P!nkpanther, several of your posts were very helpful and are responsible for my success in running DSLIA and install.cmd.
Glad to hear...!
...but the nvidia control panel is still telling me my SLI bridge is not installed.

Asus Sabertooth 990FX r.2.0...
First, happy to see somebody post their system specs firsthand when asking a question.
Should be common sense, but unfortunately this is a minority...
I take it from your SLI capable MoBo that you didn't have success in SLIing your 970s the normal way and had to resort to DSLIA to bypass nVidia's checks. Now that message about not having a bridge installed is quite common, even when a bridge is present.
I suspect it has to do with cards using different types/manufacturers of VRAM, even in the same card model.
I'd recommend to use a monitor program like nvidiaInspector and watch the bus load, on a second monitor if you have it.
If the bridge works properly, you see little bus load and GPU load should be evenly balanced among both cards.
In case of a non-functioning bridge, bus load will spike, depending on the application. If one of the PCIe slots is slower than the other (not the case with your MoBo, if you use the correct slots), this might also lead to asymmetrical load balance in this case.
It's a thing to keep an eye on over a couple of days...
Talking about PCIe bus: To keep bus load low, it's important to connect all monitors to the same card, if possible. Shared display space over different cards creates a significant bus load, even if it's only your desktop!
