hi again octane forum, today im having a new gtx 570 from pny, so i updated with my gtx 570 gigabyte oc and gtx 560 ti, im having problem with windows its says that cant run the pny gtx 570 on my system, its possible that the gtx 570 video cards have to be the same model and chip?, my mother board its an asrock z68 extreme 7 gen3, i dont know because octane doesnt work sli so the video cards would be the same model but different brand. really appreciate some advice thanks.

Either right click on the device manager entry for the new card and see in the properties if there is a driver installed for it, or look in the nvidia panel to see if there is one listed for it.
It should have detected the new hardware and either installed a driver automatically or asked you for one.
Assuming its ok SLI should be disabled in the nvidia panel options.
Probably if it was enabled it would not be happy because one card runs faster ie is overclocked and out of step with the other.
The manual mentions the need for identical cards but it shouldnt matter in this case because the cards are not physically linked/bridged.
Perhaps also look to see if a card has also been set to handle Physx rather than graphics.
Other thoughts are to do with the card order in the pcie slots in respect of 8/16x and pcie2/3.
Perhaps try the 2x570 in 1+4 slots and 560 in 6,or alternatively the 570 in 4+6 with 560 in 1
Make sure you are not extending the desktop UI across these cards as well.
Perhaps you need to disable the built in graphics in the bios.
It looks like it is active in the screen shot. Where is your monitor plugged in?
This may be a special Asrock feature because I dont think Windows usually allows built in + card together?? Perhaps built in + 3 others is too many?
I suggest you study p37 and p74 of the Asrock mobo manual for bios settings in relation to this.
Possibly there is a bug fixed in a later bios version? you will need to check that yourself.
HTH :)

3thrd..i try to connect it the 570 in 6 and 570 in 4 and 560 ti in 1 same thing happens.

4th.. i try right click administrator ssoftware update then select the dvd for the drivers then restart and same thing happens.

Ok, you might try disabling the built in graphics in the bios and plugging your monitor into the 560 in the first slot, and put the 570 in 4+6.
This would be the 'standard way' to run Octane.
If it works ok you know there is something odd with using the built in at the same time.

Another possibility is that the new card is actually defective. Try it on its own or without the other 570, or in another pc to see if it runs. I presume your previous set up all ran ok before you added the new card.

Still another possibility is that your power supply doesnt have enough watts to run them all.
It would take a very good 850W but more likely 950-1050W.
Enermax seem to have the most options for 3 way cards in that capacity.

hi again pixel rush still with no success..., i tried the bios option i put disable expandable monitors then save changes and exit.

then i tried to have the new pny gtx 570 and gtx 560 and works perfectly i tried let the gtx 570 pny only and it works too.

2nd.-my power supply is 1000 watts coolmaster 80 plus.

3.- i check if theres a bios update, it says that if i do it wrong i could let the system unoperable so i dont know to much about computers settings of bios, i dont want to get my system unoperable. thanks for the suggestion i will try to work with both 570 and without the gtx 560 and see if that works.
