Device manager also shows both cards showing both cards GTX770, GTX970, till now i tried to play RE2,DMC5, AC odyssy all games default chosen GTX 770(no option to select or switch to GTX970) but far cry new dawn game only had option to choose GTX970 in game options.
nVidia control panel also default display adaptor was chosen as GTX770, there is no option to select GTX970

Hi It came with GTX770 and GTX 970 only i bought this on 2016, Now warranty expired no support from Dell also, That is why looking for some tips or method which i don't know really

direct from dell? cause you can't sli like that.
if you feel lucky, you can try disable the 770, but it might make it worst

I dont think its SLI- because SLI normally both cards are same model, This is different... I gave it to shop to check they connect display port from GTX770 to GTX970, after that windows not boot up so normalize the connection back to gtx770...
