  | Re: sli image tearing and flickering 8600GT $ 10$ via paypal if you solve the issue!! If you imagine your problem as a golf ball and place that ball into a glass of water that represents everything else...then you will see that the problem does indeed seem rather large in comparison to everything else. Now, pick up that ball and drop it into a swimming pool that represents everything else. you see now that the problem by comparison is much smaller and some might say insignificant. You might be thinking but the problem is still there! Of course! But it is now so much smaller!  Which games are you using with these graphics problems and are there any gams you play that don;t have these problems? |

  | Re: sli image tearing and flickering 8600GT $ 10$ via paypal if you solve the issue!! Have you tried disabling SLi? It may have to do with lousy SLi coding for those games. |

| Re: sli image tearing and flickering 8600GT $ 10$ via paypal if you solve the issue!! personally I would first off disable SLI if that didn't do the job revert your OC to defaults that usualy helps for the most part. Check your temps while gaming see if they all are ok |

| Re: sli image tearing and flickering 8600GT $ 10$ via paypal if you solve the issue!! thanks super very much short after i posted the question ( essentially gave up! ) i found the problem to be common and was on hardware level, THE SLI BRIDGE caused the problems and it does so with the 8600gt cards and once you remove it they r super fine! you loose very little bandwidth! and almost no forseable performance difference so i am cool and called the super nice guys at XFX to ship me a new SLI bridgE! THANKS GUYS THANKS A LOT!!! |
