How to enable SLI on XPS 1730?

I have the latest drivers from dell.com

nVidia GeForce GO 8700M GT SLI
R167604.EXE


In the control panel I do not see any option to enable SLI.  I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers too.

Right click on desktop and on the pop-up left click you can change it from the panel.

I thought you mean't the Windows' c.p.

If I were you, I would go to http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/ and get the latest drivers as the 'stock' drivers leave a lot to be desired.

Please read my post before replying.  I said in my post that I can't find it under the Nvidia Control panel.  If the option is in the control panel, I have yet to find it.


If it's not in the panel, what would cause that?

Double check your device manger to see is 2 cards are seen; should look like the screen cap

If it doesn't see 2 cards then you won't get the Sli option in the NV contol panel.

 

If it is only seeing one card, then try to re-install drivers; IMO, I would use these for the 8700M cards if your using Vista.

If you still have only see one card then you may have a bad card or you only have a single 8700M in your system.
