    Some queries about my new 3XS System

    Hello All,

    You probably get these same noobish questions all the time, but I picked up my Scan 3XS this afternoon, and I am just setting things up now.

    Under Control Panel->System

    I have:

    Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2500K CPU @ 3.30GHz 3.30GHz

    When I go into the Detailed Information it reads:

    Dedicated graphics Memory 1024MB


    Now, does the first line mean that I am running the CPU profile that is not overclocked?

    I would have expected the second line to read:

    Dedicated graphics memory 2048MB, as I have 2 cards running in SLI. Is this the case?

    Also, I can see 2 graphics cards on the back of my PC, each with 2 ports for my monitor, and a 5th vertical port, that looks like an on board graphics slot. Which one of these should I be plugging my monitor into. I have currently selected the left hand one (as I look at them) on the highest graphics card. Is this correct?

    Sorry about these noobish questions, before today, I had never had more than one graphics card, and I have never had an over clocked system. Also, every other PC I have bought has come with a 1 sided sheet of A4, "Plug this in first, press this switch second"-Hand-holding type of guide which this doesn't.

    I have a bigger problem now. How do I roll back drivers?

    Re: Some queries about my new 3XS System

    Hi

    Sli will only show 1 cards memory thats working as it should

    To test the Overclock as Sandybridge only OC on demand use the Prime 95 Program and CPUz (Should be on the desktop as a shortcut)

    To roll back the drivers you can do this in device manager , double click on the Display Adaptor then on driver (Nvidia) and goto the drivers tab and select rollback driver

    If you need any more help we are back in at 9am Monday

    Regards

    Ben
