I would think that it would only show 1 card.

so that means that the card is instaled properly ,why is octane not showing two cards ?

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

Physics is off. i will try now to install the card on my second workstation and see what happend ,

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?

thanks ribrahomedesign and Timmaigh, my mobo is not good enough, it seem that i will work with 580 instead of 590 for some time
i've found this, but i don't know if is the solution

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
