I would think that it would only show 1 card.

i think you must disable physics for both gpu in order to use all in octane :roll:

Please Rico, can you post the screenshot of the nvidia contropanel of the new machine?

This is how it was supposed to look like. I wonder about same thing, the issue with your other machine...perhaps lack of SLI capability of the mobo?

ok, after an afternoon spent in putting on and off all my cards, i've found the solution.
The SLI in not a problem, my motherboard is only crossfire, the problem was the GS8400 in the PCI slot that failed the nvidia driver installation. I've put it in a drawer, attach the monitor to one 590 and now I have 2x GTX 590 with 4 GPU for octane, not bad ;)
it's time to update my signature
