I do notice now, though that even though both my GTX-260 cards are listed in the device manager (not showing the on board 980a/760 chipset like before I shut down the BIOS Hybrid SLI, but only the 2 260's) I can add the 1 inactive 260 to the other to show as having 2 active. Now, when I activate the Render VP it switches back to showing 1 as active and 1 inactive. Should I physically remove the provided bridge strip between the cards since this is probably a SLI feature as well? Or is it a matter of Node purchase? Is each GPU on a board considered another Node Purchase.

Thank You

a license is per PC, you can have as many GPUs in it as you wish.
