I'm not too sure where to post this. I feel like this community would be great for helping this situation! I recently sent my cousin (who is new to computers and bought a built computer on amazon for a decent price) my old MSI GTX 970 so he could SLI with the one he currently has. Here is the problem he has an ASUS strix 970 (from what i can gather) and it doesn't want to SLI at all (I've found lots of posts on forums from people saying these cards just won't work together). I have talked him through rebuilding his whole pc (mostly just replacing his motherboard and reinstalling everything else) and I think he is feeling let down by the whole process since the SLI just refuses to work.
Here is really what I'm hoping for, some one that is willing to trade with him for one or the other card! I have ran through everything with him, both cards are read by the MOBO and function just fine but nothing is working to fix it! I can only think that he needs 2 of the MSI cards or 2 of ASUS cards. Please help my cousin! He is in the army and doesn't know much about this stuff. I know it's kind of a long shot. If you are in the Seattle area and are able to help him please let me know!
Again he is in the Seattle area, for immediate help.
If this is posted in the wrong section I am sorry. IDK where to post this. Just looking for some fellow friends to help out my family.
Thank you so much!
