[Predimus]

It should automatically use SLI if it is enabled in the NVIDIA control panel.

You sure you are not running Steam in some kind of compatibility mode?

Can you give a link to your result?

GPU_NUMBER_OF_GPUS = 1

I wonder why it claims to detect only one.

Can you verify that the GPU count in help tab is set to automatic?

Does anything change if you manually force the GPU count to 2?

Can you start a command prompt, go to the install folder where 3DMark files are and run

dxinfo.exe > dxinfo.txt

and then email the dxinfo.txt file to [e-mail]?

Also might be worth trying the beta we have available on Steam if it works any differently in this regard.

it was on automatic and i changed it to 2 tried it on the extreme and it seemed to detect both cards

Just curious; What does GPU-Z show on your system - does it show the SLI being enabled?

(we use GPU-Z dll to detect the number of GPUs so in theory GPU-Z should also show wrong, in which case you probably would want to report the issue to the developers of GPU-Z...)

In the meanwhile, setting the GPU count manually is a fine workaround - just always make sure that the setting matches the number of GPUs present - any other value would give massively reduced score.

IIRC, Fire Strike is for single cards. Fire Strike Extreme is for SLI. I believe it says this in the description when you first start 3D Mark.

You can run either in SLI. It is just that Fire Strike (normal) may be bit lightweight for high end multi-GPU systems (so processor starts to matter more)
