So there's two physical cards right now? The control panel just lists those two with no other controls or information.

One is probably an IGP, integrated onto your motherboard. The other is probably a discrete physical card.
Try updating drivers?

Latest from the site. I take it the integrated one is the one with the least dedicated memory?

Also, I take it this means that, if I swap the dedicated card for a different model, the SLi thing becomes moot and I need to find a way to disable the integrated graphics?

Yes, usually through the BIOS.
