Vista - SLI Problem

Hello

Running a Core 2 Quad 6600, 2 Albatron 8800 320mb GTS cards, 4gb (3gb under
Vista Premium 32bit) on an ASUS P5N-E SLI motherboard (latest Bios). When I
try to play Railroads or any of the Civilization games in SLI mode I get two
stripes going down the left hand side of the screen with the words SLI
during gameplay or bootup. This does not happen on the desktop or in single
card mode. Have not tried any other games since I have noticed the problem
and have been using Nivida 32bit Vista drivers 162.22 through to 163.69. I
have downloaded the MS Patches which are supposed to improve performance but
when I try to install them WIndows says they are not for my system. Has
anyone else been having this problem or knows what I can do?

Thanks Shawn

different types of sli mode?

Under "3D Settings" make sure "Show SLI Visual Indicators" is turned off.

Hello

I tried the settings for SLI Performance Mode and get a single line across
the screen instead with SLI still on left side of screen. Where is the SLI
Indicators menu? Still using the Vista Nvidia control panel.

Thanks again Shawn

I know it's off the point, but playing Civilization in SLI mode is just a
waste of electricity.
