GeForce 9600 GT drivers won't install

That board does not support SLI.
Sorry for the very late response.

Ouch...

BTW Where the heck have you been ? ?

You know, I'm not too sure myself . . .

I made the foolish assumption  that it supported SLI because it was included on the newegg search for which I had chosen SLI as one of the filters.  The instruction manual had a page for ATI Crossfire and then another page for "Multiple Graphics Cards".  I hoped that they had merely been unwilling to pay nVidia for the rights to us "SLI Certified".  After much frustration I came to the result posted by Calum. 

That crummy board has been replaced with an EVGA 123-YW-E175-A1 LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 750i FTW SLI ATX.  It's sweet.

The board's not crummy, it was just listed wrongly on the site.
For future reference, any board that does not have an Nvidia chipset (exception: Intel Skulltrail, and upcoming X58) will not support SLI.
Sorry to see you got misled by the description, but at least you know now.

Well, the board was crummy for another reason.  Newegg refunded the price because the onboard LAN was defective.

At least you got your money back so you could buy a SLI support MB!

I just bought a 9600 GT nvidia and shows as generic VGA under display adapter. the disk that came with it wont work to install it. Ive installed the best drivers i could find from nvidia and it still wont read my video card. maybe im using the wrong driver. if you have any links to driver downloads that you know work or any advice it would be much appreciated.

nitelife2989, start your own thread, don't hijack other threads.

[nitelife2989]

clearly the post above cant read... i have the latest drivers and wont work the disk i got is a xfx disk (came with the 9600 GT card. it tells me that it isnt a xfx card and nvidia says it cant find any software to match my hardware any advice.

Sorry, nitelife2989.  This is nto your thread.  It is easier to start your own because you won't get any false information(and you won't have to deal with posts like mine and quantos's)

[nitelife2989]

why start another one exactly the same, i figured there is one and they have got some ideals already on how to fix it so why not give it a shot and maybe get my video card working. but apparently no one knows anything about my prob so you tell me to go else where.  thought this sight was help for everyone not just you.

Because those are the rules, follow them if you want help.

You know, I found the same thing when searching for video cards on NewEgg for another thread. I had specified certain features (2 VGA outputs, or 1 VGA and 1 DVI) and found a few listed in there as not fitting that. Given the number of things they sell on there, it's not surprising there are mistakes.

Sorry, this particular thread is for this person's particular issue. You're more than welcome to try the solutions presented here, but if they don't work for you, start your own thread specific to your own issue and we will gladly come help. This prevents confusion with trying to solve two potentially different issues in the same thread, regardless of how similar they might seem. We're not telling you to go elsewhere, we're just telling you to start your own thread for your own issue.
