I'm running a 3 way sli setup. As soon as I start any 3d app in full screen mode the screen goes black and I can't do anything I have to restart the pc. In windowed mode it work fine. If I disable sli it work.
I tested all card seperatly they all work in full screen.
I tried changing sli bridge, clean driver installation, enable gen3 in bios... What's the problem ??
The problem only occur in full screen mode it seems to make the pc crash.I have the lastest bios version, windows is updated. I connected all power cord I could on the card and motherboard. The cards are not overheating... I have no clue what's going on ??
😞
I aslo tested on dvi port with monitor and hdmi port with my tv it does the same thing.
As soon as the cards are under load the screens goes black and it crash.
I did some test with sli bridge:
2 way sli that work
2 way sli that work
3 way sli don't work
3 way sli don't work
3 way sli don't work
none of these worked
with the dip switch here I can turn on/off each pcie slot, so tested each card in each slot and they are all working perfectly by themselves. I'm pretty sure the hardware is not failing. I really don't want to test an other mobo.
other test I did that didn't help:
-installed windows on an other ssd with nothing else except the nvidia driver
-clean driver uninstall in safe mode and installed every possible driver
-updated bios, reseted bios/cmos
-updated windows and every possible driver
-cleaning the SLI ports on the cards with isopropyl
-downclocking the core gpu
-tested every output
-tested different cable
-tested different display monitor/tv
-Pulled the bridge slightly out so it doesnt bottom, flipped it, moved it while it was under load
nothing work.
I found some sort of work around to make3 way sli work. My monitor 1440p plugged in the dvi port and my tv 1080p is plugged in the hdmi port. If I clone the monitor display with my tv I can use 3 way sli without crashing. But the resolution drop to 1080p. I tested with 3dmark and the third card is working because I get much higher score than two way sli.
That's weird why does it work in duplicate screen or single screen in windowed mode but not in full screen with single monitor.
My display model is a Qnix2710 evolution II connected with a d-dvi cable male/male and my tv is a samsung ue55f6400 connected with an hdmi cable. I'm using the d-dvi port and the hdmi port on the first card.
I'm using the pcie_x16_1, pcie_x8_2 and pcie_x16/x8_3 like it's written in the manual for 3 way sli. The power plug(ez-plug) at the bottom is connected. I also connected both eatx plug(8 and 4 pins) for the cpu at the top.
I also noticed when the screen become black if I wait long enough it will sometimes go back to desktop with error message unigine stopped working for example.
I really want this to work. I have been thinking about this issue night and day for the last week this is driving me crazy why 3 way sli wont work there's no reason... I don't see what else I could do
cpu I7 5930k
RAM quad channel corsair 4gb 2800mhz
psu corsair 1500axi
modo asus rampage v x99 (ez plug is plugged)
