SLI Help

[Oldirty]

When I run SLI my 2d desktop is fine, but when I run a game like, World Of Warcraft or Need For Speed Shift, or any in general, even 3d Mark vantage, about 50% of the screen shakes uncontrollably out of focus, like it's out of v-sync or something. If I disable sli it stops... and the game works fine. I just built this, it's my first sli setup, is it that I got a bad card or is the sli setup not right? please help.

There is a green bar on the side of my screen on 3d aps, so that means it's good to go?

That shows that SLi is working OK but have the screen issues gone away or not?

 

[Oldirty]

they have!

Then it sounds like you have a faulty SLi bridge if the removal of and running without does the trick, it should run better if you can get a new one the works.

so my frame rate will improve with another sli bridge? because theese cards are running about the same as my old graphics card was. but it is working atleast, and does the sli bridge need to be from my mobo manufacture or do I order one from a cpu store or newwegg?

They can be any brand but get a flexible one due to length.

I don't think they will, the last time I had an ATi bridge to compare with the connectors were different widths.
