SLI Flickering in all games?

[Blue Cypher]

Just built a new rig and got 2 9600gt's in SLI and i get flickering in all my games! yet when i am not in SLI mode it doesnt do it

anybody help with this please

 

[eggcup]

is it in a particular half of the screen??

try altering how SLi renders the scenes, under 3d settings options you should have a drop down list of "nvidia recomended", "Split frame", "Aternate frame".

Try alternate frame rendering

no its all the screen and its a regular flicker, constant and only does it with SLI

 

[eggcup]

if that ^doesnt solve it, try swapping your cards round and seeing if one of the cards is borked

eggcup i did as you said and put it in split frame mode, and i only get the top half of the screen!

 

[eggcup]

hmm put 1 card in at a time, trying them seperatly

will do mate

If your using a the SLI bridge its possible the bridge is causing problems, try bridgeless.

i tied the cards sperately and one of them wont output to the monitor, looks like its borked, and its a new one from overclockers aswell, was dead on arrival! as thois is the first time i have tried to use it.

How would i go about RMA on it?

Yep, it definately sounds like one card just isn't doing anything, so every other frame is blank.
