high priority set to slot 0 and other slots auto.

After I install the nVidia drivers I can get a signal from the top slot card and not until windows is prompting me for my password.

When I start the nVidia CP there are no options available for SLi.

It treats my card much like my BX2 did my 8800GT I used as a PhysX card. However these are not different cards. They're twin Evga GTX 260s. Same BIOS, same core, memory and shader clock.

Any ideas would be appreciated. I've been playing with this thing for hours switching cards around, reinstalling drivers and fiddling with the BIOS. No luck.

This mobo is behaving like my BX2 did with two cards, or that is no SLi support.
