csgators Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 (edited) I am having this exact same problem with Fallout 3 and Oblivion but google has failed me this time. I recently built a new PC with Win 7 64-bit and installed Oblivion and FO3, running better than ever. Then my second video card arrived about a week later. So great, I get the new card installed and setup SLI. Now when I launch either game it look almost like an old analog TV set getting bad reception. Bands of the screen skew to the right and at times the whole screen turns gray (if I wait I can eventually see well enough to hit the exit button). I have tried with and without V-sync both the game setting and the nVidia setting (V-sync on simply makes it worse). Setting the profile to only use 1 GPU resolves the problem but that isn't a solution! The hardware involved is: ASUS P8P67 Pro motherboardIntel i7-2600 @3.4 GHz2 nVidia GTS 250's with 1GB RAM running SLI4GB DDR3 1600Mhz Corsair Dominator RAM Any suggestions would be appreciated.

csgators Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 Solved the problem, for anyone who has a similar issue the problem was the SLI bridge. I moved the bridge to the 2nd set of connectors on the cards and now everything works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate the reply nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csgators Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 Well the only hardware change was adding a 2nd GTS 250 and switching to SLI. Considering it is running flawlessly on the highest settings (Oblivion at least) I'm not tempted in the slightest to delete any files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
