jonhaller Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Hello, new here, but i couldnt help but notice that everyone is having issues with windows 8.1 and SLI configuration. I would like to start of saying that this is NOT a "oh, SLI works with mine, I don't know why you all are having problems" kind of post. I merely wish to post my system information and any other information anyone would request that could assist in possibly finding a fix for the SLI issues, whether or not SLI is actually working, and why my experience has been different from everyone elses. I also apologize for my poor formatting. Also, cool info is that the 750m's here are the rarer gddr5 versions, making them significantly faster than the ddr3 versions. Good job lenovo.
