I just got a second video card to run in SLI mode.

I know it will not help in SL but I do play other games that it does, besides for $100 it was a good deal.

Now I can not set the full screen resuoltion higher than 1152x846 and that kind of sucks on by big LCD monitor since it's native resoultion is 1280x1024.

When I try to switch I can see it attempting but then it gives me the message: Failed to switch to resoultion 1280x1024

I forgot to mention it used to run 1280x1024 just fine.

System Info:
AMD Athalon64 3500+
1GB Ram
2X nVidia 6800GT PCIE 256MB
Forceware version 91.47 (latest)

You can use SLI for SL you just have to make a profile for it.

Yeah, I figured that out too.

But even with a profile, and I tried all the different SLI mode settings including single GPU mode (no SLI) and I still can not get the 1280x1024 resoultion to work like it used to.
