I know. SLI meaning the cards are connected physically over SLI. SLI always has to be disabled. But in order the normal cards don't have the wgl_gpu_affinity-extension, you can't decided by your own code in Equalizer to use the cards seperately. That's why your client fucks up, because you are trying to enter the 2-pipe config although you don't have logically two cards (only one), because your cards don't have the OpenGL extension you need. You can also see this by open your system device manager. when you look into the graphics interface description, you see that although both cards are seperately there, both are bind to exactly the same device, only different memory addresses.
