Unable to SLI 2x GTX-970's in Windows 10

[MaddMutt]

I'm currently test my collection of video cards and have hit a snag in Windows 10 :-( I was able to run 2x GTX-960's (4GB) in SLI and 2x GTX-980Ti's in SLI but not the GTX-970's. I have a EVGA GTX-970 FTW and 2 EVGA GTX-970 SSC that are both 4GB versions. I'll admit that I have not tried the 2 SSC's in SLI yet BUT it should have still worked. NVidia control panel - stated that I needed to install the SLI Bridge for them to properly SLI?? I used several different SLI bridges but none worked with this setup, they worked with the GTX-6xx, 7xx, and 9xx cards.
Can a NVidia card properly work but the SLI Fingers be damaged?? I have checked them and also cleaned them and see no damage.

Thank You

EVGA has three different versions of GTX 970 and you cannot make the different versions work in SLI. Here's the list...

there is actually a work around that works, I cant find what I used when I had my 970's. There really was not that much to gain from my efforts

I know "SLI with any card" over at TPU doesn't work.
