is sli supported vista beta 2

I have the latest drivers from the nVidia website and two GeForce 6800GTs, but I can't seem to enable SLI in Vista. Its not that Vista won't let me, its just that I can't actually find the checkbox anywhere. Help? Thanks!

I think you need to use the classing control panel to see the nvidia applets if i'm not mistaken.
I don't have SLI though..

I have a Asus A8N32-SLI board and 2 7900GT's i dont have to turn off SLI to boot, but the nVidia applet does not have the SLI enable feature as it does in XP

Same Issue with MSI K8N Diamond Plus and 2 7900GTX's. Enabled SLI in the bios, but their is not an enable feature as described by Nvidia in the 3D settings. System boots fine, but I believe that Vista is only utilizing one of the GPU's. I get the same performance results in the Vista Performance Test, and the same frame rates in Fear, with one or both cards installed. Guess that's why they call them "Beta they don't work yet"!

Exactly the same problem, with the same cards as yours. I call BFG's guys at least five times, and every time I got a different advise; none of them work. Simply, there is no an SLI enabling option in the nVidia control panel. How did you enabled SLI in BIOS? I have a ASUS A8N32SLI Deluxe MB. Thank you.

I have the same hardware as yours; how did you turned SLI on ? Thank you.

Some mother boards allow you to turn it on and off in bios, mine boots with card enabled, but the second card will not work it tells me low in resources. Nvidia doesn’t seem to have a control applet in there Bata drivers. Any ideas on when they will allow sli to be enabled?

I would not be surprised if it was awhile for Nvidia to have an SLI driver. The current one is to get Vista up and runnign for tech professionals, their current install does not even have their basic monitor controls. I expect a later beta driver to add those, and SLI probably pretty close to ship.

my boot times are slow with the 7900GTX and I don't have nay NVidia applet in the control panel of Vista or a service I could disable to allow for booting. The computer boots (takes longer than it should) tried to install the actual drivers as Vista loaded something for me but the actual ones would not insall at all :( Disabling in BIOS is this best left if you can boot as XP is on my other drive which boot happily with my card. I bought my computer specifically for Vista and the card was listed but Vista reports it as a boot issue :( it scores well in the ratings just slows down boot times.
