680 SLI Display Issue

So when switching to SLI mode with my 2 680s I get red bars across the steam gradients, this only happens when ingame and I think a similar thing happens on the BF3 loading screen. The 680s perform very well and I notice no strange colours while actually in the games playing but does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it?

Here are some images excuse the poor quality.

Are you using the WHQL drivers? 301.10?

What ports are you connecting your monitors through? DVI?

Do you have any custom color profiles set?

I'd try doing a complete uninstall of the drivers and then do a clean install. I don't have this problem with my 680s.

Yes I'm using the latest drivers.

I'm using a dual link DVI as I have a 120hz monitor.

Not sure about colour profiles I'll try restore my monitor to the defaults.

I recently reinstalled the drivers but I didn't remove them first how can I completely remove then?

Thanks again
 
Go into the control panel, go to Programs and Features, select the NVIDIA graphics driver and select uninstall. When you reinstall the NVIDIA drivers select the option to do a clean install.

No problem :)
 
Ah I've just seen it's more than just the overlay the sky in Red Orchestra 2 is redish and I can see flickering as well. Could it possibly be my bridge I've heard similar problems to this and it was the 2 way bridge that was the problem I'm using the asus one than came with my motherboard.

I'll try a fresh install and report back.
 
I had a similar problem a few years ago, the issue was Digital Vibrance was turned on too high and it screwed up the color gradients, hope that helps.

Edit: yes a bad/poorly seated SLI bridge will also screw up your colors.
 
Yeah the Clean driver install didn't make a difference, I don't have any Digital Vibrance options in my display so not sure about that. I will quickly fiddle with my sli bridge, wish me luck.

**UPDATE**

Problem Solved might have been the SLI bridge the wrong way around if that effects it, or it just wasn't pushed in fully.

Thanks to those who helped.

I have a few spare SLI bridges so if you don't have a good one and no easy way to get one, I can send you one.
 
I had a broken bridge that caused some wacky stuff like this, haha.
 
I had this problem. It's the SLI bridge. Either you're using a really old one or you didn't install the bridge correctly. Just take it out and firmly press it back in place. Use your thumb to make sure it has proper contact.

I never had this issue with digital vibrance enabled. In fact I always have this enabled. How did this surface again just our of curiosity :) I have it pretty much maxed out in all my old nvidia PCs.
