SLI flickers and tears quick fix!!!!

**DaKine73** · 13 Jun 2009

OK! So the lattests nVidia drivres are driving us mad, with this flickers and tears when playing 3D games in SLI with bridge.

Da' Fix!!!!

Go to nVidia .com get this beta driver (186.08_desktop_win7_winvista_64bit_english_beta) or your flavor of choice wether is x32 or x64, I like x64 my pc seems to like it!!!

This is a Beta driver wich includes nVidias lattest new toy "Stereoscopic 3D"
Down load it and do your thing.

Da' Settings!!!

Get a pair of 3D cheap paper glasses. red and blue lenses.
go to set up your stereoscopic 3D thing.
Once that is set and you are wowed and drooling with the 3D effects.

Do this in the Stereoscopic tab

1....Check the box ....Enable Stereoscopic 3D ON!!!!!!
2....Check the box ....Hide stereoscopic 3D when game starts ON!!!!

And you are done! SLI working
And use keboard short cut to flip from normal mode or stereoscopic mode while playing your fav game.
ex. ctrl+t turn stereoscopic on or of. you' get the hang of it. I did!!!

Note!!! this worked for me!!!
this is what i found and im posting it to help you out! Dont blame me if it dont work for you Blame your recruiter not your drill sargent!!!!!

Performance with this driver still a little questionable. but at least SLI works, isnt that what you paid for!!!!!

??? i am confused ??? arent graphics cards suppose to tear from no vsync and flicker from a lower refresh rate? XD and 3D Vision is too pricey and performance taxing...

**DaKine73** · 16 Jun 2009

you are correct!
but in this case vsync nor refresh rate are the problems.
this problem is related for the lattests drivers 182 to 185.
for video cards series 8500 8600 8800 ect. using sli with bridge (not sli via pci)

for some reason other than the refresh rate, vsync,ect. when playing 3d games that use the full beneffits of sli the bridge this flickers and color tears will occur.
now if we remove the bridge and use sli via the pci bus the problem is corrected but the performance goes down.
since i paid to have the full sli brige performance, i will continue to use it.
and at least i see that our friends at nVidia are working on this fix. (is their fault anyways)

and doing the settings that i mentioned on my prior post fixes this anoying problem,
alowing you to use full sli and to use 3d vission as well.

and yes nvidia 3d vision is expensive but with the beta driver 186 they introduced the 3d vision settings for both the $500 gadget and for the $0.40 3d paper glasses

so if you are broke like me, i recoment the cheap glasses. the effects still stunning.
